Is this possible?

I recently had the privilege of listening to a speaker from the Canadian wing of dairy giant Fonterra. This gent knew how to challenge his audience and to hold their attention. He made one particular comment which made me sit up and take extra-special notice. My pen moved into action almost on its own to jot down his words! And what were those words?

He claimed that there were 3,000 individual, identifiable components in milk.

3,000? Okay we know of the big things like fat, protein, lactose, the minerals and vitamins, but, 3000, really?

Doesn't that make your motor run? Doesn't that fire your imagination about all the novel uses that milk and its component parts can serve?

Doesn't this help to explain why different milks are so good for making certain dairy products? And that's only looking at things from the viewpioint of our conventional thinking about milk?

Another epiphany moment!
