---------------------- Is there a nutritious difference between goat's milk and cow's milk?There are published reasons why goats milk is a more digestible
food when compared to cows milk. One major reason may be because
goats milk contains higher levels of Medium chain triglycerides,
(6-12 carbon length) than cows milk. (1) Medium chain triglycerides
(MCT) have been used in specialized diets for humans with malabsorption
problems and in parenteral or intravenous nutrition. (2), (3) MCT
absorption and conversion to energy requires fewer steps and enzymes
than do long chain triglycerides. (2) Absorption of MCT's can take
place even when the body is devoid of certain enzymes necessary
for long chain triglyceride transport into the blood stream.

Metal deflects the heat and will slow down the boiling process.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of the salty taste?You can add several slices of raw potato and let it boil five or six minutes.

The lettuce will absorb the grease. Once the leaf is coated, throw it away. If you have the time, refrigerate soups or stews until the fat hardens on the top. Remove the fat with a spoon and discard. For more helpful hints, remedies and articles, see our resource page I'm allergic to cow milk (or soy). Can I drink goat milk?Goat milk contains only trace amounts of the major protein in cow milk to which many people are allergic (alpha s-1 casein). If you are sensitive to this protein, goat milk may be well tolerated. Soy sensitivity is also a problem for some people. Always check with your doctor prior to using goat milk if you have severe cow milk protein allergy. Goat milk does not contain soy proteins. It also has a predominance of short and medium chain fatty acids (vs. the long-chain fatty acids, predominant in cow milk).For more helpful hints, remedies and articles, see our resource page I have a sensitive stomach. Is goat milk good for digestive problems?Goat milk is not a medicine, but a wholesome food like cow milk, with the added advantage of being more easily digested because of its softer curds and smaller, more easily assimilated fat globules. As a result, goat milk often agrees with sensitive or weak digestive systems.For more helpful hints, remedies and articles, see our resource page I've been told to stay away from dairy products and lactose. Does goat milk have lactose in it?Yes. All natural mammalian milks, including human milk, contain lactose (milk sugar). However, many people diagnosed as lactose intolerant people are able to tolerate goat milk. It has been suggested that the reason for this lies in its superior digestibility. Quickly passing through the digestive tract, goat milk leaves less undigested residue behind in the colon to ferment and cause the unpleasant symptoms of lactose intolerance. Goat milk also has a natural buffering quality to it, making it an excellent choice for those with ulcers and/or sensitive or weak digestive systems. For more helpful hints, remedies and articles,
see our resource page How is goat milk different from cow milk in nutritive content?Goat milk is uniquely different from cow milk in the concentration and forms of its nutrients. Compared with cow milk, goat milk contains 13% more calcium, 25% more vitamin B6, and 47% more vitamin A. It is also higher in chloride, copper, and manganese.For more helpful hints, remedies and articles, see our resource page |
