After the Second World War, America’s economy boomed. More Americans bought automobiles, refrigerators and deep freezers. They had access to more food, worked in air-conditioned offices, and generally led a sedentary lifestyle. The effect of this was, more Americans gained weight rapidly and developed lifestyle diseases – heart disease, diabetes, etc. 

Dieticians found skimmed milk to be a perfect drink. It was loaded with proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals, vitamin D and A and other essential nutrients. Skimmed milk was found to be low in fat content. 

Skimming involved removing cream from the milk, while increasing calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, this made skimmed milk a dietician’s perfect food. In the 50s, magazines called skimmed milk, the ‘wonder food’ 

Through the years, skimmed milk has not lost its luster. It’s still known to aid healthy weight management, strengthening of bones, reducing type 2 diabetes, helping the elderly and offering recovery after physical exercise, and reducing the prevalence of heart diseases.
