(redirected from low-fat milk)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.09 sec.

milk

Secretion of the mammary glands of female mammals, with which they suckle their young (during lactation). Over 85% is water, the remainder comprising protein, fat, lactose (a sugar), calcium, phosphorus, iron, and vitamins. The milk of cows, goats, and sheep is often consumed by humans, but regular drinking of milk after infancy is principally a Western practice.
