This is due to the fact that whole milk contains a lot of fat in it which is the leading cause of childhood obesity. * Whole Milk - 150 Calories - 8g Fat * 2% Milk - 120 Calories - 4.5g Fat (Reduced fat milk) * 1% Milk - 100 Calories - 2.5g Fat (Low-fat milk) * Skim Milk - 80 Calories - 0g Fat (Nonfat milk) As a result of these conflicting reports, this student decided to venture to his
