Goat milk has small molecules, thus making it more easily digestible than cow milk. It is the closest nutritional alternative to mother's milk, if breastfeeding is not possible. Goat milk contains naturally occuring acidophilus (the good stuff in yogurt), which is greatly beneficial to a healthy digestive environment.

I know children plagued by continual ear infections who are free from those afflictions if they consistently consume goat milk. A woman who had received a diagnosis of osteoporosis successfully reversed the condition with two years of raw goat milk kefir added to her diet.

rnOften, people who think they are lactose intolerant really are cow milk intolerant or can't consume the emulsifiers used in cow milk products. My adult brother couldn't tolerate pasteurized homogenized cow milk, but raw cow milk was fine. One of our children tested intolerant of goat milk. After three chiropractic treatments to desensitize her, she could again consume goat milk.

Raw goat milk tastes much like raw cow milk, but with more body. Keeping goat milk cold prevents it from developing a strong flavor.
