What makes milk so powerful?

Milk is mostly water, so a cup is a modest 100 to 150 calories depending on fat. Whole milk carries about 3.25% fat, skim almost none, and the lower-fat versions are fortified so vitamin A and D levels stay similar. Protein and calcium are essentially the same across them, about 3.3 g protein per 100 g. Lactose is the milk sugar, and lactose-free milk has the same calories.

💡 When & how to use it
