American Pediatrics Association

[Guest guest]

The American Pediatrics Association recommends no child under the age of 12

months have cow milk. A recently published study from New Zealand confirmed

earlier reports that consumption of cow milk by children was correlated to the

incidence of insulin dependent diabetes. Data from ten countries where people

regularly drank cow milk were Goat Milk Contains Twice the Healthful Medium

Chain Fatty Acids In comparison to cow milk, goat milk contains twice the

content of medium chain fatty acids, such as capric and caprylic acids. These

fatty acids are highly antimicrobial. They are so powerful, that authorities had

to devise different tests for the presence of antibiotics in goat milk. The

fatty acids killed the bacteria used to test for the presence of antibiotics in

cow milk. Capric and caprylic acids are used today in dietary supplements to

inhibit the growth of Candida albicans and other yeast species. Medium chain

fatty acids are often called " the fats that act like carbohydrates " . They are

immune and energy enhancing.
