Abstract

Milk has been historically recognized as having great nutritional value;its high nutrient density per energy makes it useful for individuals recovering from malnutrition among others. Milk is composed of an excellent ratio of essential amino acids, with an amino acid score of 100, and enhances the protein content when served with a meal. Additionally, not only is milk rich in calcium, but the absorption rate of calcium contained in the meal increases when milk is served with a meal. Instead of consuming nutritional supplements to make up for a lack of nutrients in the diet, Milk is a representative food that highlights the nutritional value of taking one food in combination with other foods. Moreover, milk costing as little as 100 contains high nutrient density, making it an economically efficient food.
