"TAKE IT GENTLY"
If you are looking for an alternative to cow milk, then why not try goat milk? Here are some good reasons:

Nanny Goat Lane goat milk is "gentle"
Due to the unique fat and protein structure of goat milk, Nanny Goat Lane provides an alternative to other types of milk.

Nanny Goat Lane goat milk is a natural milk
Nanny Goat Lane is a natural milk, with all nutrients are naturally contained within the milk. Nanny Goat Lane is a source of high quality protein, and a good source of calcium, important for strong bone growth for all ages.

Nanny Goat Lane goat milk has some advantages over cow milk
Goat milk lacks the beta-casein A1 variant which is common in cow milk, and which has been associated with diabetes and heart disease. Also, cow milk has high levels of alpha-S1-casein, which can cause cow milk to form a harsher curd in the stomach.

Other alternatives are not actually "milk"
By definition, "milk" comes from mammals. Other so-called "milks" from plant or vegetable sources are not actually "milk". Furthermore they do not naturally contain many of the important nutrients, and these must be added to the products as additional ingredients. So what may be perceived as natural and healthy is in fact a highly processed product.
