      What milk provides

      Milk contributes carbohydrate, fat, protein, calcium, iron, Vitamin A, Vitamin B2, and other vitamins and minerals to our diet. It is a liquid food and therefore easy to add to food intake, and it will also mix into other foods easily. To replace milk in the diet other carbohydrate, fat and protein foods such as potatoes, cooking oil, meat and fish can be substituted. Cod liver oil or fish oils will provide Vitamin A. For Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) liver is a good source. Calcium can be replaced by Calcium gluconate, Dolomite, B13 Calcium (calcium orotate) orbonemeal taken as a supplement. This calcium supplementation is especially important in children’s diets as it is necessary for the growth of strong bones, teeth and nails.

       Contamination in the home

      Scrupulous cleanliness is essential to avoid contamination, with extra care during washing up. Avoid using the same spoon to stir a non-milk drink when everyone else in the family is having a drink containing milk. This kind of attitude should not be considered to be fussy – merely careful.

      Generally speaking, milk contamination is less of a hazard than wheat, as milk is usually liquid. Do be careful with dried milk before you mix it with water as it can be dusty and has a nasty habit of sticking to the spoon.

      Eggs

      Eggs provide a cheap form of food which is very nutritious. Because of the two parts of an egg, the protein-rich white (albumen) and the fat-rich yolk, its versatility in cooking is quite staggering. In particular the white can be aerated to make meringue, and beaten into other foods to bind them together. The yolk can be used to make emulsions such as mayonnaise.

      If you see any of the following items listed as an ingredient in a manufactured food it means that egg has been used in its production, and it should therefore be avoided:

       Albumen

       Dried egg

       Egg

       Egg glaze
