Margarine came into play and advertisers used the no fat as a health benefit. Plus, fat is seen as evil, ever since WWII, when butter shortages started to happen. If I want to lose weight, I cut out carbs, I’ll stop eating carb loaded snacks and soda. The nutritional value is not as great as whole, and the percentage difference is not much. If you’re looking to cut back on fat, switching to 2% won’t help much. Whole milk fat:10 grams, sodium:89mg, Carbs:12g, Fiber: 0g, sugars:11g, protein: 9g, 2% milk contains about 124 carbs a cup, with 9.8 grams of fat, and Calories: 122įat: 4.8g Sodium: 115mg Carbohydrates: 12g Fiber: 0g Sugars: 12g Protein: 8g Not much! Really, the difference is very little. When you remove the fat, you are taking what makes that milk milk. The percentage difference between the two milks really is flavor and nutritional. Whole milk is creamier, a little thicker, more natural. 2% homogenized milk feels and tastes like watered down milk. I see it as, if you like the taste of milk, why skip out on that flavor? Some people may not like the 3.25% milkfat.

Homogenization also poses certain health risks, since the process blasts the fat into such tiny particles, which pass through your digestive system and goes straight to your blood stream. We don’t homogenize, we try to keep milk as close to it’s natural state as possible. Some milk brands take the cream and homogenize, so the fat is imperceptible. Whole milk means it has 3.5%, generally speaking. Excess fat is turned into butter or cream. The dairy processor skims the fat off the top of the vat, and adds it back in, after calculating the weight of fat needed. Get ready, because I may shock your world with some of the facts below.Ģ% means that the entire weight of the milk contains 2% milkfat. I won’t ask you to open your mind to switch political parties or religions, I just want you to hear me out on why 2% milk may not be the best option on the shelves. But is it really the healthier and tastier choice? But maybe, just maybe, old time traditions and myths have haunted the milk consuming community. 2% milk sounds like a healthy option right? It means you’re cutting back on the fat.
