Go to the supermarket and there are all kinds of [milk] lined up on the shelves: breakfast milk, soothing milk, high calcium milk, low fat milk…
Milk drinkers who do not know the truth are puzzled and forced. In the end, they are often: which kind of advertisement to buy more.
1. Breakfast milk
The name is [Breakfast Milk], and everyone thinks it is especially suitable for breakfast.
Most breakfast milk on the market looks like this:
Breakfast milk = pure milk + water + sugar + wheat essence, walnut powder, grain (see what you bought is what flavor) + some nutritional enhancers + edible essence
- Because of the addition of water, the protein content of breakfast milk is not as good as that of pure milk. Although wheat essence, walnut powder, grain and nutrition enhancer are added, the addition amount is also very limited. There is also sugar in it, which is a minus item. You know, the less sugar you add, the better.
In a word, if you drink milk or yogurt for breakfast, there is no need to replace it with [breakfast milk].
However, if you often have no time to eat breakfast, it is at least much better to take a box of breakfast milk out than not eating breakfast at all, or eating egg yolk pie and chocolate what.
2. Shuhua Milk
Shuhua milk can be said to be specially tailored for students who are lactose intolerant.
Lactase is added to hydrolyze lactose in milk, which is suitable for [lactose intolerant] people who are uncomfortable drinking milk at ordinary times.
Moreover, lactose itself is very sweet, but after hydrolysis it becomes glucose and galactose, so Shuhua milk tastes sweet.
However, except lactose, there is no difference in nutrition absorption between protein, fat and calcium in Shuhua milk in what. If you drink milk without pressure at ordinary times, you don’t need to pursue Shuhua milk.
3. High calcium milk
Looking at the data alone, there will be more calcium in high-calcium milk:
- Calcium content of pure milk: 100 ~ 120 mg/100 mL Calcium content of high calcium milk: 130 ~ 150 mg/100 mL
However, [how much] and [how much can be absorbed] are two different things.
Most of the extra calcium added to high-calcium milk is calcium carbonate or calcium lactate. Compared with the calcium in milk itself, the absorption rate cannot be compared at all.
In fact, milk itself already has enough calcium, and the absorption rate is good. Drinking 2 cups of milk a day, plus vegetable and bean products, can meet the daily calcium demand, instead of specially drinking [high calcium milk].
Step 4: Skim milk
The so-called skim milk is the product after centrifuging most of the fat in milk. The fat content of whole milk is about 3%, while skim milk can be less than 0.5%, and the calories are less than half.
These days, [low fat] [low calorie] has become a synonym for health. Many girls strongly pursue skim milk and think it is better than whole milk.
But!
- Skim milk removes fat, and vitamins A, D and E originally existing in milk (these vitamins can only be dissolved in fat) disappear with fat. The fragrance of milk is attributed to the fat in it. Skim milk without fat tastes weak and has no satisfaction. Instead of eating a cake after drinking skim milk, it is better to drink whole milk directly.
You don’t drink milk as water, and you drink 1 or 2 cups a day. There is no need to struggle with the extra grams of fat.
However, if you are overweight or hyperlipidemic, you can consider low-fat milk or skim milk.
5. Milk beverages
In supermarkets, there is also a product that people often mistake for [milk]-milk-containing beverages.
They look and name like milk, but just look at the [ingredient list] and they show their true colors: water comes first, white granulated sugar comes second, and milk or milk powder comes third.
Therefore, milk-containing beverages are not milk in essence. No matter protein, calcium or other nutrients, they cannot be compared with milk.
Take protein content as an example:
- Pure milk: ≥ 2.9 g/100g Milk beverage: ≥ 1 g/100g
If you like to drink, it is good to drink occasionally (more sugar, less), but don’t think it can replace milk yogurt.
6. Pure milk
Very simple, only [raw milk] is on the ingredient list.
Good nutrition, reasonable price, no deceit by the old and the young, most people are suitable, sincerely recommended.
As for whether to choose pasteurized milk in the freezer or normal temperature milk on the shelf, there is actually no need to struggle too much. Although they are slightly different in nutrition and taste, they are not very different, nor are they good or bad.
- If you usually have convenient shopping and a large refrigerator at home, you may as well try pasteurized milk, which may taste better. If you like to store food, or if the dormitory company does not have a refrigerator, the shelf life is long enough, and the warm milk that does not need refrigeration is more suitable for you.
