While milk is a valuable food for growing children, is must be free from impurities and pathogenic matter, which it may contain if the animals are housed under poor hygienic conditions. The quality and biological value of milk also depend upon the animals’ feed. Some farmers use excessive quantities of concentrated feed or artificial fertilisers for their fields. Milk produced by their cows is not 100 per cent safe and the consumer would be advised to boil it. Since in some countries there is still the danger of brucellosis, in this case, too, it would also be advisable to boil milk. However, if you are fortunate enough to live, or spend your holidays, in the mountains where the cows roam freely, no such safety measures will be needed and you can drink the milk without any hesitation or risk. Good pure milk and wholewheat bread, and of course vegetables and fruit and other natural, wholesome foods, are essential to good growth and health.
