Anyone for a glass of milk? Yeah...I know, not funny, but WITTY (I think)*chuckles*
I was reading an article yesterday sent to me by the "Clear Advisor" (lol), and I ran across some starteling information about MILK. I know you're thinking, "Milk? Here we go again". It seems like every year there is a study that suggests cow's milk is bad, then another that suggests that it's good for you and helps in weight loss. The battle is ongoing...I mean, we're talking about the same people who had to get a Supreme Court ruling on whether a tomato is a fruit or veggie (so sorry I missed that debate *snaps*), so....
Anywho, I'm not sure if it's good or bad for you, but I'm trying to see the perks of drinking it, check out this information I received from WebMD yesterday in an article strongly entitled "FOODS THAT CAN WRECK YOUR DIET"...sounds DEVASTATING, right? :
Whole Milk (3.25%) = 150 cal., 8g fat, 5g sat. fat
Reduced-fat (2%) = 130 cal., 5g fat, 3g sat. fat
Skim (nonfat) = 80 cal., 0g fat, 0g sat. fat
If you'll note...per serving, reduced fat milk has more than 1/2 the saturated fat of whole milk per serving, so you're really only cutting it down my 2 grams of saturated fat when drinking it...may not be worth it when you consider taste. So now, I'm considering doing a mix of skim and reduced fat until I actually like skim...that's a battle in and of itself. May end of up going soy (and broke :-( all at the same time).
