Skim
Milk vs Whole Milk
Skim milk This is usually good for weight loss or for people with weak cardiovascular health. The American Association of Pediatrics recommends skim milk for kids over two, but a recent study has shown that children who drink skim milk tended to be heavier than those who drank whole milk.
Nutrition
Calories: One cup of whole milk has close to 150 calories
while one cup of skim milk contains about 90 calories. Removal of fat content
from milk has a direct impact on the calorie count.
Calcium: Milk is a great source of calcium; whether it's
whole milk or skim milk, one cup provides 25-35% of one's daily calcium
requirement.
Fats: One cup of whole milk has 8g (grams) fat, 5g
of which is saturated fat, which is considered risky for cardiovascular health,
especially if saturated fat intake from other foods consumed during the day is
high. It is important to note that the body needs some saturated fat.
Cholesterol:
Much like fat, skim milk has
lower cholesterol content than whole milk. One cup of whole milk contains about
24mg of cholesterol, while a similar sized serving of skim milk only has 5mg
cholesterol.
