"When it comes to choosing milk, everyone has their own 'preferences'. So, how do you choose milk that is nutritious and healthy and suitable for you in your daily life?"
First of all, the simpler the processing, the less nutrients are lost in the milk, and pasteurized milk can be preferred at home. If long-term storage is required, other varieties are also good options.
Secondly, learn to look at the outer packaging of milk. One is to look at the ingredient list. The raw material to be selected is only fresh milk, which is pure milk. The second is to look at the nutrition facts list. According to the relevant national standards, the protein content in milk shall not be less than 2.8 grams per 100 ml. The higher the protein content, the higher the nutritional value. Generally speaking, the calcium content in every 100 ml of milk is 90~120 mg, and if the calcium content is higher than 120 mg, it can be called high-calcium milk.
Finally, the choice of milk varies from person to person, and skimming doesn't mean healthier. If you have dyslipidemia, you can choose skim milk or semi-skim milk. For the elderly and children, it is actually more recommended to drink whole milk.
