What it is

Milk is a nutrient-rich liquid food produced by the mammary glands of mammals. In the US, the term 'milk' typically refers to cow's milk. Cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization.

Health notes

While generally considered safe and nutritious, some individuals may experience digestive issues due to lactose intolerance or have allergies to milk proteins.
