The only difference between whole milk and skim milk is in its fat content. Whole milk contains apprroximately 3.5 grams of fat per 100 ml. This does not mean, however, that whole milk is less healthy than skim milk, as your body needs a certain amount of dietary fat. Additionally the vitamins contained in milk can only be absorbed if taken with fat. So taking the fat away from the milk also means, as a consequence, that a substantial part of its vitamin content will not be available for your body to absorb and use. So it really depends. If you are overweight and trying to restrict your calory and/or dietary fat intake, the benefit provided by skim milk may outweigh the vitamin loss. But if you are not trying to lose weight I would strongly recommend you drink whole milk, which also has, let's face it, a much better taste!
