Milk is rich in nutrition and contains many essential elements for human body. Whether you are a baby or not, you should actually drink some milk every day.
Apart from the most common milk, goat’s milk is the most concerned thing. Some businesses even say goat’s milk is the “king of milk”.
Is it true? Today Dr. Clove is here to reveal the secret.
Goat’s milk is better than milk?
Compared with milk, goat’s milk is of course expensive.
Sheep breeding costs are high and milk production is small, which naturally makes it more expensive. However, what is good about this not cheap goat’s milk?
From the perspective of nutritional composition, there are mainly two points:
-
The protein content of goat’s milk (raw milk) is only half that of milk, and its fat and carbohydrate are slightly higher than that of milk.
-
Compared with milk, the protein and fat particles in goat’s milk are smaller and evenly distributed, which is easier to digest and absorb for people with poor gastrointestinal function.
However, the goat’s milk we buy in supermarkets is usually prepared in a standardized way, which is similar to the nutritional composition of milk.
Therefore, we don’t need to score high or low, we can drink whichever flavor we like.
Drinking goat’s milk is not easy to be allergic and is more suitable for infants?
Milk (products) is one of the most common allergens, of which S-casein and-lactoglobulin are the main culprits causing allergy.
Although the casein content in goat’s milk is less than that in milk, it still exists, so there is no scientific basis for the statement that eating goat’s milk is less susceptible to allergy than eating milk.
In fact, the contents of various proteins, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals in infant formula milk are accurately calculated and blended. In other words, there is not much difference between formula goat milk (powder) and formula milk (powder). As long as it meets the standards of infant formula food, it can be drunk.
If the baby has milk allergy, it is better to choose special hydrolyzed protein formula or soybean-based infant formula.
Finally, I would like to emphasize once again that breast milk is always the best food for infants, and none of them.
Buffalo milk, camel milk, mare milk… are all better than milk?
Compared with other milk, buffalo milk has the most dry goods, the highest protein and fat content, and of course high energy.
However, it is more suitable for yogurt or cheese. For example, Mozzarella cheese, which can pull out very long filaments on pizza, is fermented from buffalo milk.
The composition of camel milk, donkey milk and mare milk is similar to that of milk. Although the content of individual nutrients is slightly different, the difference can be ignored on the whole.
In fact, the content of minerals and vitamins in milk is not fixed, which is related to many factors such as animal growth environment, physical condition, season, feed, etc.
In other words, if a cow eats well, lives warm and is in good health, its milk is not necessarily worse than that of a buffalo who sleeps rough.
Therefore, we don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy some nutrients because there are more. The money saved can be eaten with meat, eggs and vegetables. A balanced diet can achieve the same effect.
Speaking of which, you may also see that milk, goat’s milk, buffalo’s milk, mare’s milk… No matter what kind of milk, it can provide the human body with rich high-quality protein and calcium, as well as a variety of vitamins and bioactive ingredients.
As long as you like, you can choose which is pleasing to the eye. However, if Dr. Clove is allowed to choose, it must be the milk and related dairy products with the highest cost performance.
Drinking what milk is not the most important thing, the key is to insist on drinking milk every day to be better for your health.
< < Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents > > It is recommended that everyone eat 300 g of dairy products every day, which is about one cup (300 mL) of milk, or the same amount of yogurt, milk powder, cheese and other products.
