It depends who you are. If you are not giving your infant (6 months to 2 years) breast or follow-on milk they need the calories that whole milk provides. After that it is really a matter of personal preference unless there is a necessity for fat/calorie reduction, and that goes for adults as well as children.
skim milk is healthier but it doesnt taste as good as 2 percent
2% milk is definitely better for kids (whole milk is even better for younger kids). 2% milk is more healthful in general, because it undergoes less processing. However, if you are worried about too much fat in your diet, skim milk may be a better choice. Keep in mind when people drink skim milk, they tend to (but not always) drink more of it though, in which case they are not consuming fewer calories. As for which has a better flavor, that is a matter of personal taste. I grew up drinking 1%, so that tastes the best to me.
Skim Milk is healthier AND tastes better! It has slightly MORE nutrients than 2% (the reason being, it is less dense and has less fat, thus having more room for vitamins). As far as people drinking more skim than 2% this consuming more calories, skim milk is good calories so it doesn't matter unless you are trying to lose weight, but you don't need all the fat and cholesterol 2% has. You can have excess fat while being thin in appearance or have a good level of fat while looking a bit big, it's all about what you eat. And I grew up on 2% but heard how much healthier skim was (when I was 19) and heard if you like the taste of 2% better just mix them together until you switch to skim, then you'll never want 2% again. Well I did this. 1 week. one day mixed about 80% 2% with 20% skim. The next day more skim less 2%. Day 3 was like 50/50. by the end of the week I was drinking straight skim. drink only skim for a week. The next week I tried a glass of 2% and it was GROSS tasted like half and half.
Fat free has less calories and fat than 2% does. If you are looking to reduce calories or fat then this is the way to go. If it's for a toddler, or you are looking to maintain or gain weight, your body may need the extra fat and calories (it isn't a tonne more).
It is not a question of which is healthiest or least healthiest but a question of which one is right for you.
Children and pregnant or lactating mothers need whole milk. Most people should drink 2% unless there are concerns about excessive calore consumption. These people should drink low fat or even better Soy Milk. Soy Milk is also recommended for those with glutton or vitamin D issues.
2% milk has 2% milk fat - about 40% less than whole milk. "Fat free" milk as no more than 1/2% milk fat.h
Technically, yes. The volume taken up by fat is removed and there will therefore be a proportional, albeit very slight, increase in the sugar content per unit volume.
Skim milk = nonfat milk.
yes it spoils alot faster because it has more ingredients
Skim Milk is better because whole milk has the fat in it. Skim Milk has no fat because they took it out.
Whole milk is NOT usually cheaper than skim milk. Skim milk is usually cheaper, because the milkfat that is "skimmed" of the milk has value and can be sold on its own.
No it is not healthier than cows milk because it is processed.
yes rice milk is healthier xx
False
when raw milk is separated to cream and skim most of the ash is left in the skim. To make make whole milk they add the cream back into the skim lowering the concentration of ash. Most ash test are done with a standard amount, so do to the above statement whole milk has less ash per gram than skim.
Skim is the healthiest milk. It is the lowest in calories and has a higher calcium content than whole or low-fat milks. As an extra benefit, it's also the cheapest.
This depends on the country and the specific legislation. Skim (or fat free) milk is milk with less than 0.5% milk fat. In some countries, low fat (or semi-skim) milk has milkfat between 0.5 and 1.5%. In other countries, low fat is between 1.5 and 2.5%.
The lactose content in cow's milk varies by the breed of cow. It can vary from between 3.8 and 5.3 percent and skim milk has a higher content of lactose than whole milk.
Yes
