Goat's Milk, A Great Alternative!

Many people living with crohn's disease have said that goat's milk is much better for them than cow's milk. Goat's milk  has smaller protein and fat molecules making it easier to digest. Also, goat's milk is more similar to human milk. It contains bioactive substances which stop the growth of harmful organisms. It doesn't stimulate an immune response and therefore there is no mucous. It has the highest source of selenium and it is alkaline and does not produce acid. Because the digestion is easier, the lactose passes through quicker and therefore it doesn't have time to ferment.
Look through this chart of comparison of goat and cow milk and consider it. I never tried it myself, but it is supposed to taste good and if it is really better for you- Why Not?
