Plaque build-up in your arteries is a side effect of pasteurization. The enzymes necessary to brake down the cream [fat] in milk have been neutralized. People drink low fat milk to combat that problem.
I really don't feel like drinking 8% pasteurized milk and clogging my veins up. I too thought it was unlikely to be 8% and was willing to return to 3+% milk in low quantities. Yes, it's really yummy, but I want my arteries to be a little more free flowing. |

| I switched over to soy milk and haven't looked back. I buy small quantities of dairy milk for coffee. |

Guys, that is 8% of your daily value of fat, not 8% by volume. |

Good call, I was about to post the same thing, and then noticed that you already pointed it out.
For those of you interested based on the nutritional information Seoul Milk would be around 4% M.F. 4g of fat per 100mL (~100g) of milk. So yes, higher than US whole milk. |

Yeah Seoul Milk doesn't taste that great, but it's apparently the most popular milk company in Korea. GT Milk is a bit better but not by much.
The best tasting milk I've found is by Dong Wong. That milk is insanely tastey and I'm not sure why it's not as popular. I think cuz it's more expensive, around 5000 Won for 2 1 litre cartons. I found it at Kim's Club and it seriously tastes better than some of the milk I drank back home in Canada. Apparently not even Koreans really know about it. You guys should give it a try! It's has blue and white packaging and it almost looks like GT milk but you should see Dong Wong marked clearly outside somewhere. |

| I have a part-time gig at a kindergarten in a very rich area. The Korean staff often gives me a glass of milk. I asked them what kind of milk is that because it tasted pretty good. Like untreated milk straight from the cow. Turned out they get it delivered daily from an organic farm, it�s not available at stores. Now I should just make a deal with them to order an extra few liters for me. |

Check if their story is real ...
Take some home and keep it in your fridge for 5 days. If it's hard to drink after that and the taste has significantly changed, it's really whole milk.
After your test confirms it's the real deal, PM me 'cause I want some too!
Lucky find, especially in Korea! |

I have had my fare share of untreated raw milk when I was a child and that taste/texture can�t be mistaken. I�m sure it�s the stuff.
I told the principal that I would love to have this for myself but instead of getting my supplies from them, she suggested an organic store a block away from the kindy that doesn�t sell that exact same milk but perhaps something similar. I might ask them again a bit more directly but I don�t want to force this issue too much.
I could however get the contact information of their supplier. Although they might prefer larger and regular orders but who knows. My wife used to get a 150ml �health drink� every single morning delivered in a cooler bag to her workplace. |

so...it is NOT 8% fat - this means it has 4g per 100ml of FAT - the numbers in the brackets are actually the % of the recommended intake of things in your diet...which is VERY different in Asia to the west - by advocating way more carbs and meat than we do...but it is what it is.
I prefer 무지방 anyway as milk fat is wasted calories imo... |

Goat's milk is yummy too. Take your vegan propaganda elsewhere. |
There's no accounting for taste. However, you've failed to mention which fact of the matter you've confused with propaganda. |

I guess the point was a little too subtle for you. My apologies. |

Disgusting.
I pay 5,280 for the fat-free shit at Home Plus.
Well worth it.  |

There is a lot of evidence that this is actually true regarding milk, but I still can't bring myself to consume all that fat.
I drink the goat milk when I can get it, even though it's pricey. |

Whole milk = revolting. Makes me near nauseous if I accidentally drink it in the morning. How Koreans manage to down Seoul Milk repeatedly is right up there with eating kimchi at every meal and sucking down half a pound of rice at a time, three times a day. I'll never get it.
Even worse these nutjobs pushing 'raw' milk. Good God. They invented pasteurization, and made it compulsory, for a reason, you know. Raw milk can kill you. That's why you'd better be careful, Lazio--that rich kinder is likely breaking the law. If KFDA found out, they'd probably arrest the farmer producing it. That's happened repeatedly in California.
As to the vegans and their yammering: why is it so important to you what I drink? You drink what you want, you won't hear any moralizing/lecturing from me about it, aside from possibly an opinion on the taste. How about the same courtesy?
I hate how much trouble it is to find skim, NON-FAT milk in this country. Only the biggest marts ever have it. |
