Homogenized, pasteurized skim milk is white water and not even a diary product as far as I'm concerned. I'm no expert on milk but my understanding is that skim (or skimmed) milk is milk with the fat removed. If you don't want to consume the fat for health reasons, you can, according to you, drink whole milk non-homogenized and let your system excrete the fat. It seems to me simpler to remove the fat before drinking. Save you and your body the trouble of dealing with special sources and prices for non-homogenized milk. As for "homogenized, pasteurized skim milk," the "homogenized" is redundant and irrelevant, no? If there's no fat in it, then there is no point in homogenizing it. And if you excrete the fat, then from a nutritional perspective, what you are drinking is just "white water," as well. It just tastes better. Homogenized, pasteurized skim milk is white water and not even a diary product as far as I'm concerned. [I remember the days before homogenized milk. My mom used to skim it herself and use the fat for whipped cream.] EDIT I just found this clip. "Skim milk is homogenized to avoid any separation of milk fat from the milk (very small amounts of fat remain in skimmed milk; nonfat milk is defined at less than 0.5% milk fat)." That makes sense, buthe skim milk in my fridge does not say it's homogenized. You'd think if it were it would say so. Milk used to say it was homogenized if it was.
