You won’t get fat.

The Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents recommend that each person should drink 300 grams of milk or an equivalent amount of dairy products every day.

Milk is a natural food that is rich in nutrients, has suitable ingredient proportions, is easy to digest and absorb, and has high nutritional value. It mainly provides high-quality protein, calcium, vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin B2 and other nutrients.

So, except for lactose intolerance and milk allergy. Most people are suitable to drink milk. Patients with osteoporosis, pregnant women and developing children should increase their intake of milk to achieve the purpose of calcium supplementation.

However, many women, middle-aged and elderly people worry about whether drinking milk will make them fat, especially whole milk. Wu Xiaomin pointed out that weight gain depends on energy intake.

The main component of milk is water, accounting for more than 85%, protein and fat accounting for about 3%, lactose accounting for about 4%, and other nutrients, such as more trace inorganic salts and vitamins. Among these milk ingredients, fat only accounts for about 3%.

In other words, assuming that drinking 500 ml of milk per day is equivalent to eating 15 grams of fat, compared with high-fat foods such as poultry, livestock meat and nuts, milk is not a high-calorie food. It can be seen that, every day Drinking milk in moderation will not make you gain weight.

It is worth noting that vitamins A and D, which are beneficial to the human body, are dissolved in whole milk. However, skim milk (fat content less than 1%) should be the first choice for people with hyperlipidemia and those who need to control their weight.

Extended information:

The fat content of whole milk is 3.0%, the fat content of semi-skimmed milk is about 1.5%, and the fat content of full-skimmed milk is low to 0.5%. There is a kind of "thick milk" abroad whose fat content can be as high as 4.0% or more.

In fact, milk contains many vitamins, among which fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are hidden in the fat of milk. If the fat in milk is removed, these vitamins will be lost, which is detrimental to the growth and development of children.

Therefore, many countries stipulate that vitamins A and D must be added to skimmed milk. In addition, the reason why milk has a special aroma also depends on the volatile components in the fat.

If there is no fat, the flavor will be insufficient and the milk will have no taste. If you must control fat, experts suggest that you can choose semi-skimmed milk.
