Taboos of drinking goat milk

1. Use a double-layer pot or a water-bath to boil goat milk, with water in the outer pot and milk in the inner pot. If it is steamed at high temperature for a long time, it will cause precipitation in the goat milk, reducing its nutritional value. In addition, do not add sugar while cooking goat milk. Add sugar after the goat milk is added.

2. Do not cook goat milk and soy milk together, because the trypsin and inhibitors contained in soy milk can stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and inhibit the activity of pancreatic protein. This substance can only be destroyed by high-temperature cooking. However, high-temperature cooking of goat milk will reduce its nutritional value.

3. Don’t drink goat milk every other meal, especially in summer. If the goat milk is opened and left for a long time, bacteria will multiply rapidly. We must pay attention to hygiene and it is best to cook only as much as you can drink each time. The nutritional value of repeatedly cooked goat milk will be greatly reduced.
