What We Eat And What Happens to It
A detailed study on milk digestion by Philip B Hawk, PLD, explores how different milks affect curd formation and digestion. It compares raw, boiled, and pasteurized milks, notes curd sizes, rates of digestion, and the influence of fat content, while arguing raw milk yields larger, tougher curds and boiled milk digests faster. The piece also examines sour milk, digestion aids, and the impact of adding bread, salt, or cream soups on milk digestion.
