Heard Yogurt is good for dogs, but it has skim milk in it. Isn’t milk bad for them?

I don’t get it. I know pro- and prebiotics are great for dogs as well as humans but I found organic plain yogurt and it has skim milk in it, of course, but I wonder, won’t dogs get sick from this?
Thanks Shanna! That was a good answer with an explanation!!

My dogs get plain yogurt everyday and do wonderful. Milk isn’t bad for dogs by any means, it’s just that many dogs are lactose intolerant. However, the live cultures in yogurt help the dogs process the lactose making it easier on their system than plain milk.

I cannot even tell the difference between skim milk and regular milk anymore.
ok i see the question is kinda confusing. basically, what health benefits have i given myself by drinking skim milk (if any)?

if you cut 100 calories from your diet (per day) you should lose about 10 pounds in a year. whole milk has around 150 calories per serving, skim milk has roughly 80. In theory if your diet and exercise and all other conditions remained the same you’d lose 7 pounds per serving of milk you drink.

70 calories x 365 = 25,550
you’ll avoid that many calories per serving of milk you would typically drink

I know they can have whole milk but what about skim milk and low fat milk?

drs recommend whole milk for 1 and 2 year olds (they need the extra calories at that age) after that you can give them skim of 2% if you would like

Can you also tell me if skim milk or low fat milk is more fattening?
The nutrition facts of skim milk seems to have less calories, but according to the internet, they say skim milk is fattening!
Thank youu so much if you can help!

definitely yes. dieting doesn’t mean that you don’t eat any fat food… our body needs some amount of fat daily and you can drink low fat milk. don’t worry. i am also dieting and i am drinking low fat milk.

will drinking one glass of skim milk a day make me gain weight?

i’m just beginning to recover from a big ED (eating disorder) and i haven’t had milk or calcium in soo long (i haven’t had meat or bread in eyons either) but if i drank one glass of skim milk (0% fat) a day, would i gain weight?

i mean, if it’s 0% fat it’s not going to make my body fat percentage go up, is it?

i don’t wanna gain weight lol.
i don’t mean "if i ONLY drank a glass of skim milk" i mean, if i drank on top of everything else i eat.

Dairy products contain fat, as does every other food. Here’s the thing. Healthy fats do not make you gain weight. You NEED healthy fats in your diet so that your body can work properly. You also need carbs and protein. Eating a healthy, well balanced diet and exercising will eventually keep you at a proportionate weight for your body size and height. There may be an adjustment period due to your ED though. Skim milk is an excellent addition to your diet. Make sure you’re getting vitamins as well. One more suggestion from a former anna girl…. throw away your scale, learn about nutrition and set some goals for your life. Best of luck.

How is lowfat/skim milk made?

What happens to skim/lowfat milk that makes it different from whole milk?

Processors skim *ALL* milk.

That is, they run the milk through a special type of continuous centrifuge that’s called a "cream separator". Cream is thicker than milk, but it’s also much lighter.

They add back part of the cream to produce 2% milk, and more of the cream to produce 3.5% butterfat "whole milk".

After they add back the cream, they homogenize the milk, which is to say, they run it through a very tight sieve, so that the globules of cream are reduced in size. This keeps them suspended in the milk, so that they don’t rise to the top as happens in real milk.

Unfortunately, there are some problems with homogenization, in that it makes milk "turn" faster, and it isn’t as wholesome, and causes hardening of the arteries. However, it is *whiter* than non-homogenized milk, and some consumers are too lazy to shake a container of milk before they use it.

The most healthful milk to drink is raw milk, if your state allows it to be sold.

Will adding water to whole milk turn it to skim milk?

I was just wondering since skim milk tastes watery already, and by adding water to regular milk makes it look like skim milk, so I was just wondering if that’s a way to turn whole milk into skim milk.
If it doesn’t work, is there any other way to turn whole milk into skim milk?

If the milk is homogenized, there is literally no way to make the milk skim, which, by definition, contains no milkfat (aka cream). Homogenized whole milk has been processed in such a way that the cream cannot be separated from the skim milk.

If the milk is non-homogenized, you can let the milk sit in a refrigerator and the cream will rise to the top. Pour off the cream and you end up with skim milk.

If I mix my glass with 2% milk and skim milk, will I get 1% milk or a stomachache?

I don’t want all the fat in 2% and I don’t like how skim milk is so watery and I don’t have any 1%. Would this work?

It works just fine. If you mix 1 cup of 2% and one cup of skim, you get 1% milk. Simple. And no, it won’t give you a stomach ache unless you’re lactose intolerant…

Is the only difference between whole milk and skim milk the amount of fat?
