The Milk Short Story

Milk has been a staple food since 8000 BC. In the Middle East, fermented milk was first used by nomads to make cheese. Milk started being consumed in Indonesia in the 18th century, during Dutch colonialism, and its processed forms have become increasingly diverse, including cheese and yogurt.

Nearly 90 percent of the composition of milk is water. Milk contains magnesium, fat, and sodium. It is good for strengthening teeth as it has a high phosphorus and calcium content. Milk can also help relieve depression, thanks to the content of serotonin-producing vitamin D, which improves mood, appetite, and sleep quality.
