5 Reasons Why Skim Milk is Unhealthy For You
4. Lacks vitamin K
Skim milk is devoid of a vital nutrient called Vitamin K. If you wish to gain the goodness of vitamin K, you will have to consume skim milk along with a small block of butter or a cube of cheese. This kills the purpose of having skim milk. You have low fat milk in order to lose weight but the result is ultimately useless if you lack vitamin K. And if you wish to get the benefit of vitamin K, you have to consume high fat products like butter and cheese.
5. Leads to heart diseases
As the saturated fats are drained out of skim milk by reducing it and heating it at high temperature and by pressurizing, it fails to be nutritious. In fact, the most nutritious aspect of the milk which is the saturated fat is absent, causing the cholesterol to settle down in the arteries, increasing risk of strokes and heart attack.
