Myth of the Month:

Whole Milk Has More Vitamins and Minerals Than Other Milks

Low fat milk is a healthy choice for you and your family. Skim milk, 1 percent milk, 2 percent milk and whole milk all have the same amount of protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals. Vit-amin D is added to all of them. The amount of fat is the only difference between them, and it’s a big difference. Half the calories in whole milk come from fat and one-third of the calories in 2 percent milk come from fat.

STEP ONE: Switch between whole and 2%

STEP TWO: Stick with 2% if you like or switch between 2% and 1%.

STEP THREE: Stick with 1% or transition between 1% and Fat free.
