Recently, Dr. Oz was featured on Oprah. Among the many helpful tips he gave he had this to say about goat milk.
“Many Sardinians also drink goat’s milk, which is high in calcium and good for your heart. “Plus, researchers believe it could protect against Alzheimer’s and heart disease,”
“Not only is goat’s milk healthy, it’s easier for your stomach to digest and is also good for people who are lactose intolerant. “It has tryptophan, that same sort of mellowing agent that turkey has,” Dr. Oz says. “The fat particles in goat milk are much smaller than in cow milk, so you don’t have to mix it up. (homogenize the milk) And when you mix up fat globules, (as in cow milk) in some people it makes enzymes that irritate your stomach.”
It looks like Dr. Oz is agreeing with what we have been telling people for years. Goat milk key to our health!

I would take it one step further and say that RAW goat milk is best. In fact, raw dairy & goat milk is better than pasteurized anything.
I agree Jennifer. If you can find a safe raw source, go for it.
When I first tried goat milk, it had a funny taste, but as I started drinking it more and more, it didn’t taste any different from cow milk. I LOVE all goat products, milk and cheese, yum !!
With regards to taste, just don’t be expecting it to taste like the cows’ milk you are probably used to. Now that I’v been drinking goats’ milk for a while, I find cows’ milk somewhat bland in comparison.
There is no better bedtime beverage, in my opinion, than a mug of warm goats’ milk with a bit of honey.
Btw, it is probably more expensive in the US due to the low demand for it, and thus the smaller number of dairy goats. In countries where goats milk is more popular, and dairy goats more common, the price is lower and you can find it in ordinary supermarkets.
I have a problem with a lot of sinus congestion, sore throats and mucus produced from cows milk, so I have been cow milk dairy free for years and it has has been very helpful. i love the taste of goat cheese,from am afraid of eating too much of it for fear of getting sick. I would appreciate feedback on this important issue. I am also glutin free because I was told I have celiac, but it has never been proven. Thank you!
