Goat milk has 13% less lactose than cow
milk, and 41% less than human milk.

goat milk very easy to digest. Babies do extremely well on goat milk
formulas, when a mother does not nurse her own baby.

and buffering properties, making it an ideal convalescent diet for people
with digestive upsets or ulcers.

metabolic ability to limit cholesterol deposits in body tissues.

butter, are pure white because all the yellow beta-carotene is already
converted to colorless pure vitamin A.

Goat milk and cow milk taste about the
same.
