To ask which is more nutritious and why?

[NancysDream]

A pint of skimmed milk or 1/2 a pint of whole milk mixed with water. Thanks

Skimmed milk more protein but whole milk with water will have more fat-soluble vitamins?

Depends what your views on fat are.

I would guess the skimmed milk, it has only had the fat taken out of it, other nutrients will be there in the same quantities as a pint of whole milk. Unless you are concerned about fat soluble vitamins in which case 1/2 pint whole milk might be better

why do you ask

Is it like 2 egg whites vs a whole egg? I've been arguing that the fat is like the yolk of the egg, the best bit nutrient wise. And therefore it would be better to drink half as much whole milk than twice as much skimmed milk IYSWIM.

Many years ago after Uni, I used to work in a lab testing milk before production.

We used to add vitamin D for the milk for the US Airforce bases.

Neither, unfortunately the pasteurising process damages the majority of the nutritional content. If you want nutritious milk go for raw milk.

How do you think it damages the nutritional content?
