Whole Milk | Semi Skimmed Milk | Skimmed Milk | Alternative Milk
One look at the dairy shelves of any supermarket, and you will be bombarded with multiple milk options. Whole milk, semi skimmed milk, skimmed milk, 1% fat milk, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk and lactose free milk.
Everybody knows about the benefits of milk can provide to the human body. Dairy milk or alternative milk is a staple in most households but what cow’s milk is the healthiest?
According to USDA, three cups of cow’s milk is required by a human body to meet the daily dairy requirement. However, since varieties are available even for cow’s milk, such as whole milk, skimmed milk, and semi-skimmed milk, it’s interesting to know which one is the healthiest.
Skimmed Milk
As per the latest research, skimmed milk may not be the healthiest choice. While it’s low in calories and fat compared to whole milk and contains a higher amount of calcium. Skimmed Milk is missing out on fat-soluble nutrients, such as Vitamin E and A.
Semi Skimmed Milk
Semi Skimmed Milk is also classed as a low-fat food because it contains a lesser amount of fat however the disadvantage is that it has lower vitamins like A and E. If you consume semi-skimmed or skimmed milk, ensure that you get fat-soluble vitamins from other food sources.
Whole MIlk
Whole milk, on the contrary, is very different from skimmed and semi-skimmed milk. It contains 3.25% milk fat. It is also known as regular milk primarily because fat doesn’t get removed from it through the alteration process. The main reason people avoid drinking whole milk is due to its saturated fat content. However whole milk helps in improving cholesterol levels and contains vitamin K, amino acids, magnesium, and calcium that can do wonders for good health without the need to top up throughout the day.
