Health and healing benefits:
Immune system:
A major part of the fat content is lauric acid (also found in mothers’ milk), which has been shown to have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties.
Anemia:

Hair/Skin:
Vitamin E and the high fat content moisturize hair and skin and can promote hair growth.
Glycemic load: 5

Goat’s Milk
Worldwide, a larger amount of goat’s milk is consumed than cow’s milk. Many children in the United States have an allergy to cow’s milk. This allergic reaction is caused by a protein known as alpha-s1-casein—goat’s milk contains significantly less of this protein. Goat’s milk also tends to be more easily digestible as it contains very little lactose. However, those who are lactose intolerant should check with a nutritionist to determine whether goat’s milk is right for them. It’s also a good source of essential amino acids, the fundamental building blocks of our tissues, important to the development of the brain and nervous system, and the singular component of protein.

Soy Milk
Soy milk is made by grinding soy beans and mixing with boiling water. It’s high in health-boosting essential fatty acids, fibre, protein, minerals, and vitamins. A good lactose-free alternative to cow’s milk, it contains no cholesterol and is higher in antioxidants. It’s also a good source of bone-strengthening calcium. Soy milk has been associated with weight loss and reducing the risk of cancer. It also contains phytoestrogens, which have been linked to alleviating post-menopausal symptoms.

Yogurt, Plain
Yogurt contains essential amino acids, the fundamental building blocks of our tissues, important to the development of the brain and nervous system, and the singular component of protein. It’s also a good source of probiotic micro-organisms, healthy bacteria that may be beneficial to the gut. Certain probiotics have been shown to help regulate immune function and improve gastrointestinal (GI) problems such as constipation, diarrhea, and irritable bowel syndrome. Yogurt is also rich in bone-building calcium and phosphorus. However, it is high in saturated fat, so enjoy in moderation.
