Milk is a household essential but now it\u2019s finally been revealed which one is best for you. While you might have a personal preference, experts have debunked the myth about which milk<\/a> has the best health benefits.<\/p>\n

Scientists from the University of Toronto conducted a three-month study, where participants ate full-fat dairy<\/a> products three times a day. There is a wider choice of milks<\/a> to choose from than ever before, but which type would be most beneficial to your health? The results found that consuming full-fat dairy made no difference to weight gain compared to a control group. However, it did lead to lower blood pressure and a boost in bone-building calcium, protein and vitamin D.<\/p>\n

The experts concluded that older people who may have more brittle bones should consume full-fat dairy products, Daily Mail reports.<\/p>\n

Full-fat milk is an easy way to incorporate this into the diet, the experts added. Whole milk<\/a> contains essential vitamins which other forms of milk do not have.<\/p>\n

While it is the highest in calories, nutritionist Grace Kingswell says it is still only 4% fat.<\/p>\n

She adds that the risk of a few extra calories and fat is worth it for the nutritional benefits.<\/p>\n

Not only this but she says full-fat milk<\/a> is more filling so by consuming it, people will feel fuller for longer.<\/p>\n

Semi-skimmed milk is the most popular option in the UK, with around 80% of people opting for this choice. The milk<\/a> has less fat meaning people will miss out on some of the vitamins the whole milk option offers.<\/p>\n

However, research from Southern Medical University in China found those who regularly drank semi-skimmed milk<\/a> over a 13-year period were around a third less likely to be diagnosed with anxiety.<\/p>\n

Finally, skimmed milk<\/a> is the lowest-calorie and lowest-fat option.<\/p>\n

Despite this, Kingswell says skimmed milk contains less vitamin D than full-fat milk, which helps the body absorb the crucial nutrient, reports Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She says: \u201cI would never not recommend full-fat milk<\/a> or yoghurt,\u201d she says. \u201cIt contains far more of the nutrients we need compared to the lower-fat versions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kingswell adds: \u201cThe fat contains all the beneficial vitamins \u2013 A, D, E and K, which the low fat versions don\u2019t have.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Milk is a household essential but now it\u2019s finally been revealed which one is best for you.
