A simple Internet search reveals that many people question why humans drink the milk of other animals. But is the belief that people shouldn’t drink cow, sheep or goat’s milk consistent with human history? Wit
The evolution of milk, the key infant nutrient, is analyzed using a novel thermodynamic molecular method. The method is general, and it has many advantages compared to conventional molecular dynamics simulations. It is much simpler, and it connects amino acid sequences directly to function, often...
When a single genetic mutation first let ancient Europeans drink milk, it set the stage for a continental upheaval
Milk proponents are quick to point out that whole cow’s milk is an excellent source of many macronutrients and micronutrients, including protein, fat, carbs, vitamins and minerals. The convenience of milk’s complete nutritional profile, combined with its taste, are two of the reasons why it’...
To truly grasp the reasons behind this cautious approach, we must acknowledge that an infant’s digestive system is still developing. It may not possess the necessary enzymes to effectively process the proteins and components found in cow milk. Consequently, introducing cow milk to an infant can ...
Milk is nature's buffet for babies, providing all the nutrition a mammalian infant needs for early development outside the womb. Cow's milk provides a range of nutrients for humans, although intolerance to lactose — a difficult-to-digest sugar — is a common affliction. Milk consists of ...
Mineral-rich springs, healing botanicals and fresh mountain air are part of the enduring appeal, as are resort spas that continue to refine traditional therapies, such as whey milk baths, fragrant arolla pine saunas and silver quartzite stone massages. Secluded, yet easy to reach from majo...
Measuring excess animal “byproducts” is an ongoing ethical debate. For instance, what’s considered surplus eggs from hens? Or when havecalves drunk enough milk from the mother cow? It’s safe to assume that most small scale and backyard beekeepers leave some honey for their bees. However...
after we are weaned. Cows milk has the perfect ratio of fat, protein, calcium, hormones for her offspring–but not for humans. Estrogens are rampant in cows’ milk and eggs, among other animal proteins. You have absolutely no need for those cow hormones, as saturated fats and higher estrog...
In fact, many studies have looked at the effects of soy infant formula and concluded that consumption of soy intake formula as an infant is not associated with earlier onset of puberty compared with infants who consumed cow's milk based formulas (ref, ref). A Note on Soy Allergy In the ...
