The Amazing Benefits of Goat’s Milk

Are you looking for a cow-milk substitute that is not homogenized or pasteurized, easier to digest, and has even more nutritious vitamins? Goat’s milk is very high in nutritional benefits and could in some respects be considered healthier than cow’s milk! Did you know that “65% of the milk consumption worldwide is from goat’s milk”? It could be reasoned that because goats take up less space than cows and do not need to be fed as much, they are also more environmentally friendly.

Some Benefits of Goat’s Milk:

• Goat’s milk contains less lactose (a type of sugar/carbohydrate), making it easier to digest for folks who are lactose-intolerant.
• Since goat’s milk is not pasteurized, it also still contains lactase, which is an enzyme that helps to digest the lactose – which is also great news for those with lactose-intolerance!
• Contains the same level of calcium as cow’s milk, and higher levels of vitamins B-6, B-12, A, and potassium.
• Does not need to be homogenized. The fat molecules are smaller in goat’s milk, which means they are able to remain evenly distributed in the milk rather than separating to the top as in cow’s milk, avoiding the need to be homogenized.
  • Homogenization is a process which prevents the milk’s cream from rising to the top and separating from the liquid; but the process also emits free-radicals, which can cause a lot of damage your body, even your DNA!
