Goat's Milk

Laurie asked about Goat's milk and CLA. Yes, Goat's milk does contain CLA as long as the goats like cows are fed grass. The chemistry is that part of the grass is transformed in the ruminants stomach (for those who may not remember, ruminants have several stomachs.) So the key ingredients for CLA and ruminant's digestion fo grass.

This is one reason it is important to eat free range beef, lamb or mutton. We as humans are able to eat the meat of these animals and obtain the CLA we require.

If you think about this, wild game is obviously the best. Makes me feel a whole lot better remembering that I was raised on wild game. But then, when I was young, the cattle were all free range.
