I remember from a chart that cow's milk has much more casein than human
milk.  If you look at the essential amino acid breakdown there is a
difference.  Human milk and cow's milk profiles look different.  Plus,
per 100 grams, whole cow's milk has about 3.3 grams protein, human milk
about 1.0 gram.  So what proteins *are* in cow's milk are consumed in
3.3x the quantities  For reference, goat's milk looks similar to cow's
(for essential aminos), and has 3.6 grams of protein/100 grams.
