The Story of Milk

"The Story of Milk" by Johan D. Frederiksen is a scientific exploration focused on the world of dairy. It examines the details of farm operations that impact milk's quality and amount. The book emphasizes the importance of milk to human nutrition, and is written in an informative way. Frederiksen starts by explaining why milk matters in our diet and provides a look at its historical use. Then the publication describes different types of cows used for milk production, outlining important qualities of each. It also contains best dietary practices for cattle, with an emphasis on how this affects milk. Early parts of the book show what makes up milk, such as fats, proteins and minerals, while also explaining ways to test the quality of milk. With these observations the book serves as a clear and detailed overview of dairy and its effect on health and nutrition.
