Many health organizations claim that saturated fat is harmful to health, particularly heart health. Because milk contains saturated fat, dairy companies often sell "reduced fat" milk, or "2%" milk (milk is normally more than 2% fat). The story goes that lower fat milk is healthier. However, if you do research, a great many studies actually show that humans require dietary saturated fats for optimal health, in which case whole milk is healthier than 2%. I'm personally of the latter opinion.
30 quarts of 2 percent 15 quarts of 5 percent
1 cup of 2% milk has about 5 grams of fat on average.
Whole Milk
2 percent milk
My grandchild is 2 years old; suffers from allergies. Does the 1% milk contain the needed nutrients for his age?

No
Do you mean 2% milk? There is a difference between 2% and whole milk. 2% contains 2% fat, and whole milk contains about 3.5 to 4% milk.
x * .62 = 2x = 3.225%
About 40 g of fat is in 2L of 2% milk.
Skim milk is more dilute than 2 percent milk because it contains little to no fat, resulting in a lower overall concentration of solids and nutrients. In contrast, 2 percent milk has a higher fat content, which contributes to a creamier texture and a richer flavor. The difference in fat content affects the viscosity and mouthfeel of the milk, making skim milk less dense than its 2 percent counterpart.
