      Milk

      Milk features in our diet in many forms – butter, cream, cheese and yogurt, or as a drink in various ways. In the Western world, dairy farming is an extremely important industry and milk is plentiful and cheap. It is not unusual for adults to drink at least ½ litre (1 pint) per day and children more.

      Milk is added to products to enrich them. Components of milk can also be used in manufacturing. Lactose (milk sugar) is widely used as a filler in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals. Caseinate (milk protein) is valuable as an enricher and is used to increase the nutritional value of slimming products and cheeses. Whey is used in the manufacture of margarines usually to make them creamy.

      What milk provides

      Milk contributes carbohydrate, fat, protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin B₂, and other vitamins and minerals to our diet. It is a liquid food and therefore easy to add to food intake, and it will also mix into other foods easily. To replace milk in the diet other carbohydrate, fat and protein foods such as potatoes, cooking oil, meat and fish can be substituted. Cod liver oil or fish oils will provide Vitamin A. For Vitamin B₂ (Riboflavin) liver is a good source. Calcium can be replaced by Calcium gluconate, Dolomite, B₁₃ Calcium (calcium orotate) orbonemeal taken as a supplement. This calcium supplementation is especially important in children’s diets as it is necessary for the growth of strong bones, teeth and nails.
