The fat content of milk is 30%, the fat content of semi-skimmed milk is about 15%, and the fat content of full-fat skimmed milk is as low as 0.5%. There is a kind of "thick milk" abroad, the fat content can be as high as 40% or more, and those consumers who are afraid of being fat always feel that they should choose skim milk.
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.
In addition, the reason why milk has a special flavor depends entirely on the volatile components in fat. If there is no fat and the flavor is not enough, milk tastes tasteless. If you must control fat, experts suggest that you can choose semi-skimmed milk.
Recent research shows 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, we should cultivate children's good habit of drinking whole milk.
Therefore, 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 and put it away.
