Why does low fat milk always taste so diluted?

Question

Does anyone know what's being taken out to to make it low fat?

Answer 1

because all the fat is removed and it taste like water

Answer 2

uh...fat. Fat = Flavor

Answer 3

The fat makes it flavored. When they take the fat out it loses some flavor.

Answer 4

Well, the milk fat is taken out.  That's why it's so thin and watery looking.  I only drink 2%because I cannot stand the taste of 1% or skim.  The extra calories are worth it.

Answer 5

The unhomogenized milk has it's fat rise to the top.  The fat is then "skimmed" off the top.

Regular milk has 4% fat & cholesterol

2% has 2% milk fat & cholesterol

1% has 1% & skim has no fat & no cholesterol.

That's why it tastes diluted.  If you're not used to it mix low fat with higher fat till you get accustomed to taste.

All milk contains same amount of calcium & Vit D.
