Goat's' milk is more easily digested than cow's milk, and is supposedly
close in composition to human milk.  It's fat globules are smaller and
naturally homogenized, and it is much higher in natural flourine and
other nutrients than cow's milk.  A lot of people can tolerate it who
cannot tolerate cow's milk; unfortunately, I am not one of those lucky
ones.  Goat's milk can be used in exactly the same way as cow's milk in
any recipe.
