Do the different percents of milk have different levels of Lactose?

I know it may be a weird question but does whole milk have a higher level of lactose then say 1% or even 2%?

    While the different fat percentages of milk won't have significantly different concentrations of lactose, there will still be a very small difference. Since each type is still measured out in the same volume, when you remove part of one component (fat) the difference in volume will be made up by the other components. Logically, whole milk would have slightly less lactose than 2%, 1%, or skim. But again, it would be an insignificantly small difference, if you're concerned about nutrition or lactose intolerance.

    The percentage relates the fat (lipid) content while lactose is a carbohydrate.

    So, the different percents of milk have same levels of lactose.

    i'm no longer attempting to be recommend, yet this is precisely why I want greater mothers breastfed. Breastmilk is the appropriate and maximum delicate nutrients for an toddler. besides, i do no longer think of goats milk is undesirable or something yet your infant is a few distance too youthful to be on milk already. He should be on formula for the 1st year. i could say perhaps 10 or 11 months could be okay to initiate switching him, yet once you placed him on milk this quickly, he will omit out on sooo lots foodstuff that formula has in it. once you do swap to exploit, goats milk ought to be superb. I particularly do no longer think of putting him on milk now is going to help together with his tummy. many times in the event that they're too youthful, that is going to do the different. He isn't waiting to handle it properly yet. in case you do try the goats milk, make confident and purchase it from a save so as which you be attentive to that is been pasturized and that its healthy. i could even recommend getting him organic and organic goats milk because of the fact then it won't have any extra chemical compounds and stuff in it.

  • No, they are all the same. Except for human milk which I kind of hope you aren't drinking. Around 4% for all normal cow processed milk.
