Is skim milk or pure milk better

Skimmed milk and pure milk each have their own advantages, and the choice should be based on individual needs. Skimmed milk is suitable for people who control their fat intake, while pure milk is more suitable for those who need comprehensive nutritional supplements. Defatted milk removes most of its fat during processing and has low calories, making it suitable for weight loss, hyperlipidemia, or those who need to strictly control their fat intake. It retains the high-quality protein and calcium in milk, but reduces the content of fat soluble vitamins. Pure milk retains natural fat components, has a richer taste, and can provide more complete nutrition, including fat soluble nutrients such as vitamin A and vitamin D. It is suitable for children, pregnant women, and people who need to gain weight. The fat content of pure milk may pose health risks to some populations, and long-term excessive consumption may increase cardiovascular burden. Skimmed milk, due to its lack of fat, may affect the absorption efficiency of some nutrients and result in weaker satiety. There is not much difference in calcium and protein content between the two, but the fat structure of pure milk helps to delay gastric emptying time and is more suitable as a daily energy supplement source.

It is recommended to choose the type of milk based on one's own health condition and nutritional needs. The general healthy population can alternate between drinking two types of milk, which can control fat intake and obtain comprehensive nutrition. When drinking, be careful to avoid fasting, and pairing with grains or nuts can help absorb nutrients. Lactose intolerant individuals can choose low lactose products or yogurt as substitutes, and the daily consumption should be controlled at around 300 milliliters.
