  Milk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Human milk is fed to infants through breastfeeding, either directly or by the female expressing her milk to be saved and fed later.
Cow's milk is lower in sugar and higher in protein, and is composed of about 3.5% to 6.5% milkfat, 4% to 8.5% milk solids and about 88% water.
The touted high protein content of cow’s milk can also cause difficulties in that the animal protein contained in milk acts to block the absorption of calcium and can cause the human body to produce antibodies which are believed to damage the pancreas, leading to the development of type 1 diabetes.
