Skim milk / Whole milk

[Lee1975]

Other than the fat content, does skim milk have all the benefits of whole milk. I realize that there are some amino acids that only come from dairy products. I was wondering if the content of skim and whole was the same. I wasnt sure if anything was lost while making the skim milk.

Thanks for clearing this up for me.

A dramatic lost in taste.

But other then that, no, the milk fat is just all "skimmed" off (ha! PUN!).

Ok awesome, thanks. I don't really eat eggs so milk is the best way for me to get some dairy in my diet. I just wanted to make sure that I was't losing anything by making it skim. Thanks again.

Good, I just bought my first 1/2 gallon of skim milk tonight. I was using whole milk for some of my fat intake but because of the sat. fat I had to switch to skim. I noticed it really doesn't have much fat so I'll have to start adding more PB, walnuts, and almonds to my died to make up for the fat I lost.
