This is a fact-free reply, but I am old enough to remember when skim milk was considered fake, bogus, only for groups of people you don’t like, etc. (It also caused a huge dairy byproduct surplus and then cheese had to be included in everything to make the dairy lobby happy.) I recall trying it and hating it just for the texture and taste. But skim and 1% hold up well to ultrapasturizing and those qualities got better in future rounds.
Fast forward some decades and now I find myself using oat or some nut milk in cereal and liking it. I try to lean vegan when I can to avoid inflammatory side affects. The funny thing is that now if I do indulge in dairy milk I go for whole again as if I was 11 years old.
