Buffalo milk has a higher composition of protein, carbohydrates, fat and calcium. It also offers a higher concentration of vitamins and minerals. Low-fat milk has a lower composition of fat but it may have additives that have been added to improve flavour. Low-fat milk is suitable for adults with heart problems and those on low fat diets. Whole cow’s milk provides all the nutrients but contains a high amount of saturated fat and cholesterol so should not be over consumed, especially for people with heart problems. Types of Milk While cow milk is the primary source of milk, there are now many non-dairy milks available in the market, such as almond milk, Coconut milk, Cashew milk, Soy milk, Hemp milk, Oat milk and rice milk. For those with allergies, rice milk is a good alternative as it is the least allergenic of all the non-dairy milks.
