Fat Content in Milk email this discussion to a friend?

GoGirl149 (80)2 months ago

I live in Canada, and over here in the grocery store we can buy milk with different fat content. We have 3.25% (also called homogenized), 2%, 1% and 0% (skim) Milk Fat.

I've heard that in different parts of the world the standards for Milk Fat is different. Someone once told me that in Germany they could get milk at over 4% milk fat, this is milk for drinking, it is not considered cream. Does anyone know if this is true?

When I drink a glass of milk, I like to drink skim milk. When I put milk in my coffee, I use 1%, to make it a bit creamier.

What kinds of milk do you have in your country?

I like homogenized milk but drink 2% for my diet. I only have the same milk as you.

the only 4% milk fat ive seen is in cottage cheese in the markets that breakstone sells. i myself drink skim only because i cant handle whole milk anymore, ah the downside of getting older.

In grocery stores here, we have Skim, 1%, 2%, and Whole. I do not know what the percentage is on Whole, but it is my favorite. I usually don't have to worry about fat content much, so I'll use Whole milk for everything from cereal to drinking to coffee. If I do start worrying that I'm putting on a little extra padding, I don't mind 2%.

I love a big, cold glass of milk, but I recently figured out that I'm lactose intolerant, so, sadly, now I mainly buy soymilk. I can't just drink the stuff, but it is ok for cereal or tea. If I'm really in the mood for milk, I have to take dairy digestive enzymes with it.:(

hi GoGirl I am German and never saw 4% milk in the stores here. We have 3,5% thats full fat milk, then we have 1,5%, and we have 0,3%.
Recently we have found a really good 0,3% milk which wont taste like water but like milk and we stick to that now. Its homogenized so it keeps a little longer than fresh milk.
