Milk is an opaque white liquid produced by the mammary glands of mammals. It provides the primary source of nutrition for young mammals before they are able to digest other types of food. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many diseases in the baby. The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C. Cattle's milk has a pH ranging from 6.4 to 6.8, making it slightly acidic.William H. Bowen and Ruth A. Lawrence, , PEDIATRICS Vol. 116 No. 4 October 2005, pp. 921-926. pediatrics.aappublications.org.
