The fat content of whole milk is 30%, semi-skimmed milk is about 15%, and the fat content of whole skimmed milk is as low as 0.5%. There is a kind of "concentrated milk" abroad, and its fat content can be as high as 4.0%. Consumers who are afraid of being fat always feel that they should choose skim milk.
Vitamin a is hidden in milk fat.
In fact, milk contains many vitamins, among which fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are all hidden in the fat of milk. If the fat in milk is removed, these vitamins will be lost, which is not good for children's growth and development. Therefore, many countries stipulate that extra vitamins A and D must be added to skim milk.
All the flavors in milk come from fat.
In addition, experts pointed out that the reason why milk has a special flavor depends entirely on the volatile components in fat. If there is no fat, the fragrance will be insufficient and the milk will taste tasteless. If you must control fat, then experts suggest that you can choose semi-skimmed milk.
Drinking more whole milk is not easy to get cancer.
Recent studies have proved that milk fat is rich in anti-cancer substance CLA, so people who drink more whole milk are not easy to get cancer. CLA can inhibit a variety of cancer cells and block carcinogens from playing a role in the body, which is particularly effective in preventing breast cancer.
The study also found that if CLA is ingested from infancy, it can protect life; However, if CLA is ingested after exposure to carcinogens, it needs to be supplemented continuously for life to prevent cancer. Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate children's good habit of drinking whole milk.
It is suggested here that if you choose milk for the elderly, you may wish to choose semi-skimmed milk; If you choose milk for your child, you must choose whole milk.
