BBC - Camel's milk could hit UK shelves

Camel's milk could become the latest super food to hit the shelves of health food shops and upmarket retailers.

The United Nations is calling for the milk, which is rich in vitamins B and C and has 10 times more iron than cow's milk, to be sold to the West.

Camel's milk, which is slightly saltier than traditional milk, is drunk widely across the Arab world and is well suited to cheese production.

Harrods and Fortnum & Mason are said to be interested in the product.

As well as its high mineral and vitamin content, research has suggested that antibodies in camel's milk can help fight diseases like cancer, HIV/Aids Alzheimer's and hepatitis C.

What's next - moose milk? Penguin milk? :biggrin:

Sounds nasty, but so does "milk" in general from any donor, so not much difference there.

I can't look.
 
It contains 10 times more Iron, but is that necessary though?

Also, it's saltier. Is that really beneficial to the west with heart disease issues?

I bet most people hit their daily sodium limit at breakfast time!
 
Is it a good thing that it has 10 times the iron?... Maybe for women..?
 
Sounds like an alright thing to drink, if you think any milk is an alright thing to drink. Penguin milk might be... interesting... though...
