Goat's Milk


There are many studies linking bad health as well as congestion to the over-consumption of cow's milk, especially cow-milk laden with hormones like the majority of milk you buy from a standard grocery store.  If you are going to drink animal milk I recommend organic milk regardless if it is from a cow or another animal.  A milk that is far superior to cow milk in nutrients is organic Goat's Milk.

One glass of Goat's Milk contains:

Goat's Milk is also the type of milk most commonly drank by the ancient Israelites.  The "Promised Land" was known as "a land flowing with milk and honey."  Milk has a historic reputation for being filling and giving calcium, protein and nutrients--- milk from a cow just may not be a top choice for that because of the high sugar and negatives that weigh against the positives.  Goat's Milk is easier to digest than cow's milk and is lower in lactose (milk sugar.)
