11 Reasons Why Goat’s Milk Rules

Have you tried goat’s milk? If not, you are missing out on a number of healthy benefits! Here’s why goat’s milk may be much better for you than cow’s milk.

Cow’s milk is one of America’s most commonly consumed beverages, but it may also be one of the main reasons for many of America’s most common digestive complaints, including gas, bloating, and other types of indigestion.

According to the interesting article below, “The most common form of milk used on a global scale, it is estimated that around three fourths of the milk consumed worldwide comes from goats, not cows. And most of the people drinking this milk are not fat and do not have allergies or digestive complaints.”

If you’re worried about things like antibiotics, growth hormones, GMO feeds, and other issues experienced in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) – or factory farms – you may have become leery of drinking milk, and with good reason.

Good, organic goat’s milk may be harder to find, but it may also be a much healthier alternative to cow’s milk.

Here are 11 healthy benefits that have been attributed to goat’s milk:

Goat’s milk offers a wide variety of health benefits, with very few of the negative side effects of drinking regular cow milk.

1. Natural Anti-Inflammatory

Some research suggests that one of the main benefits of goat milk is that it may hold anti-inflammatory capacities.

This is another reason why it is easier for people with bowel inflammation to drink goat’s milk, instead of cow’s milk.

2. Environmentally Friendly

Goats requires far less space and food than cows. Typically, you can comfortably raise six goats on the same acreage as two cows.

3. Metabolic agent

Studies done at the USDA and Prairie View A&M University, link goat’s milk to an increased ability to metabolize iron and copper….

4. Bio-availability

Another main health benefit of goat milk, is that it is closer to human mother’s milk than cow’s milk is…thus, it is easier to digest and assimilate in the human body.

5. Lower in Fat

6. High in Fatty Acids

While cow’s milk has about seventeen percent fatty acids, goat’s milk averages thirty five percent fatty acids, making it more nutritionally wholesome. In fact, up to 50% of people with lactose intolerance to cow’s milk find that they can easily digest goat’s milk, especially if it is raw.

7. Calcium-rich

…Goat milk has traditionally been used in medicinal cultures to nourish and regenerate an over-taxed nervous system. Goat’s milk is also extremely nutrient dense. It has almost 35% of your daily needs for calcium in one cup.

Extremely high in riboflavin, just one cup of goat’s milk offers 20.0% of our daily needs. Add to that high amounts of phosphorous, Vitamin B12, protein and potassium. In fact, Ghandi himself restored his own health after extremely long periods of fasting through drinking raw goat’s milk.

10. Less Toxic than Cow’s Milk

Whereas most cow’s milk is pumped full of bovine growth hormones as well as a substance known as bovine somatotropin, a hormone specific for increasing milk production in an unnatural way, goat’s are rarely treated with these substances. Because of its use on the fringes of big agriculture, goat’s milk is not only more nutritious for you, but also less toxic.

11. May Boost Immune System

Goat’s milk has the trace mineral, selenium, a key essential mineral in keeping the immune system strong and functioning correctly.
