Skim Milk

A glass of skim milk (1 cup / 8 oz) has approximately 12 grams of sugar.

Also, labeled under the nutrition facts on the milk carton.

Conventional method of making skim milk involved removing a thick layer of fat from whole milk. However, these days a process called as centrifugation is used to separate the fat content from the milk. The milk that is obtained after removing all of its fat is called as skim milk.

let express percentages as fractions so that 1.5%=1.5/100

let express all volumes in gallons so that 50g:= 50

let x be the unknown amount of cream

You can state a linear equation for the absolute fat content as

50 (1.5/100)+x(40/100)=(50+x)(4/100)

Which gives

x(40/100-4/100)=200/100-75/100

multiply both sides by 100

x(40-4)=200-75

divide by 36

x=(200-75)/36=3.48

Thus you have to add 3.48 gallons of cream 40% to 50 gallons of low fat milk 1.5 to have a mixture with 4% fat in it. I hardly expect you can call the mixture "milk" since such a procedure is illegal in most countries.

D.

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.

The weight of a gallon of milk is only slightly greater than a gallon of water, about 3% more. A US gallon with 2% milkfat weighs about 8.4 pounds, compared to 8.6 pounds for "whole milk" and 8.35 pounds for a gallon of water.

Milk is 87 % water, thus a gallon of milk will not differ from milk much.

The 8.6 lbs/gal factor (whole milk) is correct. The weight increases as fat is removed.

By weight:

Milk : 8.6 lb/gallon

Condensed milk : 9.4 lb/gallon

Cream 8.28 lb/gallon

* The British or Imperial Gallon is defined as exactly 10 pounds of water. You can convert the above figures by using 1 Imperial Gallon = 1.201 US gallons.

It depends.

If you are on an ultra low fat diet then low fat cheese is not part of that.

Is it healthy? Yes, it's as healthy as full fat cheese - it is a good source of protein and calcium. At the very least, it's not unhealthy.

However - and the following is just personal opinion and not scientific fact - I've found that when I am dieting and can only have a small piece of low fat cheese that I don't feel like I've sated my desire for cheese. For the same amount of calories I am happier to grate half the amount of strong 'real' cheese and feel satisfied than I am to have a larger amount of 'fake cheese'. And 'real' cheese is a natural product rather than something that has been processed to contain less fat.

Skim milk does not contain gluten

No. Fat free (skim) milk does not have any added sugars. Skim milk is lower in calories and higher in calcium than 1%, 2%, or whole milk.

Mennonite Momma, here. Canned, Evaporated Milk has about a: 50% fat content. Heavy Whipping Cream has to be kept: refrigerated, & only has a fat content of: 36% - 40%.. Canned, Evaporated Milk is great for making butter!

No. Carbohydrates come from the grain food-group, not dairy products.

The points for natural Greek fat-free yogurt can vary based on the specific brand and serving size. Generally, unsweetened fat-free Greek yogurt contains about 0-1 Weight Watchers point per serving (typically 150-200 grams or around 5-7 ounces). Always check the nutritional information for the exact product you're consuming for accurate point calculation.

to skim over water means..

of course, skim milk has all the fat removed

It can be argued yes because whole milk is an emulsion of milk and cream. Tiny fat globules are suspended (but not SOLUBLE) in the water solution of the milk solids, etc that make up milk. The fat will separate on standing - the "cream rises". Making low-fat and skim milk is separating out more of the fat globules, which were not dissolved in the milk.

Skin milk is milk without the fat.

For most people who could use less fat in their diet is a good source of protein and calcium.

You can freeze this for up to 3 months. Make sure there is enough empty space in the jug for expansion when the liquid freezes. You may have to open it and pour some of the milk out for this or the jug can split open from the pressure of the expanding freezing liquid. When you thaw the milk out (you will need about 12 hours for this in the refrigerator) make sure that you shake it before use as freezing can separate the milk a little, but this does not harm the milk.

Yes, I got them at the grocers today. If your grocer doesn't have them, you can ask him/her to order them because if one person wants them, many others do but won't ask for them.

Update- as of June, 2012, it looks like Nabisco has discontinued the Hint of salt Premium Saltines, the bums!

no, milk gains you weight depending on how you use it. Right after working out you should drink milk because it has calcium and helps build muscle and stronger bones faster. Drink water to lose weight. It gives you lots of energy and decreases the amount you need to eat to be satisfied.

Skim milk is generally produced on the same line as whole milk and other milk that have to be homogenised. Even though the fat content is so low (0.5% or lower), this can still form a layer if the product is unhomogenised and left to stand. Homogenisation ensures that the fat stays distributed in the milk.

use half and half....

Skim milk has much less fat than normal milk (as you obviously know) and hence much more water concentration, and because fat cannot be frozen (because it is already a solid), the one with more water and no fat freezes much faster than the one with a higher fat concentration in it.

Fat-free milk is usually called "fat-free", but can be referred to or labeled as "skim", "low-fat", or sometimes "organic" milk (if shopping in a specialty store that sells fat-free or unaltered dairy products).
