What Type of Milk do You Perfer??

When it comes to choosing milk, there are 4 basic types that you can pick from. There is whole milk, skim milk, 1% milk, and 2% milk. What is the difference between these types of milk??

Whole milk - This is milk in which no constituent (such as fat) has been removed. Whole milk is 3.7% milk. It contains 155 to 160 calories and 9 grams of fat.

1% milk - This milk contains 88 to 105 calories and has 0.4 to 2.4 grams of fat.

2% milk - This milk contains125 calories and has 4.7 grams of fat.

Skim milk - Skim milk has an extremely low fat percentage. This is a milk that has been allowed to sit long enough for the fat to rise to the top, and then the fat is "skimmed" off the top. What is left is what we know as skim milk.

The fat can be added back to the skim milk and this would increase the fat and the calories that the milk contains. This is how the low fat 1% and 2% milk is made.

My favorite kind of milk is 1%. Growing up that is all I drank. I will basically drink any type of milk except whole milk. I have had whole milk once and I did not like it at all. What is your favorite type of milk??
