The easy answer is, No, 2% milk is NOT fattening. 2% milk is 98% fat free. Whole milk is only 3 to 3.5% fat (depending on brand), or 96.5 to 97% fat free.

If you were to buy anything else at the grocery store and it was labeled 97% fat free, you'd know it was very low in fat. Milk is no different.

An avocado is 14% fat.

Almonds are 49% fat.

Hot Dogs are 25% fat.

Peanut Butter is 25% fat.

If you're looking to reduce your fat intake, you should look somewhere else besides milk. You have to drink nearly a quart of whole milk (4 cups) to get an ounce of fat.

No, you need at least around 30% cream (milkfat), to be able to whip it. This usually means you need at least a light whipping cream, although most will prefer heavy whipping cream, as it's more reliable and stable. It is possible for certain light creams (not whipping cream) to have enough fat to whip, but they usually fall in at around 20% fat.

The percentage is a reference to the fat content of the milk. Whole milk contains usually between 3.25% and 4.0% fat, where as 2% obviously contains 2% fat. Also, in the US 2% milk generally will have more Vitamin A than whole milk. This is because during the fat reduction process, a lot of vitamin A is lost, so it is artificially added back into the milk.

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.

The percent refers to the percent milkfat. So 2% milk is two percent milk fat and 1 percent milk is 1 percent milkfat. So there's a difference of 1 percent milkfat between the two. That might not sound like a huge difference, but it really is. Consuming 3 cups of 2% milk a day to get your RDA of calcium will mean you've already consumed 50% of your recommended saturated fat! Your best option is actually skim milk. It might take some getting used to, but it's better for your health in the long-run.

By volume yes. They take out the fat to make skimmer milk. Fat has weight and when removed from the milk... it weighs less. * All milk in the Unites States is "Vitamin D" fortified. Whole milk is the one with the most cream, at 3.5% milkfat, and therefore the most fat. However, reduced-fat (2%), light or lowfat (1%), and fat-free milk must all have Vitamin A and Vitamin D added.

It means that the amount of butterfat in that milk, or milk product is 1% of the total volume of the product. It qualifies as "low fat". As it comes from the cow - depending on the breed of cow - milk is 4% to 5% butterfat.
