Skimmed milk:The low fat content in skimmed milk makes it a popular choice today. However, fat content is not the only measure to evaluate how healthy milk is. Skimmed milk contains less than 0.5% fat, while whole milk contains around 4.5% of fat. Only foods containing more than 20% of fat are considered high-fat foods.
The fat in whole milk contains vitamins A, D, E and K, which help in strengthening immunity, neutralising effects of damaging free radicals and keeping bones healthy. Skimmed milk available in Indian markets contains only vitamins A and D as additives. Besides, it does not contain forms of vitamin B, like niacin, riboflavin, thiamine and folic acid.
