Experts recommend women eat no more than 20g of saturated fat in a day and men no more than 30g
1) "higher" is a relative term, Also whilst this may apply to RABBITS there isn't any evidence that this has any relevance to humans.
(There is evidence that plant derived polyunsaturated fats, even in cis configuration, are immuno-supressive and carcenogenic.)
2) It would depend on how much milk someone was drinking in the first place. The more "skimmed" milk is the higher it's sugar content is. Which is far more likely to be an issue for diabetics.
3) A lot of "expert" advice on diet turns out to have no actual science to support it. (Even that which dosn't require rewriting biology or chemistry.)
There is the maxim that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.
Claiming that foods which have been eaten since prehistoric times are somehow causing modern diseases is just such a claim. As is the claim that things made in factories which even our recent ancestors wouldn't even recognise as "food" are "healthy".
The whole "fat phobia" started in the 1970's (in the USA and spread from there). The result being diets which are 60-70% glucose. Which, even if they don't play a part in causing diabetes, make no sense at all for diabetics to eat...
