Camel Milk Vs Cow Milk – 7 Health Benefits of Camel Milk

 

What are the health benefits of camel milk? Camel milk contains protein, vitamin B1, potassium and calcium. Aside from containing the same nutritive properties as colostrum, camel milk is also a good source of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. But the benefits hardly stop there. This smooth, silky, ancient milk differs from regular dairy milk in several beneficial ways—from simply being easier to digest to improving autism, diabetes, and the immune system.

If you’re thinking this article must be about how to survive a trek across the Mojave with nothing but a grunting (albeit friendly) camel, you’re in the exact same place that my mind went to when I first heard about people consuming this exotic camel milk.

While we may quizzically gape at farmers milking anything other than the standard dairy cow or goat, camel milk is anything but exotic to traditional Arab and North African cultures.

When you think about it, it makes sense that it’d be consumed by nomadic people: What better animal to roam the desert with, since camels can survive with very little sustenance? However, it’s also still a staple in Arabic households, due to its myriad of benefits.

Camel milk contains proteinvitamin B1potassium and calcium.

Aside from containing the same nutritive properties as colostrum, camel milk is also a good source of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamin B1, potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. But the benefits hardly stop there.

This smooth, silky, ancient milk differs from regular dairy milk in several beneficial ways—from simply being easier to digest to improving autism, diabetes, and the immune system.

7 Health Benefits of Camel Milk

To discover the secrets hidden in this special beverage, journey on.

1. Helps Prevent Diabetes

Traditionally, camel milk has been used in the Middle East to treat, prevent, and control diabetes. Research is now starting to reveal the wisdom in this tradition. Camel milk reduces insulin requirements in patients, while also improving glucose tolerance.

Although the mechanism behind this effect still stumps scientists, several possibilities are thought to be the cause. They include special properties inherent to the insulin in camel milk, which make “absorption into circulation easier than insulin from other sources.”

Camel insulin is encapsulated in nano lipid (i.e., fat) vesicles, which makes their journey through the stomach into circulation easier. Camel milk can help control diabetes by improving glucose tolerance.

While studies indeed suggest that this folk remedy has diabetes-controlling properties, anecdotal research also supports the claim. There is no prevalence of diabetes in populations that drink camel milk. Also, Arab diets have changed significantly in the last few generations; a major factor is decreased consumption of camel milk. Interestingly, this decreased consumption has led to a drastic rise in the incidence of diabetes.

2. Boosts Immunity

Like human breast milk, camel milk contains high levels of the infection-fighting enzymes lysozyme and lactoperoxidase, as well as the immune-stimulating immunoglobulin A.

These factors are complemented by several anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral substances. One study even shows that camel milk offer protection against salmonella in mice.

3. May Relieve Autism Symptoms

The research on camel milk’s effect on autism is extremely promising. For instance, a 2005 study was published in the International Journal of Human Development.

When several autistic 21 year-olds consumed camel milk for two weeks, they were calmer and exhibited less self-destructive behavior. Meanwhile, the symptoms of a 4-year-old girl who consumed camel milk for 40 days completely disappeared. In addition, a 15-year-old boy also experienced a reprieve from symptoms after drinking camel milk for just 30 days.

Other research shows that these impacts might stem from camel milk’s effect on oxidative stress (thought to be a causative factor in autism). Glutathione is one of our body’s most important and abundant antioxidants. It was found to be inhibited in autism patients, which set the stage for behavioral aberrations.

Camel milk was found to significantly enhance these levels, as well as provide high levels of magnesium and zinc; they’re also known to reduce oxidative stress

4. Reduces Allergies

Camel milk lacks the A1 casein protein and lactoglobulin in cow’s milk, which often causes allergic reactions. Therefore, camel milk is a possible alternative for people with dairy allergies.

Camel milk is also thought to be an effective treatment for those suffering from food allergies, due to the aforementioned immune-boosting effect. For instance, a 2005 study in the Journal of the Israel Medical Association observed children with severe allergies, who didn’t respond to other treatments.

It listed astounding results: All of the children in the study recovered from their allergies after drinking camel milk. In fact, the researchers claimed it was more effective than medical treatments.

5. Prevents Fatty Liver Disease and Raises HDL-Cholesterol (i.e., the Good Cholesterol)

Camel milk has also been found to prevent fatty liver disease and raise HDL-cholesterol levels. A study published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine offered interesting results.

Rats who were fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet (which causes fatty liver disease) benefitted from camel milk being added to their diets. In fact, camel milk “increased HDL-cholesterol and ameliorated the biochemical and cellular features of (fatty liver disease)” in these rats.

6. Good Source of Vitamin B1 and Calcium

Like other B vitamins, vitamin B1 (thiamine) plays an important role in energy production from carbohydrates, and camel milk is a great source of it. It has also been shown to maintain the structural integrity of brain cells and prevent nerve damage.

Camel milk also contains a higher concentration of calcium than cow milk, so it’s an excellent source of this bone-strengthening, nerve-supporting mineral.

7. Healthy Alternative to Cow Milk

Cow milk hasn’t been seen in my home for years. In fact, even Santa helps himself to a decadent mug of spiced almond milk—not a glass of regular dairy milk.

So when I poured my fiance a giant glass of camel milk and told him not to worry, he practically turned green. After 30 minutes of coaxing, he finally took a sip.

Surprisingly, his fingers gripped the glass tighter, as I reached to take my own sip. I ended up pouring my own glass as he finished his. Not bad for a guy who hadn’t touched animal milk in nearly a decade. Cow milk can cause allergies and inflammation, while camel milk improves autoimmune conditions.

His caution was expected, as commercial dairy milk can have quite a few nasty side effects (including increased risk of hip fractures, inflammationcancer, and even multiple sclerosis).

But remember that camel milk is vastly different than cow milk. Most importantly, camel milk lacks A1 casein and lactoglobulin proteins, which is responsible for most allergies in humans. Also, cow’s milk can aggravate autoimmune disorders, but camel milk has been reported to improve autoimmune conditions.

Taste

My fiance and I agreed that camel milk tastes very similar to goat’s milk, except a little less pungent. It’s sweet when it hits your taste buds, but it also has a subtle, salty aftertaste that’s almost addictive. Our fridge will likely feature an entire shelf dedicated to this delicacy soon.

Where to Get It

As the list of the benefits of camel milk grows longer, so do the number of grocers carrying it.

The highest quality on the market (and tastiest, in my camel-milk-guzzling opinion!) is the Desert Farms brand, which stocks milk on the shelves of over 150 health food stores. They remain the only Grade A camel dairy in North America. That’s important, since camel milk is often sold raw, and it’s not regulated under the same laws that regulate hoofed-animal milk. Other companies that sell it have not been inspected by the FDA or USDA, which creates risks regarding safety and cleanliness.

Their products include raw and pasteurized camel milk and camel-milk kefir. They’re also available for shipping throughout the continental U.S. and Canada. Even better, all of Desert Farms’ camels spend their pasture-raised days on a handful of family farms around the country. They’re given a soy-free, corn-free diet, with no added hormones or antibiotics. All of their products are also non-GMO and gluten-free. They produce a deeply nutritious milk with a happy, healthy origin.

And in case you’ve already fallen in love with all things camel milk, they also offer camel milk soaps and face creams.

While adding camel milk to your diet might seem novel, remember that drinking camel milk is a practice our ancestors have thrived on for thousands of years—unlike nut milks and similar trends. In other words, drinking camel milk remains one of the most Paleo things you can do. In fact, camel milk has been officially approved by the Paleo Foundation.

Sipping on a glass of this nourishing superfood will lead you to wonder two things: How can I adopt a camel? And what other nutritious treasures lie hidden in unexpected corners of the world?

If you’re struggling to give up dairy and make the switch to Paleo, we’ve got a list that’ll ease your worries. From luscious and rich coconut milk to nutty and mild nut and seed milks to tangy camel milk, we’ve got the lowdown all the Paleo alternatives to cow milk and the best ways to use them in your kitchen every day.

Get tips on making creamy soups and sauces with coconut milk, on whipping up a delicious glass of vanilla-caramel almond milk to be enjoyed on its own, and even how to make an ice cream cake with camel milk. Finally, we’ll break down the health benefits of each, so you can make informed decisions about what you’re consuming.

Enjoy your non-dairy milk mustache!

Coconut Milk

Coconut Milk Benefits

Coconut milk is a staple milk of choice for many a Paleo dieter, and for good reason. Coconuts are extremely nutrient-dense, with a nearly 92 percent saturated fat content and a high level of medium-chain triglycerides (MCTS). While mainstream “fat is scary” nutrition will say that saturated fat is unhealthy, those found in coconut differ greatly from those of animal origin.

According to a 2006 study on coconut fats consumed by the Sri Lankan population, coconuts are easily metabolized by the body for energy because their medium chain fatty acids do not undergo degradation and re-esterification processes Coconut milk is extremely nutrient-dense, making it an ideal dairy substitute.

Coconut milk is made by blending coconut meat and coconut water, simmering, and then straining out the pulp (occasionally, a small amount of sweetener like honey or maple syrup can be added). The healthiest coconut milk is that which you can make yourself, retaining all of the healthy fats and keeping the product as minimally processed as possible.

What to Look for When Buying Coconut Milk?

More commonly, coconut milk is purchased by the can, but be judicious about your purchases. Many, if not most, brands of coconut milk include non-Paleo additives, especially the “light” versions, where most of the natural product has been replaced with artificial sweeteners and stabilizers (and more water – why pay for more water?).

Some natural food stores and grocery stores carry a thinner coconut milk in the refrigerated section meant to more closely mimic traditional dairy, but be wary of brands with too many non-Paleo approved additives.

Be wary of “light” versions of coconut milk, which may just be watered down and replaced with sweeteners.

Coconut cream – not cream of coconut, a cloyingly sweet, non-Paleo cocktail mixer – is another derivative of coconut milk commonly found on the Paleo diet. Coconut cream contains a higher ratio of coconut meat to coconut water, making it thicker, richer and more luscious.

You can find coconut cream at most health and specialty food stores, online, and occasionally in your grocery store’s Asian foods aisle. If you don’t have access to coconut cream, after chilling a can of full-fat coconut milk in the fridge overnight, scoop out the cream that separates from the liquid and voilà – coconut cream.

How to Cook with Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is the best option for giving stews, soups, curries and more a creamy finish. If you’re looking for a little more lusciousness, throw ½ cup or so of coconut milk in at the end of your dish’s cook time. Generally, this won’t add much coconut flavor but it will improve the texture of the food.

If you’re looking for a more prevalent coconut flavor – like in a coconut chicken curry – opt for the whole can as a base.

Coconut milk is also a great breakfast staple – water the canned stuff down a bit for Paleo cereal milk or use it in Paleo overnight oats. Or just enjoy a glass of it on its own.

Coconut milk is a ubiquitous ingredient in many Paleo treats – especially its thicker cousin, coconut cream. Try making your own coffee creamer – or even freezing coconut milk ice cubes for slow-melting goodness – or your own no-churn ice cream with coconut milk or cream. Coconut milk can be subbed in at the same ratio as whole milk in baking recipes, too.

Nut and Seed Milks

Nut and Seed Milk Benefits

Nut and seed milks – including almond, cashew, hazelnut, pistachio, hemp and pretty much any other nut or seed that the “milk” is made from – are another common Paleo milk substitute. Like coconut milk, nut milks in their most basic form are essentially nuts and water.

And also like coconut milk, the best kind of nut milk is the kind you make at home, where you can retain the essential nutrients of nuts without any additives from processing. Homemade nut milk involves soaking the nuts, blending with water, and then draining the pulp. Making almond milk at home ensures that there are no additives involved.

The nutrition of a given nut milk depends on the nut it’s made from. Because the meat of any nut is lost in the pulp straining process, nut milks are a lower calorie and lower nutrient far cry from eating the nut itself.

They’re also less pungent in flavor than coconut milk or camel milk, with just a hint of the actual nut’s flavor. But your morning glass of almond milk or hemp milk still has its place – as long as it’s free from unnecessary additives.

What to Look for When Buying Nut and Seed Milks?

Those unnecessary additives are many, especially in most store bought milks. Major nut milk brands add unnecessary ingredients to thicken, emulsify and make the milk more palatable (the latter can be accomplished with a small amount of Paleo sweetener at home). That said, some brands keep the ingredient list minimal. Check your local natural foods or specialty shops for that.

How to Cook with Nut and Seed Milk

Because nut milks are much milder, they make a perfect base for smoothies or for enjoying on their own. You can even flavor your nut milks with vanilla bean or caramel-like dates for a homemade treat.

Those who don’t like the taste of coconut or are allergic to it can opt for nut milk in many applications, with some modifications. Almond, cashew and hemp milks are the perfect mild base for smoothies.

When baking, try a thicker, creamier nut milk variety like cashew milk, as almond milk and others tend to be more watery and comparable to skim milk. If you have no complaints about coconut, try a half coconut milk, half nut milk substitution.

Like coconut milk, nut and seed milks also make a great backdrop to breakfasts like Paleo cereal, oats, or waffles. While most aren’t quite as luscious as full-fat coconut milk, they still help in making foods dreamy and creamy.

Nut and seed milks also work in recipes where you’d like to add a nutty essence, like this creamy jalapeno chicken dip or pizza crust.

Camel Milk

Camel Milk Benefits

What makes camel milk Paleo while cow’s milk is not? It has superfood qualities; from anti-diabetic properties to immunity boosters akin to those of human breast milk, camel milk is a nutritive powerhouse.

Camel milk is more commonly consumed throughout the Arab world; it has sustained nomadic cultures for millennia, thanks to the camel’s remarkable durability in non-temperate conditions.

Camel milk is a good source of essential fatty acids, vitamin B1proteinpotassium, phosphorus, and calcium. Camel milk is easier to digest than cow’s milk, and is full of essential fatty acids.

Thanks to its lower lactose content and lack of A1 casein protein and lactoglobulin found in cow’s milk, camel milk is also easier to digest, and may be a suitable substitute for those with dairy allergies or intolerances.

But how does it taste? Camel milk tastes similar – though more subtle – to mildly tart and salty goat’s milk, but it’s still sweet enough to satisfy your “milk” cravings.

What to Look for When Buying Camel Milk?

As camel milk gains popularity, more and more companies have started offering it. However, camel milk is often sold raw and isn’t regulated under the same laws for hoofed-animal milk. Since many companies that sell it aren’t inspected by the FDA or USDA, this poses a risk regarding safety and cleanliness.

Make sure to choose camel milk that’s pasture-raised and fed a soy-free, corn-free diet. Also check that there are no added hormones or antibiotics. If you’re looking for a safe, healthy option, we like Desert Farms as they’re the only Grade A camel dairy in North America.

How to Cook with Camel Milk

Camel milk may be the easiest milk to substitute for traditional dairy. It’s comparably sweet, thick and creamy, making it ideal for lattes (with turmeric, another superfood) and ice cream cakes, since it freezes well.

Camel milk, already chock full of probiotics, can also be made into yogurt and kefir, though it takes longer than cow’s milk – an indication that camel milk actually takes longer to spoil than traditional dairy.

Try using camel milk in place of your coconut and nut milk in baking recipes, and you’ll find similar results. You could also try camel milk to make caramel, as a creamy component in sauces, or in hot chocolate.

Is Dairy Paleo? The Pros and Cons of Dairy Milk

 

Pros and cons of dairy milk. Pros – good source of vitamins, magnesium, potassium and calcium; helps fight inflammation and promote fat loss; when made into yogurt and kefir contains high doses of gut-friendly probiotics. Cons – contain artificial hormones and antibiotics, lactose can cause nausea and bloating for some people; casein proteins may cause constipation, diarrhoea or joint pain.

If there was ever a way to instantly divide a group of Paleo followers with one word, it would be this: dairy.

The general stance on dairy usually falls hard on one of two sides: the first claiming that humans never truly evolved to consume dairy (and therefore aren’t fit to digest it), and the second, which argues how humans have been consuming animal milk for thousands of years without ill effects.

Interestingly, both sides appear somewhat correct when you begin to peel back their surface arguments. Roughly 75 percent of humans do have trouble digesting dairy, as we fail to produce the enzyme to digest lactose once we reach adulthood.

And yet, some of the healthiest populations around the world consume goat, cow, sheep, and camel milk daily, seemingly to their benefit 

So what gives? Is dairy a true Paleo food, or is it best avoided?

Dairy: The Bad

The negative aspects of the dairy most of us grew up with are nothing to laugh at. In fact, the risks of consuming standard supermarket options could be considered just as dangerous as consuming genetically engineered grains, soy, and other processed foods.

Hormones and Antibiotics

One of the biggest issues concerning commercial dairy is the presence of artificial hormones – namely recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST or rBGH) – which have serious health consequences for both consumers and dairy cows.

RBGH, which is injected into cows to increase milk production, is a genetically engineered drug created by agriculture giant Monsanto. Along with the fact that it has never been approved for use in the EU or Canada due to health concerns, it also has several nasty side effects, such as increasing udder infections and reproductive problems in dairy cows.

Dairy farmers react to these side effects by injecting their cows with antibiotics to prevent infections from spreading, which occur easily in cramped milking conditions.

Unfortunately, both rBGH and antibiotics make their way into the dairy products we consume, and have been implicated in multiple studies as carcinogenic and tumor-promoting.

Proteins and Sugars

Milk and other dairy products contain an assortment of unique sugars and proteins that can be problematic for many people.

Lactose is the main sugar that can cause reactions (this is where the term lactose-intolerance comes from) due to the fact that most people lack the enzyme lactase to break it down. The result can be nausea, flatulencebloating, and other side effects when dairy is consumed.

Along with lactose, dairy also contains casein and whey proteins, which have been shown to cause reactions in certain people. While most people do fine with isolated whey protein, casein can be problematic, causing constipation, diarrhea, and even joint pain.

Dairy: The Good

Now, at this point you may have already made the decision to avoid dairy like the plague from here on out. However, keep in mind that most of the dangers associated with “dairy” are actually created through mass production, the addition of hormones, and unnatural processing methods.

Dairy, when raw, organic, and coming from grass-fed, antibiotic-free cows, is also rich with benefits that we’d be short-sighted to ignore.

For one, raw dairy is an excellent source of vitamins AC, and K, B vitamins, magnesium, potassium, and calcium. It’s also a rich source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been shown to help fight inflammation and aid in fat loss.

It contains high doses of gut-friendly probiotics when fermented and made into yogurt and kefir (a traditional fermented milk drink). Kefir is especially great for those with dairy sensitivities or lactose intolerance, as the fermentation process essentially “eats up” the lactose sugar in milk, making it easier to digest.

The high levels of vitamin K2 in dairy (specifically full-fat cheese) has also been associated with an all-around reduced risk of cancer.

Goat, Camel and Sheep’s Milk Products

If you’re still worried you might not tolerate dairy all that well, keep in mind that goat, camel, and sheep’s milk products are another way you can cash in on the benefits of dairy while getting less of the reactive sugars and proteins found in cow’s milk.

For instance, goat’s milk contains less lactose than cow’s milk, as well as more vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids. Camel milk also has less lactose, as well as a whopping three times the amount of vitamin C as cow’s milk. Sheep’s milk is also similar in composition to goat’s milk, but offers higher levels of calcium and phosphorus.

Even though many milk-intolerant individuals report being able to tolerate raw goat, sheep, and camel milk, make sure to carefully test your tolerance anyway, as reactions can sometimes still occur.

Why Choose Raw Milk?

Most dairy in the U.S. undergoes pasteurization – a form of heat treatment used to destroy any lingering bacteria that might be present in the milk. While this might seem like a good thing at first glance, it actually has a severe drawback.

Unprocessed, raw milk is a whole food with live enzymes and nutrients. Specifically, it contains lactase, the enzyme responsible for breaking down the milk sugar (lactose) we spoke of earlier. Since most humans don’t produce their own lactase, its availability in raw milk helps with digestion.

Unfortunately, pasteurization destroys lactase, making pasteurized milk troublesome for those who can’t tolerate lactose.

Why Drink Full-Fat Milk?

Grass-fed mammals naturally produce milk rich in beneficial fatty acids like omega-3, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), and α-linolenic acid. Removing these acids takes dairy from a whole food to a processed food – something we all agree is definitely not Paleo.

Studies have also shown that people with the highest milk fat biomarkers (or who consume the most dairy fat) have a reduced risk of heart attack, along with a 69 percent lower risk of cardiovascular death than those with the lowest concentrations of milk fat.

Nut Milks: The Alternative

Almond milk, hazelnut milk, tigernut milk?

If you’re new to the Paleo lifestyle, you’re probably scratching your head in confusion as you scan the isle of nut “milks” in your local market. After all, how does a nut translate into milk?

The process is fairly simple, and involves blending any kind of nut with water to make a “milk,” then straining it to remove the nut pieces. The result is a creamy liquid very similar to regular milk that makes an amazing alternative for Paleo folks who don’t tolerate lactose or casein.

One thing to keep in mind before you buy is that almond milk will naturally taste different from hazelnut milk and so forth. Experiment a bit and find a type you enjoy. Generally, the most popular option is almond or coconut milk (not in the can), as the unsweetened versions have a very mild flavor.

Where to Find the Best Dairy Products

Thankfully, some health food stores across the nation are beginning to stock raw, grass-fed dairy products on their shelves. However, consuming and/or selling raw milk in some states is still frowned upon (making it difficult to find) or even illegal.

In these situations, it’s always best to look into visiting local small farms, as many offer raw, grass-fed dairy products. They will also most likely be happy to share their practices with you, which is a great way to know exactly how your milk is getting from animal to table.

The Final Verdict

The final verdict on whether dairy is Paleo? Firstly, it depends on your definition of “dairy.” If we’re speaking about “dairy” from the gallon jugs in the supermarket that are laden with artificial hormones and antibiotics, then dairy can be firmly labelled “not Paleo.”

If we’re talking about organic, raw, grass-fed dairy free from any of the nasties mentioned above, then it becomes a question of your personal tolerance.

My recommendation would be to always begin your Paleo journey by eliminating all types of dairy (yes, even the good versions) to rule out any food sensitivities and get your system back on track.

Only then should you introduce good forms of dairy, starting with perhaps ghee, kefir, or camel milk, which are easier to digest than other forms. If these work well for you and you find you feel better after introducing them, move on to raw hard cheeses and on up to raw milk.

If you don’t feel so great indulging in dairy (i.e., your stomach is threatening to wage war against you), don’t despair! Nut milks are delicious as milk alternatives and can be used in place of regular milk for just about any recipe. Not to mention, nut milk cheeses that use almonds as a base are on the rise, along with almond and coconut milk yogurts.

As you can see, with all of these options and a little self-experimentation, everyone can win in the debate over dairy.
