líquido branco produzido pelas glândulas mamárias de mamíferos
O leite é geralmente um alimento líquido branco produzido pelas glândulas mamárias de mamíferos lactantes. Ele é a principal fonte de nutrição para os jovens mamíferos antes que eles sejam capazes de digerir alimentos sólidos. O leite contém muitos nutrientes, incluindo cálcio e proteína, bem como lactose e gordura saturada; a enzima lactase é necessária para quebrar a lactose. Fatores imunes e componentes imunomoduladores no leite contribuem para a imunidade do leite. O primeiro leite, que é chamado de colostro, contém anticorpos e componentes imunomoduladores que fortalecem o sistema imunológico contra muitas doenças.

“The human body has no more need for cows' milk than it does for dogs' milk, horses' milk, or giraffes' milk.”
“You cows that I see before me, how many thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? And what has happened to that milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? Every drop of it has gone down the throats of our enemies.”
“Cow milk has no valid claim as the perfect food. As nutrition, it produces allergies in infants, diarrhea and cramps in the older child and adult, and may be a factor in the development of heart attacks and strokes. Perhaps when the public is educated as to the hazards of milk only calves will be left to drink the real thing. Only calves should drink the real thing.”
