Natural skim milk straight from the cow?

Categories: Nutrition & Supplements

Are you a fan of cow's milk but prefer the lower-fat and healthier skim milk rather than whole milk? Instead of using equipment to make skim milk, scientists say they are breeding cows to produce skimmed milk naturally. That's right -- straight from the udder.

The scientist team has found a cow which naturally produces lower levels of saturated fat in her milk -- and they plan on using her to breed that characteristic into other cows to produce "natural" cow's milk.

If you are one to like the taste of whole milk but who does not like all the saturated fat content, natural skim milk may be your answer, if it's ever commercialized.
