Goat Cheese a Healthy Choice
Kauai Garden Island News reports that goat cheese and goat milk are a healthier choice than cow’s milk. In comparison, goat cheese is easier on our digestive system and lower in calories, cholesterol, and fat. Goat cheese also contains calcium, protein, vitamin A, phosphorus, vitamin K, thiamin, and niacin.
The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine states that goat’s milk is easier to digest than cow’s milk because it’s protein composition is similar to human milk. Goat milk “contains beta-caseins as dominant proteins. Cow milk contains alpha S-1 casein, which is suspected to be the culprit behind digestion difficulties.”
Note: Feta cheese is also a healthy choice because it’s made from goat’s and/or sheep’s milk.
