Here is a milk article verbatim and a true story according to the magazine:

Goat Milk and the Pope

By R.R. Graham

American Dairy Goat News (August 1946)

In 1878 at the death of Pope Pius IX, an even number of Cardinals voted for

several months trying to select a successor but the vote was always a tie.

The voting Cardinals are supposed to not have any communication with one

another but after months and months, some grapevine message united them to

elect to Popedom their fellow Cardinal Pecci. Now the reason was because

Pecci was an invalid and surely they reasoned, could not live more than a

few months, six at the most. After his death, there would be left 63 of

them, an uneven number and there would be no tie in electing a new Pope.

So, Pecci was elected and assumed the title of Leo XIII. The three

physicians of the Pope examined Pecci thoroughly and after a consultation,

put him on a goat milk diet. He made such vast improvements that he turned

to goat food almost exclusively, taking not only milk but goat butter, goat

cheese and goat meat.

In 1903, having been Pope for 25 years, the old Pope died at the age of 93.

Meantime, he had buried every one of the Cardinals who had elected him in

1878!
