Almond milk and soy milk are the most common alternatives people choose instead of cow milk. What is strange is that only a few people will choose goat milk. 65% of people worldwide would rather choose goat milk over cow milk but that’s not the case in America. The reason behind this is that Americans don’t like the taste of goat milk and they claim it tastes kind of funny.
Dr. Kate Morrison, co-founder of Kabrita claims that people should really start using goat milk. She’s a naturopathic doctor who found that goat milk has helped many patients struggling with intestinal problems. She even started giving her son goat milk, when he didn’t respond well to cow milk and that’s how she came up with the idea to build a company that offers goat’s milk products for children.
People who are sensitive to cow’s milk will really enjoy goat milk because it’s easier to digest and gentler on the stomach. Goat milk contains more medium chained and short chained fatty acids that are easily digested in the intestines.
Goat milk contains different type of proteins than cow milk and that type is easier to digest. Goat milk also contains a smaller percentage of lactose and it’s more similar to mother’s milk than cow’s milk. That’s why Dr. Morrison strongly recommends using goat milk for toddlers.
Dr. Morisson knows that goat milk is not a popular choice because people think that it tastes like goat cheese, musty and strong. The truth is you just need to get used to the taste.
