Those results doesn’t make much sense to me, given a) the nonlinearity (milk abstainers having shorter telomeres), b) all the evidence showing beneficial effects from milk fat c) the fact that milk isn’t even the most significant contributor to total milk fat intake (butter and cheese are). I’d put my bet on risidual confounding.

The two events are not mutually exclusive. Perhaps a handful of nuts along with low fat milk would be a better option.
Interesting that this was about adults. I saw this article about children and how full fat milk protected them from developing obesity and diabetes.
