Animal milk is a complex food composed of about 87% water , along with proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals . Milk proteins are of high quality and are easily absorbed by the body. In addition, they are essential for the growth and repair of tissues.
Fats are saturated , present in greater quantities in cow's milk, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated , in goat's and sheep's milk. The carbohydrates present are in the form of lactose , a disaccharide that can be difficult to digest in some individuals, causing symptoms such as bloating, flatulence and diarrhea. Finally vitamins A, D and B12 and minerals , calcium, phosphorus and potassium.
The most consumed animal milk in the world is cow 's milk, but it can also be produced by other species, including goats, sheep, mares and donkeys. Goat's and sheep's milk are easier to digest and have a richer and more decisive flavor. Horse's milk is the least common, but has a sweeter and more delicate flavor, recommended for infants.
The healthiness of animal milk is a debate that continues among nutrition experts. Animal milk can provide calcium and vitamin D, but it can also cause problems such as lactose intolerance or allergies to milk proteins. Additionally, there are possible risks associated with animal milk consumption, such as type 1 diabetes and heart disease. It is important to consult a doctor or nutritionist to evaluate whether animal milk is suitable for your diet.
The presence of hormones and antibiotics in animal milk can also cause negative effects on human health and lead to drug resistance. For this reason, for a good decade now, alternatives such as vegetable milk have existed, among which the most popular are soy, oat, rice and almond.
