(I should know this......)
Answers: Did you know milk makes you fat!?!? I do. I learned the hard way... *sniff*... Whole milk hase 100% fat! Whole milk 49% of the calories are from fat.
"2%" milk 35% of the calories are from fat. Whole milk is 3.25% fat. 3 - 4% Percentage of fat in whole milk:
Why choose 1 or 2 percent milk when whole milk is only 3.7 percent fat? Isn’t that too small a difference to worry about?
Those numbers can be deceiving. The percentage-of-fat figures refer to how much of the weight of the milk comes from fat.
To see the impact of your milk choice from another perspective, look at the difference in calorie content and the actual amount of fat in each type of milk. The recommended choices for most adults, nonfat (skim) and 1 percent (low-fat) milk, contain 86 to 105 calories in each eight-ounce glass, and 0.4 to 2.4 grams of fat.
Two-percent milk, which contains about 120 to 125 calories and 4.7 grams of fat in the same portion, is appropriate for people with higher calorie needs and who don’t eat a lot of high-fat foods (especially children).
Whole milk is appropriate for toddlers and for people who are having trouble getting all the fat and calories they need. But at 155 to 160 calories and almost 9 grams of fat per glass, it’s not the best choice for most adults, especially those who consume more fat and calories than they need.
hope this helps. Whole milk is 3.5% milkfat. It depends on the country, in the US it varies from 3-3.25-3.5 %, in Canada we refer to it as Homogenized and it is 3.25%, in the UK whole milk can be up to 4%, when I worked in Singapore it was 5 or 6%.
In Jamaica we used more tinned milk, I was chef and even had evaporated Goats Milk in Alberta Canada, that is a different story altogether.
