Whats the difference between homogenized milk and 2% milk?
Here’s what you are trying to ask, “is whole milk better than 2% milk? All milk is required to be “pasteurized”. It’s very difficult to find milk that is not pasteurized. Here’s the difference between the milks, whole milk has all the milk fat in it, 2% milk has just that, 2% milk fat in it, while 1% milk, which is what we use, has only 1% milk fat and non-fat milk has zero milk fat. And the healthiest one is the non-fat milk, unless you have a dietary need for the milk fat. For us, 1% is the lowest I’ll go. It’s funny, because now my husband can’t handle any of the other milks, he says they taste too thick. Children on the other hand, have different nutritional needs and they may need a higher milk fat, but that’s something a doctor would need to say since they would need to evaluate the child.
