Does anyone know the difference?

I usually buy and drink skimmed milk, but I recently read that the healthiest way to go is Low Fat Milk or 1% milk.

I thought that is what skimmed means!

Enlighten me please!

    As far as I know, skimmed milk is 0.1% fat, whereas low fat is usually around 1%, so between semi-skimmed (2%) and skimmed. To be honest though, there's not that much difference in my opinion between the three in low quantities. I think they have slightly different amounts of vitamins in them, though.

    Skimmed - approx 35 calories per 100ml
    Low fat - 42 calories
    Semi - 45 calories
