HEALTHY EATING - Skim Milk Calcium

Skim Milk Calcium on wiseGEEK:

• Because most milk is homogenized, making skim milk at home is essentially impossible, unless you have access to milk which has not been so treated. As a general rule, skim milk will keep under refrigeration for five to 10 days. Always check the expiration date on milk and dairy products when you purchase them, and sniff dairy products when you open them to ensure that the contents have not spoiled.
• An alternative is low-fat milk, which has between one and two percent fat. Although the fat has been removed, a single serving of skim milktypically contains more nutrients than whole milk. This is because the reduction of fat makes room for a lot more nutrients per serving.
