Full for me, was raised on the stuff and it just kinda stuck. Semi is tolerable and skimmed is coloured water labeled as milk, horrible stuff
 
I can ONLY have skimmed milk in tea/coffee etc. (cream in coffee is okay if I'm not worrying about dying).

I prefer skimmed milk for everything else (cereal/on its own) but I can live with 1% or semi.

I used to drink 2-3 pints whole milk a day as a teenager = now fat

Why anyone would consider another animals milk a benefit is beyond me..... Milk is vile.... and the way it is portrayed as a healthy product is utterly laughable - but we need to keep that industry going I suppose and it is one of the best marketed products in the UK ;)

And on the subjest of Homogensied milk..... The cream floating on top was floating for a reason. Breaking the fat into smaller pieces prevents the body from properly metabolising and subsequently absorbing the mineral/vitamin content from the milk - just one of many dozens of things that shouldn't be messed with. And don;t even start me about Pasturisation (which essentially destroys the only valuable enzymes that are in it - and leaves the ones that are responsible virtuall half of all food intolerance and almost all glue-ear infections in children) - If people would eduacte themselves about milk, they might actually realise that it's not such a miracle drink at all and actually prevents calcium uptake due to it's Potassium content (which is usually the no.1 reason people drink the stuff)

As you can see - I don't drink any of them if I can help it.
 
Used to drink full fat many years ago, but now I really dislike the fatty taste and stick to semi-skimmed. However anything is better than UHT, which provides me with the opportunity for a Father Ted quote -

Mr. Fox: (Dougal's New Boss) You'd better get going, actually. Milk gets sour y'know. Unless it's UHT milk, but there's no demand for that because it's sh*te.

Couldn't agree more. Hence why I don't drink much of it these days. As it's so hard to find unhomoginised and unpasturised milk :( You're right, a lot of people don't really know much about diet and nutrition, and just listen to what the press say or what the "experts" say without really understanding what effects different nutrients have on your body. That's why my diet is so much tighter, aiming for being as alkaline as possible (within reason) and why I'm as healthy as I've ever been, and why my sporting abilities have improved significantly. People just don't understand how different nutrients affect your body. Not that they would or should, but it's scary how much stuff people spout in terms of what you "should" eat/drink and so on. Half the studies that are published are utter tripe most of the time, and yet people lap them up as gospel. :/
 
Green for me. :D


And I drink way to much of it, need to stop really. I'll probably OD on calcium some how.
 
i alwys use skimmed as i do not drink milk on its own ...... or im a keen drinker of unsweetened soya milk or skimmed goats milk ....... i like soya milk better because it tastes better in cereals.

i bought asda,s purple milk today however i have not tried it yet
