Dairy Products
Calories, Cholesterol and Fat

With all the talk about milk and other dairy products, I thought it was time to discuss the differences in Calories, Cholesterol and Fat in dairy products. Check out these facts when deciding if you want to use that heavy cream or half & half. Or better yet, do you use light sour cream on your baked potato or do you use regular sour cream?

	CALORIES	CHOLESTEROL	FAT
Heavy Cream	821	326 MG	80 g
Whole milk	150	33 MG	8 g
2% Milk	121	18 mg	4.7 g
Skim Milk	86	4 mg	.4 g
Sour Cream	512	trace	48 g
Light Sour Cream	400	0 mg	32 g
Mayonnaise	1600	80 mg	176 g
Light Mayonaisse	800	80 mg	80 g

I hope this food for thought is helpful when you are doing your meal and menu planning.
