Gold top milk is elite. Discuss.

Ditched the watery, insipid skimmed milk years ago for semi skimmed. Now gone the whole hog (the whole cow?) and enjoying gold top guernsey milk with the cream on top - added bonus, it arrives on my doorstep in a glass bottle from a local dairy.

Cant be beaten!

@Gliblet totally agree, I’d try raw it was available near to me. Next best is my lovely local dairy guernsey milk - can hear the moo-ing!

Love FF greek yogurt, keeps me super full 👍

Closest thing I can get to the best milk I've ever had - unpasteurised raw milk from the cows at my great uncle's farm.

I lost five stone over the last few years, and that's included switching from low fat to full fat Greek yoghurt, from marg to butter, and stopping buying skimmed or semi skimmed milk. I just have less milk or butter than I would have had semi skimmed or marg. Had a load of blood tests recently pre-surgery and my cholesterol, blood pressure, resting pulse and blood sugars are all well within healthy range as well so I'm fairly sure I haven't absolutely monstered my arteries 😁

Only acceptable on exam papers IMO.

probably why it sets me teeth on edge when it pops up here, because it takes me back to my GCSES 😬.

I go for non homogenised from a local dairy. Full fat milk has more fat soluble vitamins per ounce.

GetMeOutOfMeta · 15/04/2025 09:38

We always go full fat. The taste is one thing but distorting food so that you lose a few pounds rather than showing restraint has always been a weird concept to me. One day all the quacks who keep telling us to eat "marg" and "blends" instead of butter (looking at you NHS 40 year Health Check advisors) will have to admit they've been steering us wrong.

YABU for “discuss”. We don’t like that here.

I used to love the cream on the top of the milk in my porridge. Now I buy full fat but it's homogenised.....

Non-homogenised milk is so much healthier for us. Blasting the fat through tiny holes in a pipe to make it sit uniformly through the milk creates so many challenges for our bodies.
