Explanation

  • Skim milk is milk from which the cream (which has most of the fat) has been removed.

    Low-fat milk is milk from which some (but not all) of the cream has been removed.

    Whole milk is milk from which none of the cream has been removed.

    Soy milk is a milk-like drink made from soybeans.
  • skim milk とは、ほぼ全部の乳脂肪分が取り除かれた牛乳のことです。

    low-fat milk とは、全部ではありませんが、乳脂肪分が取り除かれた牛乳のことです。

    whole milk というと、乳脂肪分を取り除いていない牛乳をさします。

    soy milk は、大豆から作る、牛乳に似た飲み物のことです。
