Milk is very often used in cooking.

This product is one of the ingredients in such popular dishes as omelettes, pancakes and mashed potatoes.

In addition, the white drink can be consumed “just like that”.

But what fat content of milk is better to choose?

Some are sure: the fatter the product, the tastier it is. Other gourmets do not really like milk, distinguished by its high fat content: they prefer to buy low-fat or medium-fat drinks.

But is it right to rely only on your taste preferences? Of course not! No less important is how healthy the product is.

But the benefits of milk depend, among other things, on its fat content.

What fat content of milk is healthier?

The winners were two product categories at once: milk with a fat content of 2.6-3.5 percent, as well as a drink with a fat content exceeding 3.5 percent.

Milk with medium and high fat content brings more benefits and taste to the body, - doctor Evgeniya Parshina told aif.by.

At the same time, the specialist emphasized that one must not forget that fatty milk has a higher cholesterol content.

Of course, the product is not suitable for those who have an intolerance to such a drink.

Caution should also be exercised by people who are on a diet or have problems with the heart and blood vessels.

Such gourmets are recommended to drink medium-fat milk. However, this does not mean that a low-fat product will not be useful for them: you can drink it too.
