If you like to drink milk, skimmed milk is good for your health!

Hi Sreekala nice information about skimmed Milk but trust me people at our side prefer to drink milk with L Thick Layer of Balai(cream) on it,. and mothers prefer to give WHOLE milk to their growing kids. Sure Skimmed milk is good for people who are on dieting or have cholestrol level problem As far as i am concerned i dont drink milk so its Ok for me Take care

I try to drink raw milk i think that it is the best out their for our health, it has not been processed in any way. When the milk is pasteurized, and homogenized, it kills most of the vitiams in it. and i think that the taste is much better. I believe that the less something is processed the better that it is for you.

i love to have milk(as i am slightly on the thinner side,all force me to have milk)and my sons staple diet is mik(hes two years)and my daughter(6)who is a bit underweight also has milk.

we drink 2% milk because every one in our house is allergic to whole milk. Is 2% as good for you as skim?? it does have less fat. should i switch to skim??

I have been drinking skimmed milk for nearly 40 years and regular milk doesn't taste good to me. I don't drink as much as I used to, in fact I have to remind myself to drink a glass but I know it's very good for me!

I went from whole milk to 2% to 1% milk that's as low as I can go. I tried skim milk but it's just to watery.

Hi! Sree! I take milk regularly and I try to take the milk, once its fat contents have been removed. I agree with you that skimmed milk is an excellent source of calcium and it gets digested easily and it serves the purpose to our body, even without fats. I think when kids starts growing up, they can be served skimmed milk to remain fit and healthy. What about you? Do you go for skimmed milk? Have a great day!

Hi Sreekala! I am a milk drinker, lol. I have tried skimmed milk and to be honest I didn't like the taste of it and I'm not sure what it is! I'm also used to drink full cream milk, but my Husband prefer to have skimmed, so now I am taking half cream and may be in time I will start to like skim milk. Thanks for sharing the benefits in drinking skimmed milk.

Hi Sreekala As an adult, it would be best if we all can take calcium, protein or any nutrition from it origanal source that free from animal source. As we all know animal source contain a very high cholesterol. So i suggest we all take high quality protein from soy which is low in fat and contains no cholesterol. I'll take shaklee energizing soy protein. Keep Healty :)

I can see that the information you are passing on is very useful. The problem is I don't like skimmed milk; it has to be nice, creamy whole milk! I don't have a cholesterol problem and I do drink milk but it has to be whole! is that bad?

Hello sree.......when it comes to milk we get here,the less that is said about it the better.When we were small we had cows in our home and we got good quality milk.But now the milk we get is of poor and sub standarad quality,and the price is very high too....The most popular brand here is MILMA,but the ordinary mik we get is very much dilute and make sub standard coffee or tea.And they also provide skimmed milk which is costlier(I wonder how or why)....Any way I dont drink milk as such and use it only with my coffe or tea or in making curd.

I agree that a majority of adults might benefit from drinking skim milk. However about a third or more of some populations are lactose intolerant and do not digest the milk sugar properly from lack of an enzyme that is lost from being a child. This is a natural process, however some of us do not lose the ability to digest milk so are able to ingest it throughout adulthood. Alternative calcium intake if carefully maintained will replace milk as a calcium source, such as soy milk and calcium rich vegetables. Most studies show a benefit using skim milk, but not full fat milk. There is still a lot of fat left in the 2% but it is a reduction. The usual recommendation is what you stated, adults should drink skim milk if they are able for the calcium and other nutrients available in skim milk.

yes. skimmed milk is really good for the health, i agree. but i feel it does not taste like the toned milk...does it? i havent tried it yet...

I respectfully disagree. I think the protein in cow's milk is very carcinogenic. Plus any calcium benefits are negated by the milk protein which results in calcium secretion by our bodies. The nations with the highest consumption of cows milk also have the highest rates of osteoporosis. If I were going to drink animal milk, it would be raw goats milk, but I don't think any milk consumption is needed. Raw almond milk is a much better choice if you need "milk". Commercial pasteurized cow's milk is simply not healthy for humans.

i drink milk but i dont really like the taste of skim milk. if i am at someone house and that is all they had well i would drink it. e.g. that is all my sister has at her house

When I consume milk which isn't often it is usually skim or 2% milk. I rarely drink whole milk. I have an issue with being lactose intolerant and to much makes me deathly ill. So I keep my milk and dairy intake to a minimum.

I am glad to hear of this! I am a usual skim milk drinker. So, adding this type of milk to my diet will be a piece of cake! I love to have a cold glass of skim milk twice a day. But when it is time to eat my cereal, then I will use 2% milk.. It tatses so much better this way. If I try to use skim milk in my cereal, it will taste very weak and nasty. I also love 1% milk as well.

Now that I've been drinking skim milk for over 30 years there is no way I can drink whole milk again. Its just too much for me. Occasionally I'll drink 2 percent when my guy shops, but if I'm shopping I'm picking up skim milk.

Hi, Skimmed milk as U know is low-content-fat(even NO-FAT) milk.Nutritional value wise it is having the same value with whole milk.So if U r health concious,love milk but want to avoid fat--skimmed milk is the right choice. =Lahiri,Kolkata,India.

Hi, I don't drink a lot of milk but I do use it for cooking and baking. What I use is whole, organic milk and raw is even better. Why take something that is whole, natural and good for you, strip everything out and then try and put it back. The human body needs fat and cholesterol in moderation. It also needs Vit. D but everyone should get that from the sun, 15-30 minutes every day in early morning or early evening. I did find this article that helped with what the percentages on milk really mean. http://www.healthiertalk.com/2-milk-exposed-0118
