So my brother and I are having a bullshit session. The topic of milk came up. Well he says that some scientific method is used to make non fat milk, and I say they just add water. Can anyone help put this to rest?

Non-fat milk is milk but without the fat and the cream. This is why it's called non-fat milk. Oh, and I by the way, it's very good to drink if you're lactose-intolerant, like myself.

Ever see fat separate from water? (Look at a bottle of salad dressing and you'll see the oil floating on top of the spices and other ingredients.) That's because fat is less dense so it rises. Milk fat (what we know as cream) separates out the same way and when it does, they skim it off-which is why fat free milk is sometimes called skim milk. Kind of a scientific method I guess. It is more watery and tasteless than regular milk, but they do not add water to it.

They don't add water. Whole milk is put through some sort of process (sorry, I don't know the details) to remove the fat.

They don't add water... but I know they take the fat out but leave everything else.
