What is the main reason for giving skimmed milk instead of full-cream milk to a heart patient?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Reduce saturated fat intake
Skimmed milk contains substantially less fat than full-cream milk, particularly less saturated fat. Replacing full-cream milk can therefore help reduce saturated-fat intake in a heart-healthy eating pattern, while milk can still provide protein and calcium. It is not intended to remove calcium, increase fibre, or increase lactose. Hence, option B is correct.
