What is the difference between skim and whole milk?

Answer 1

skim is fat free, while whole milk has had no fat removed

Answer 2

The fat has been removed from skim milk- a difference of 8g fat and 70 calories per 8 ounces.
Sorry-milk man is wrong-skim milk is fat free-1% and 2% are just considered low fat.

Answer 3

total milk has so lots greater fat than Skim milk. It tastes quite thick. Skim milk is in simple terms water downed total milk. i admire skim milk with truffles ( i assume the truffles defeat the purpose of eating skim milk)!!

Answer 4

Skim milk has almost no fat in it. It's almost like it's watered down so to say. My mom would do that with 2% milk, add some ice cubes and let them melt. Whole milk has the most fat in it, and it actually tastes/feels thicker as well. I prefer 1%...

Answer 5

put simply, skim milk has less fat than whole milk. there are 4 milk types in the marketplace each with varying degrees of fat: whole milk (4%), reduced fat milk (2%), skim milk (1%), and fat free milk (0%).

Answer 6

whole milk is good for kids but bad for adults b/c of the amount of fat and kids need fat

Answer 7

The fat has been skimmed off the top.
