KhunBENQ Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 (edited) There is plenty of "low fat" milk on offer. But it's difficult to find other descriptions than "0%". Tons of 0%. Can't find how much fat this one has. Just says "low fat formula". It's amazing how difficult it is to find such basic info.

KhunLA Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 0% and 2% ... haven't notice, or looked for 1% You have the same amount of sugar, in all milk, if that's a concern: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If flavored, or has 'added' sugar. That's what labels are for. Would think anyone looking for 0 - low fat milk would actually read them. IF looking for cream, half-half, 'barista cream/milk' (my favorite label), then you really need to read the label, as whole milk sometimes has more fat content. Real cream & H/H will have, but the other krap ... read the labels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calories I don't mind, but prefer not to have 25 ish % of my saturated fat for the day in 1 small serving of milk. Doesn't leave much room for my other 'vices'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DudleySquat Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Was this a trick question? Walk into a 7/11 to buy a kilo of it. Do you never leave the house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few decades ago, or should I say many decades ago, the big "thing" was about giving up items rich in dairy fat (as well as other fats), and that included milk, so I gave that up and used low fat milk, and have used it ever since, and now whenever anybody makes me a cup of tea with the "normal/full fat" milk, it tastes too creamy for me – – so I've stuck with the low-fat stuff and it suits my tastes now.
