00:00Whole milk is making a comeback in the United States.
00:02New U.S. dietary guidance includes whole milk in a healthy diet.
00:06But how does whole milk compare with skim milk for heart health?
00:09A cup of whole milk contains about 149 calories and 5 grams of saturated fat.
00:15The same amount of skim milk has just 91 calories and no saturated fat.
00:20Yet both types provide about 300 milligrams of calcium.
00:23They also contain roughly 8 grams of protein per cup.
00:27Research suggests dairy fat does not significantly change heart disease risk.
00:32Experts say dairy fats may differ from saturated fats in fatty meats and butter.
00:36The main difference may come down to calories and overall dietary balance.
00:40For people limiting calories or saturated fat, skim milk remains an option.
00:45Whole milk can also fit into a balanced diet when consumed appropriately.
00:50Experts say the choice ultimately depends on your diet, needs, and preference.
