I pulled the numbers from http://nutritiondata.self.com/
Few things to note:
1) camel milk has less total fat
2) camel milk has higher calcium, sodium, and potassium
3) camel milk has less phosphorus (calcium/phos. ratio in cow milk 1.24 while in camel milk 2.37!)
4) camel milk has more iron
5) camel milk has more vitamin C
All these are peat approved except point 4. However, Ray has said the following:
“A person would be able to live for a long time on two or three liters of either milk or 4-6 pounds of potatoes per day. The milk drinker would eventually need to supplement iron, the potato eaters would need to supplement vitamin A, possibly B12, but both of them are nearly perfect foods.” So it seems if you opt to live on camel milk alone, you do not need to supplement iron, which might make point 4 not that big of a deal :) My grand grand fathers used to live on camel milk alone in the desert for many months a year.
What are your thoughts about camel milk? If you have the chance, would you try it? I read online that camel milk has more insulin which helps diabetics people. I don't know if having higher insulin in the milk is good. Also, people in the western world have been using it lately to treat autistic children. It gives less digestion troubles than cow milk and helps rebuild strong stomach linings.
