Buffalo milk is hard to digest for a person of any age, because the excess fat in buffalo milk when it forms soap in the intestine, is hard to digest with the usual amount of salts, and it takes the deficient quantity of the mineral salts from bones, which are consequently weakened. This does not occur in the digestion of cow milk. Carbohydrate : Fat : Albuminiods ratio in animal milk and comparison of same to human milk helps to decipher this and find best suitable milk.
