Raw goat`s milk offers many benefits
Baku, March 28 (AZERTAC). In western civilization, most milk consumption is in the form of pasteurized and homogenized cow`s milk. Although such milk is portrayed as being healthy, it actually can lead to impaired health, including allergies, tooth decay, colic in babies, arthritis, heart disease, and even cancer. A much better choice is raw milk, and, though generally more difficult to find, the best raw milk of all is raw goat`s milk. As the Journal of American Medicine states, "Goat`s milk is the most complete food known."
Goat`s milk is the most highly consumed milk in many other parts of the world and it is delicious as well as extremely nutritious. Goat`s milk has vitamins, minerals, trace elements, electrolytes, enzymes, proteins, and fatty acids that are easily assimilated by the body. It is interesting to note that goat`s milk is digested in 20 minutes; whereas, it can take up to 24 hours to digest cow`s milk.
Pasteurization and homogenization are not what nature intended. These processes destroy valuable natural enzymes and nutrients that our bodies utilize to sustain health. They also alter food chemicals and make fats rancid.
Cow`s milk and goat`s milk differ greatly in their nutritional composition. Goat`s milk does not contain the complex protein that stimulates allergic reactions, making it less allergic. It also helps to boost the immune system. Goat`s milk alkalizes the digestive system and also helps to increase the ph level in the blood stream. Furthermore, goat`s milk does not produce mucus and will not worsen allergic respiratory conditions such as asthma.
