I can heard tens of my female readers running away right now. Yes, I don’t really have that much viewers on my blog so it is not that obvious. What? Whole Milk? Are you crazy or something? Who in the hell drinks whole milk? Don’t you know the amount of fat in the milk is like one million times that of low fat milk huh? Don’t you know that fat in the milk is bad for you? You really want to get fat and ugly with hips the size of rhinos?

Well, the truth is, the fat in the milk doesn’t automatically make you fat. I am not joking. Seriously, do you think that the fat (butterfat) in the milk will somehow magically turn into human fat once you consume the milk? The body will have to break down the fat into various components, energy and nutrients. Of course, if you consume excess amounts of milk, sure it will make you fat. Just like any other food which when you consume gives you energy, this excess “energy” will be stored by your body as fat for later use. What I am saying is that if you don’t consume excess amounts of food, you will not be fat. If your body uses up the energy, you will not be fat. It is actually as simple as that. I would also like to tell you guys that quite a significant amount of the important nutrients in the milk are in the butterfat of the milk. If you are drinking “low fat” milk, you are merely ensuring that there are less nutrients in the milk.

For those who think that low fat milk is good for you, you should rethink that again. In order to produce low fat milk, milk manufacturers first have to get rid off most of the fat (to make into other stuff like butter). The industrial process will inevitably damage the butterfat during the process. So when the manufacturers remove the fat from the milk, we get skimmed milk. And if you have drank skim milk before, you would know that the watery “white water” doesn’t really taste like anything and nobody wants to drink skim milk. To combat this and increase sales, the milk manufacturers have to add back some of the fats to get “low fat” milk. Yes, they are essentially adding damaged butterfat into that low fat milk. Damaged fats don’t break down as easily as undamaged fats. You get less nutrients plus damaged butterfat. The whole concept of low fat milk is for marketing purposes. Seriously, for those looking to cut a little of their weight and get a little healthier, what better way than to look for “LOW-FAT” milk right? It sells. The masses like to think that they are consuming “LOW-FAT” stuff and feel good about it. But the whole idea is so wrong. Sad that the public is buying into it big time.

However, I am not a doctor nor am I a scientist. My advise to you is to Google for more information on the health benefits of whole milk and the problems associated with low fat milk. Yes, take everything with a pinch of salt and that includes what I had just mentioned.

Pauls Pure Whole Milk. Looks good doesn’t it?

Yes, fresh & tasty and made from fresh milk! It also seems that Pauls is the leading Australian brand! And the design of their pack is classy – yellow daisy, fresh green grass and cloudy blue sky. Lol!

The ingredients is well, just whole milk! I like whole milk, you should too. Oh, the freshness is ensured because the contents have been ultra-heat treated. But I am not keen on the idea of such high heat treatment of the milk. I mean, just think what happens to the milk if you boil it at extreme temperatures. A lot of the vitamins and nutrients would have been destroyed during this process. Basically, you are burning off  all the important nutrients which makes milk a very healthy foodstuff.

Here you have the nutrition table. Wait, there seems to be some Trans Fat in the milk! Weird, I thought that Trans Fat is only created artificially (through some hydrogenation process) and should not exist in nature? If this milk is not processed in any way, why is there Trans Fat in the milk?

Yes, made in Australia, where the cows roam free and happy.

Don’t you just love long life milk? This milk can last nearly a year without refrigeration. It is just too bad that a lot of the nutrients and vitamins are destroyed at the same time. But in Singapore, it is not like we have much choice.
