Goat’s milk pulls off a major upset over cow’s milk, landing in the second spot. We referenced bioavailability in the cow’s milk section, and the nutrients found in goat’s milk are actually even more bioavailable to humans than those found in cow’s milk. Goat’s milk tends to be easier to digest, and even some lactose intolerant people can drink goat’s milk without any difficulty. Goat’s milk is also free of the spate of hormones and other medications that are often pumped into cows and which end up in their milk as a result. Aside from those positives, goat’s milk packs the same nutritional punch as cow’s milk, being high in fat, potassium, calcium, protein, and vitamin D. Liberte and Meyenberg are two major sellers of goat’s milk.
