Milk is a nourishing whitish-colored nutritional secretion produced by the mammary glands of mammals. This ability is one of the defining characteristics of mammals. The main function of milk is to nourish children until they are able to digest other foods. It also serves to protect the gastrointestinal tract of offspring against pathogens, toxins and inflammation and contributes to metabolic health by regulating the processes of obtaining energy, especially the metabolism of glucose and insulin. It is the only fluid ingested by mammals until weaning. The milk of some of the domestic mammals is part of the current human diet in the vast majority of civilizations: mainly cows, but also buffalo, sheep, goats, mare, camel, elk, sow, llama, etc. Milk is the basis of many dairy products, such as butter, cheese, yogurt, among others.

Además cumple las funciones de proteger el tracto gastrointestinal de las crías contra patógenos, toxinas e inflamación y contribuye a la salud metabólica regulando los procesos de obtención de energía, en especial el metabolismo de la glucosa y la insulina.
