Whole milk has a lot more fat in it. I've never heard of 3%. I think you mean 2%. There is also 1% and skim milk, which has no fat. As a general rule, most people prefer the taste of whole milk or 2%, but if you're trying to cut out fat in your diet or lose weight, 1% or skim is better. I switched from whole to 1%, and after I got used to the taste of the lower-fat milk, I hardly notice the difference any more, even on cereal -- heck, I used to use half and half or cream on cereal and in coffee, but I have to watch cholesterol. If you like whole milk and you have no health or weight concerns, I guess you just like the taste and that's why you drink it. I agree that some foods that are low fat should also be called "low-taste"!

Ick. I drink skim or 1%.
All the same health benefits, none (or very little) of the fat.
Definitely healthier than either 3% or whole milk.
BONUS: If you don't like it watery, add some skim milk powder to your skim milk. It will thicken it up, without adding fat, plus you get extra calcium and vitamins in every glass!

That there milk has been around for a long time. At least a hundred years, maybe even longer. Anyway, I've seen that 3% stuff next to the 100% stuff. You know what? They both look the same to me. So, just buy whatever's on sale. There is no stinking difference. That 3% nonsense is just a dam marketing ploy to sell cheap milk. Americans unite! Boycott 3% milk!

Ewww! I can't stand the thought of even drinking 3%! I drink skim because I've grown up on it and think it tastes great. A lot of people who've had fattier milks growing up think it tastes really watery though. I find that with even 1% I feel like I have a slimy coating in my throat :P

Whole milk tastes way better, but the 3% is probably healthier. So it depends how worried you are about your weight.

3% is healthier, in my opinion. You asked if it's healthier not if it's watery. Personally, I like 2% not bad but doesn't taste like ...you know what I mean.

If you are over 18 you should not be drinking whole milk. You should be drinking low or non-fat milk.
We don't have 3% where I live..where are you??

Umm, you mean 2% right. Whole is creamier, but not good for you. 2% isn't much better. Skim has the least amout of fat, but is not very creamy. I usually get 1%. It is not as creamy as whole or 2%, but definitely creamier than skim, and a lot better for you than whole and 2%. Anything is better then buttermilk or goats milk!!

Whole milk is 3.5% butterfat. Anything less must be labeled as such. 2% or no fat. The difference in calories and fat per serving is minimal for all milks. The difference is marketing.

Erm... well they sell 2% here. It's far healthier as it has less fat and the same amount of calcium
If you aren't concerned about your caloric intake or your fat intake keep drinking the whole.
