Properly chosen milk is not only a tasty drink, but also a source of easily digestible protein, as well as other useful substances.

However, it is easy to get lost among the huge variety of products on store shelves.

Let's figure out why you need to pay attention to the fat content of a product and what it affects.

What kind of milk to buy in the store

The fat content of milk that you see on product packaging starts at 0%. These figures are derived from the concentration of fat in 100 grams of the drink.

First of all, fat content affects the taste of milk. The higher it is, the richer it is and the higher the nutritional value of the drink.

However, if your body does not digest milk fats well, then only a product with a low fat content of up to 1% will suit you.

At the same time, those who want to remove toxins from the body are better off drinking a 2.5% drink, which has a diuretic effect.

It is noted that you will not find real fatty milk in the store. It is offered by farmers and villagers, since producers of store-bought milk most often obtain a fattier product by adding collected milk fat to it.
