Re: cow's milk vs goat's milk

[Guest guest]

Dear Sue,

I believed I could not tolerate cow's milk yogurt until I took a second

look at my reactions. I failed to see that I might be having a " die-off "

reaction (which I learned through this group!) and that yogurt speeds up

peristalsis...the movement of food through the intestines that leads to

regular bowel movements. I was initially upset because I thought, " Oh

no, it's back " believing the diarrhea had returned. I didn't realize I

was eating about 3 half cups of yogurt to start out with (should have

started slower) and it does have a " cleaning out " effect. I'm not saying

you are not experiencing intolerance but thought I'd share my experience

with you. I'm back to making yogurt but starting very slow (tsp a day

and working up).

Have a great day!

Best wishes,

Ronnie

It was explained earlier by Sheila, The molecules are different in

goat's milk and more digestible.

All of what Sheila wrote in that link would make so much sense and really common

sense is a big factor.

The milk of a cow has to feed a calf which will grow to be 4 times the size of a

human. The milk of a goat has to feed its calf which grows to about the same

size as a human therefore it would stand to reason that humans digest goat milk

far easier than cow milk.

• The fat in goat milk is in smaller globules. Smaller fat globules

provide a greater surface area for enzymes to break down the particles,

enabling easier digestion. In addition, goat milk lacks 'agglutinin', a

factor present in cow milk that makes fat globules in milk clump

together.

• Goat milk fat contains a significantly greater proportion of short

and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) than cow milk fat, which

contributes to more rapid digestion. Goat milk is higher in caproic

(C6), caprylic (C8), capric (C10), which total 16% in goat milk

(compared with 7% in cow milk). They have been used to treat

malabsorption symptoms, intestinal disorders, premature infant feeding

etc.

• Goat milk forms smaller, softer, more easily digested curds in the

infant stomach, which eases the digestive process. Goat milk, due to

absence or low levels of alpha-s1-casein, produces curds that are

weaker and less firm than cow milk.

• Goat milk has better buffering capacity than cow milk at the

pH-temperature conditions that exist in the stomach. This can be very

useful for those with gastric ulcers. Goat milk contains bio-active

factors such as insulin-like growth factor.
