Surprised to see all the thumbs up for the heavy cream over the milk simply based on the lactose content. Lactose is not a big deal for the majority of people. If you are lactose intolerant, than of course the cream is a decent alternative. There is also a half way meshing of the two in half and half. Trade Joes sells a pure one. But if you can get cream top milk, I'd say it might be a better idea to consume that regularly vs the high fat cream. I practively lived off cream for a time. Delicious for sure, but I no longer see heavy cream as "diesel fuel". It's very dense with sat fat and I'm just not so sure we are supposed to be chugging that stuff. Just because we can burn sat fat for energy does not mean that it's an excellent idea to suddenly consider cream a food staple. I admit full guilt myself so I'm not comin down on anyone. But I think many of us have gone woefully of off course with the gorging on butter and cream.
