Children who are allergic to normal dairy products can drink milk from donkeys with a group of Italian researchers stating that donkeys milk is less fattening and more nutritious than cows milk.
Researchers from the University of Naples compared donkeys milk and cows milk and found that while both of them gave out the same amount of energy, cows milk was responsible for increasing the metabolism and therefore linked to weight gain.
Also donkeys milk was found to reduce the number of triglycerides or unhealthy fat that increase the risk of heart disease.
Since donkeys milk is similar to human breast milk, the researchers suggested that it is better than using formula milk for infants.
