"How Low
Should You Go?" Choose 1% or Skim Milk
Many
people have the misconception that 2% milk is low in fat, when in
actuality it is not low in fat. By drinking 1% or skim milk you
consume the same calcium, protein, and vitamin D as whole and 2%
milk but with out all the fat! In addition, parents should provide
their children 1% or skim milk after the age of two. By starting
early the child will hopefully develop low fat food preferences that
will lead to a lifetime of healthy eating!
