About Cheese, cheddar, nonfat or fat free
Nonfat cheddar removes essentially all of the milkfat, and the result is a dramatically different profile from full-fat cheese: 157 calories per 100 grams with virtually no fat, yet the highest protein of the cheddar variants at 32.1 grams. Removing fat also raises the relative water content to 57 percent and the sodium to 1,000 milligrams, the most concentrated among these cheeses. Calcium remains very high at 893 milligrams and phosphorus at 484 milligrams, since those minerals stay with the protein fraction rather than the fat. Vitamin A drops sharply to 60 micrograms because the fat-soluble vitamins leave with the milkfat. The near elimination of fat is what defines this product.
