Tarun – My two cents , oops 5 cents 😉
“The Nutrition tables of both full cream and toned milk are almost the same. However, there are few other aspects to be taken in consideration.
1. Full cream milk is most natural and minimal treated whereas preparation of toned milk exposes it to processing for extraction of fat. Here, full cream milk is a winner.
2. In some of the brands, toned milk has more carbs than full cream milk. Again, full cream milk is a winner.
3. When a person consumes full cream milk and toned milk, the serving size changes without notice. You would need more toned milk to prepare tea or coffee , whereas less full cream milk for the same. Hence, the serving size of full cream milk is always smaller.
4. Full cream milk gives more satiety. One glass of full cream milk will keep you full for a longer time but you may feel hungry soon in case of toned milk. Again, full cream milk is a winner.
5. Low carbers – Full fat cream is the first choice for tea/coffee followed by full cream milk”
