Question: what is the difference between skim milk and 1 percent?
Answer: While whole milk contains 3.5 percent milk fat, most of the fat has been removed from 1 percent milk. It contains just 1 percent milk fat, or half as much as 2 percent milk. Skim milk isn't technically fat-free, since it can contain up to 0.2 percent milk fat, but skim milk is as close as you're going to get to nonfat.
