So is drinking 0% milk better than 1%?

Drinking no milk at all is best! Reducing dairy intake reduces Parkinson's disease rate[0], reduces hip fracture rate[1], reduces twinning offspring rate in women[2], and may even reduce Prostate Cancer[3]. You really don't miss it after a while, and the most annoying thing is modifying your restaurant orders to remove all the cheese :/

I think I might rather have the cancer.

It seems that consuming fermented milk products like Joghurt or Kefir is a lot better

They would be lower lactose and a lot of humans are lactose intolerant to some degree, so there's that.
