New studies on goats' milk show it is more beneficial to health than ...( al or double calcium content in the die...)

al or double calcium content in the diet favours digestive and metabolic utilisation of iron, calcium and phosphorus and their deposit in target organs - parts of the organism to which these minerals are preferably sent - involved in their homeostatic regulation.

According to this researcher, all these conclusions reveal that regular consumption of goats milk a natural food with highly beneficial nutritional characteristics - has positive effects on mineral metabolism, recovery from ferropenic anaemia and bone mineralisation in rats. In addition, and unlike observations in cows milk, its calcium enrichment does not interfere in the bioavailability of the minerals studied.

Although there is no doubt that these findings may be a base for further in depth study of the multiple health benefits of goats milk, the UGR [http://www.ugr.es] researcher warns that studies in humans are still required in order to confirm the findings obtained in rats and to promote goats milk consumption both in the general population and in the population affected by nutritional ferropenic anaemia and pathologies related to bone demineralisation. Part of the results of this research has been published in the prestigious scientific journals International Dairy Journal and Journal Dairy Science.
