Varieties of Milk奶的种类

Supermarkets now stock many different varieties of milk.超市出售各种奶制品，

The most common is still cow's milk,最常见的是牛奶。

but others include sheep and goat's milk, as well as a number of plant-based substitutes,including soya, rice, oat and almond milk.但其他人包括绵羊和山羊奶,以及一些植物性的替代品,包括大豆、大米、燕麦和杏仁牛奶。

Milk is generally distinguishable by its fat content.牛奶按脂肪含量划分，

Whole milk is relatively high in fat and certainly semi-skimmed and skimmed milk can be labelled as low-fat food.一般可分为全脂奶，半脂奶及脱脂奶。

Contrary to popular belief, lowering the fat content in milk does not affect the calcium content,so an adequate calcium intake can still be obtained from lower-fat dairy products.与流行的看法相反的是, 虽然脂肪含量的多少并不影响钙的含量，所以低脂肪奶制品仍然可以获得足够的钙摄入量。

However, low-fat milk contains less energy and lower amounts of fat-soluble vitamins and isn't suitable for children under two years.但是脱脂奶的能量较低，且脂溶性维生素含量较低，不适合两岁以下的孩子。

Some supermarkets have now started selling milk with almost half the fat of semi-skimmed milk.But it retains a more creamy flavour.一些超市会销售脂肪含量为半脱脂奶一半的牛奶，

This is a good option for those people who want to lower the amount of fat they're consuming but don't like the taste of skimmed milk.这对于想要降低食物中脂肪含量而不喜欢脱脂奶味道的人士来说是个不错的选择。
