Skim milk or regular?

Question

whats the difference between skim and regular milk? which is better for you and why?

Answer 1

I have drank skim milk all my life. I think skim milk is way better to drink..........but in cereal i would definetely pick regular. If you are worried about gaining weight then definetely stick to skim.

Answer 2

Full fat milk not only tasted better, but it's better for you!

Swedish researchers found that women who drank one serving of whole milk per day put on less weight than those who didn't.

Funny, with this low fat craze nowadays, we're seeing more obese people and heard disease than ever before.  Eating fat does not make you fat!

I also agree with an answer above mine, drink RAW milk from grass fed cows.  It is MUCH better for you!

Answer 3

regular milk, it taste better on cereal.

Answer 4

I went from whole milk to 2% to 1% to skim.If you gradually make the transition you won't tell that skim seems watery.

Answer 5

Skimmed milk has less fat.

Obviously switching to skimmed milk would be another way of cutting down on fat in your diet if you are trying to lose weight. I drink skimmed. Have been for about two years, at first i didn't like it so much, but i'm so used to it now its normal to me.

Answer 6

skim milk has 2% milk fat, whole milk has all of the milk fat. if you're trying to watch your weight, skim milk would be the way to go.

Answer 7

skim

fat clogs up arteries - eventually leads to heart disease

Answer 8

Drink 1 percent or 2 percent milk if you are not sure then.

Answer 9

Answer 11

2 percent is best, the other is watered down.

Answer 13

Skim, but if you like the rich taste of milk try 2%, and it's better for you because less fat going in your mouth means less fat storing on your butt.

Answer 14

skim milk doesn't have all the vitamins and stuff that u really need that's in regular milk!....so regular milk like vitamin D or like 2% is really good for u....if ur absolutley desperate to loose like tons of pounds...then I guess skim milk is for you...but I would just stay away from it!  lol..Hope I helped!♥

Answer 15

In skim milk, the fat is removed. So it's healthier than regular milk.

Answer 16

well, skim has less fat, but i don't know if that would make it "better" for you. I drink it only and water.

Answer 17

oh, duh! definately regular! it tastes so much better and its natural

Answer 18

actually and i dont like sayin it but skim milk is better due to the fat content.However i was raised in the country and i like whole milk  but learning to drink skim is not a bad deal either just takes a little gettin use too and the taste is not so much different

Answer 19

Skim is better, it doesn't have a lot of fat. And it tastes better..

Really the only difference is that reg. milk is more creamy and thick and a bit more fattening, while skim milk doesn't have so much consistency.

:D <3

Answer 20

For adults its less fat and calories, Kids need regular milk with fat for their brain to develop and be smart!  Until the age of 2 at least!

Answer 21

neither are good for you because they full of chemicals, and pasteurized... buy raw cows milk!!!

Answer 22

Skim milk has no or almost no butterfat content (0 to 0.5%) whereas whole milk has 3.25% butterfat content.  In order to get a certain percentage of butterfat content, all of the fat is removed from the milk, and then the desired percentage is put back in.  Check out Wikipedia if you want to know more.

On a personal note, i call skim milk "white water" because of the lack of taste.  2% or 1% is a good compromise.  :)

Answer 23

Skim is way better because it has no fat and the nutritional content is much better. There's much less sodium (salt), sugar etc. If you just compare the nutrition facts on the cartons, you'll see. Regular milk is much thicker than skim because of the high fat content. I prefer the taste of skim but if you're not used to it, it tastes watered down. Skim also helps you grow taller over regular.

Answer 24

regualr has more fat...skim no fat. i prefer skim. to me, it all tastes the same!
