Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Only now in the Era of DEAD "Standardized Milk" does Skim mean NONFAT back "In the Good Old Days" of glass bottles .... Skim was short for skimmed and only meant the top cream was removed leaving a somewhat lower fat content but not 0% To: RawDairy From: jayadevmk@...Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2007 07:08:52 -0800Subject: Re: "skim" milk? Hi Val, Keeping unhomogenised milk(Raw / processed) stationary for some hrs will cause fat globules to come up and form a creamy layer on the top. This DOESN'T mean that the milk at the bottom portion is skimmed! But yea there will be a difference in % fat for sure.... cheers Jay "skim" milk? My husband is very concerned about his cholesterol. I pour my raw whole milk into a dispenser that dispenses from the bottom, which I've been assuming provides skim milk. He thinks the milk tastes richer than before, which I was assuming was because it was raw. But he asked me to find out if I can what the actual fat content is of the milk from below the cream line.Is milk poured out of the bottom (after the milk has set for many hours) the same as commercial skim milk in fat?Thanks for any help!Val __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Hi, Val Have you read any of the articles on the Weston Price website regarding cholesterol? High cholesterol is not necessarily a bad thing, and is not necessarily tied to fat consumption (if I remember correctly, it's tied to unsaturated fats more so than saturated fats). Check out this article, and others on the WAPF website by doing a search for 'cholesterol'. http://www.westonaprice.org/moderndiseases/benefits_cholest.html Hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Cheryl, you're preaching to the choir, but for now I'm trying to pick my battles. Trying to convince my dh that milkfat is actually good for him is likely to take more time than simply informing him that the milk he's drinking isn't significantly higher in fat than the stuff down at the UDF.
