    Skim milk has a tiny, tiny bit less calcium.
    I compared the labels just yesterday and skim milk has 120mg/100ml and the full cream unhomegenised milk has 123mg/100ml.
    No idea about the other skinny milks because I don't like my milk too processed. It's either unhomegenised or skim for me.

    Hi

    Does not matter .. like Chloe said the difference is really not comparable, BUT, big BUT the way calcium is absorbed into your system depends on the fat content of the milk. So full-fat milk will let you absorb more calcium than low-fat milk. I read this in another forum on here somewhere, smart ppl these Belly Belly ladies

    So I do this ... I drink the low-fat (over cereal ect) because I can't stomach the full-fat milk, but I try and eat full-fat yoghurt/cheeses and just supplement with a good pg-vitamin.

    Hope that helped

    Thanks Nadine - that's great to know. I have low fat milks & full fat cheeses too, I loooovve cheese so I felt reassured to hear you say that's what you do.
