Reduced Fat Ice Cream: Milk

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals. In the U.S., the vast majority of milk consumed comes from cows. It is a primary ingredient in many dairy products, including cheese, yogurt, and ice cream.

Milk is used in a wide variety of foods for its flavor, nutritional content, and functional properties. It acts as a base for dairy products, adds richness and moisture to baked goods, and contributes to the creamy texture of ice cream and other frozen desserts.

Milk is a natural source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D. Regulatory bodies like the FDA consider milk safe for consumption. The WHO/IARC has not classified milk concerning carcinogenicity. While milk is a common food, some individuals have lactose intolerance or milk allergies, which can cause adverse reactions.
