A member asked:
Why is 2% milk healthier than whole milk if its the same? i grew up on whole milk and still drink it now during pregnancy.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat content : In 2% milk is half of that of whole milk, that is the reason it is healthier, you don't need the extra fat and you still get the protein and calcium. Even better if you drink 1% or skim milk. Take care!
