Note that at least half of the Philippine population is lactose intolerant.
There are three chief sources of milk in the Philippines: cows, carabaos, and goats. Of these three animals, the goat is the least expensive to raise and its milk is the best for infants and children.
Goat’s milk is a natural alternative to cow milk and can be consumed by many Filipinos who suffer from cow milk allergies or sensitivity. Although goat milk, like cow’s milk and human milk, contains lactose, many Filipinos with lactose intolerance can drink goat milk without suffering the more serious side effects of milk sensitivity.
