Milk and Health

Milk and milk products have been used as necessary foods for man since the dawn of civilization. From historical experience, these foods have long been regarded as the best corner stone on which to build nourishing diets. History has shown that the people who have subsisted on diets containing a large proportion of milk and its products were usually healthy, vigorous and well-developed. Milk users were reported to be stronger and live longer. At present, milk and its products are a daily requirement for the populations in most parts of the world. From the equator, where the Arabs still use camel's milk, to the far North, where the Eskimos and Laplanders use reindeer and caribou milk, this product is the number one food item in human diet. Although the cow and goat have been bred for milk production and are best adapted as a source of milk for man, other domestic animals are used for this purpose, including the water buffalo and zebu in India and Central Asia, the yak in Asia, the lama in South America, the sheep in Asia and Europe, and the mare in Asia.

Thousands of scientific studies have shown that milk and its products have exceptional nutritional values. No other single food in the world can compare with milk in this respect. Thus, milk is recognized all over the world as "nature's most nearly perfect food".

According to our present knowledge of nutrition, six basic essential nutrients are necessary for good health and well-being of persons of all ages. These are:

• proteins substances which build muscles, repair and build new tissue and organs, make enzymes, hormones;

• carbohydrates such as sugars, starches which supply energy;

• fats or lipids which supply energy and fat-soluble vitamins;

• minerals which are essential for bone and teeth formation, blood clotting, enzymes action;

• vitamins, compounds which permit the effi­cient utilization of the other food nutrients, and

• water, the universal solvent.

In each class of these six basic nutrients, there are many specific nutrients (at least 60) which have been found to be essential in human nutrition. Milk and its products contain all of these specific essential nutrients required for good health. Some are present in much larger amounts than others, in relation to human needs.
