Does skimmed and semi skimmed milk contain as much melatonin as full fat milk?

January 282010

I need help sleeping but don’t want to get fat!
Ii should add I live in the Uk and shops don’t sell milk with extra melatonin as far as I know.

The melatonin levels vary Morning milking/ Evening milking and also when the cow started lactating after calving.Also which breed of cow, so very complex answer.
A farmer in Ireland started milking his cows at a different time to increase the levels of Melatonin.
A glass of warm milk before bed wont make much difference calorie wise.

At the gym i do 40 Min’s of cardio 3 days a week and the whey protein helps me recover alot faster.

Skimmed Milk
Coz the fat is being removed but isnt that important coz its actually ‘milk fat’

Skimmed milk is fine for anyone over the age of 2 years. You’ll find that it still has all of the same nutrients as full fat milk, ie protein & calcium, but just has the fat removed. You can get enough nutrition from other foods to make up for anything you might feel you’re missing out on by not having full fat milk.

Can i give skimmed milk to my 6-7 month old puppies?

October 252009

i put a little skimmed milk in their food so they will eat it. is it bad for them??

no no no don’t give dogs milk. they’re lactose intolerant. you may not see the diarrhea, but they’re definitely having gastric pain after that!!

if the pups won’t eat their ration, then they aren’t hungry. leave the dish down 15 min, and then pick up whatever’s uneaten.
feed them in the same way morning and evening. they’ll eat their food.

if you want to add something, you can substitute a little ground beef (raw) or turkey on top of their food. that is GOOD for them.

WAIT- looking at your other questions….
HOW OLD Are these pups? or are you starting a puppymill?
