My too. Are you Mrs Suplex?EastEnder said:I only ever drink skimmed.
And I don't use butter or margarine....!
Shocking.

No need to deride my preferences tarannau!!! I like my milk odorless and tasteless... if u were force fed fresh cow's milk as a child you probably would too!

I was. I've got over the trauma. And thankfully - unlike my shitty school - I've got a fridge to keep my milk in these days, guaranteeing no nasty warm milk.
But skimmed's a little pointless, like an alcohol and taste free beer. It even contains so much less of the fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamins A and E, that some companies seek to 'fortify' skimmed milk to bring it up to some kind of nutritional value.
It's not really milky. It's not really that nutritious, it doesn't give hot drinks that cream-like sheen. Where's the fun in that eh - a few dashes of white food colouring in your cuppa would taste much the same...

I'm not sure what's particularly true anymore. That's the first link that I've seen claim that they're the same in nutritional content - both the Mirror, Telegraph and others all claim massively lower nutritional content - for example see http://www.mirror.co.uk/sexandhealth/slimmingandhealth/tm_objectid=16647589&method=full&siteid=94762&headline=50-mind-blowing-food-facts-name_page.html
I am certain, however, that semi skimmed milk doesn't taste of too much...

I always used to get quite turned off by the little grease spots floating around on top of my coffee when my parents had full fat, so really would rather not drink that stuff nowadays, so get skimmed whenever I've got to get some milk.
I'd rather have soy though

They've also got a humongous nutritional analysis thingy that shows quite unambiguously that there's bugger all difference between full-fat/semi-skimmed/skimmed, apart from the fat content......
Or maybe you'd prefer to trust that renowned bastion of veracity, the Mirror....

This of course true, in ye-olden day's fat content in milk did vary. However, that wasn't between 4% and 1%, the lowest is about 4% and goes much higher so don't try and sell me skimmed milk as in some way more natural than whole milk even if modern food processing may reduce the difference to a wafer.oicur0t said:

'Ere. I was all about to believe you, but then I actaully checked that blinking nutritional analysis pdf on the milk website and it clearly shows that semi-skimmed has only half the Vitamin E than full fat has, skimmed milk only having trace quantities of that valuable vitamin.
I never ever claimed that Calcium was lower in skimmed milk than full fat, only that it contained far less 'fat-soluble nutrients, such as vitamins A and E' - check my posts above if you don't believe me.
I don't know; that's the other problem with skimmed milk. Not fit with not tasting of very much at all, the vitamin depleted contents can make you unable to properly concentrate on facts and research...

Vitamin E is important, and can be found in a wide variety of food sources, however both zinc & phosphorus are essential for the body to function properly - and they're both more abundant in skimmed milk than in either semi-skimmed or whole.tarannau said:
I'm prepared to accept a suitably contrite, written apology.
What. So skimmed milk has an eighth of the vitamin E and less than an eight of the vitamin A of full fat milk and you want to start talking about zinc and potassium as a diversion technique. And this after you getting the getting the wrong end of the stick and waffling on about calcium, a point of no contention, first too as well.
<wags finger in condescending manner>
Far be it from me to poo-poo your latest discovery, but skimmed milk only contains a whole mg more zinc, only 25% more than full fat, and only a comparatively minor boost of potassium. An apology from me will certainly not be forthcoming.
Most importantly it still tastes of nothing...
