Low Fat vs. Full Cream Milk

What's the difference between low fat and full cream milk. Which should you feed your child with?

Low fat milk (commonly recommended for adults) has about 90 to 100 calories in each glass, with 0.5 to 2.5 g of fat content.

Whole milk is appropriate for toddlers. But because it has about 150 calories and almost 9 grams of fat per glass, adults should avoid it or risk consuming more calories and fat than required. Remember, milk contains saturated fat, which when taken in large quantities, can increase your risk of heart disease and perhaps cancer.

A good practice is to read the labels, to ensure that you're not taking more than the daily recommended dosage of calories and fat, counting the other stuff that you eat as well!
