What kind of milk is best?

I think 1,5% is pretty good.I evaluate its taste always, and as u said it is too watery if it is lower fat.I doubt if there really is a benefit if someone drinks the higher fat milks.Maybe they have endured less homogenization? Thus it could be healthier, i am not sure though.

It is not a matter of just a percentage. The healthiest milk to drink is organic. The reason why is that to produce large quantities of milk, cows are given all sorts of antibiotics and hormones. These hormones are in the milk and they make us heavier. Organic milk does not have those chemicals as cows are required to be raised with no alterations. If a cow must have an antibiotic because it comes down with an illness, they are to not use that cow's milk until a certain period of time (which is long) after the cow recovers and is off the antibiotics for them to fully cycle out of the system. Horizon and other brands are available at natural food stores and now places like Walmart too. Some people who are lactose intolerent where milk and cream bother them but they can eat some sharp cheeses discover that they can drink organic milk as they were not actually allergic to the lactose but the chemicals. The very best milk of all is the old fashioned cream on the top milk that is maybe non-homogenized. It is not really available everywhere just because they can't ship it long distances as it will spoil, but if you are in an area with an organic/sustainable farm that sells such goods, they may supply it to local stores or you can buy it direct At our house we drink anything from skim to whole depending on what the recipe calls for. Mostly 2% though. You may find that organic just tastes better too. I am not a radical person about organics. But I am pragmatic. Some foods it really doesn't make a difference and I am not going to spend the extra money, but some foods it does, such as dairy, and root vegetables. I encourage you to try it - it made a difference for us and we were able to lose some weight because the dairy products weren't affecting our hormones.
