How to make a note on milk production and impurities in milk

Answer 1

Of recent years it has been discovered that a very large proportion of infant mortality is traceable to the use of impure milk, and that many diseases, especially diarrhoeal disorders of summer, are preventable when proper care is exercised to protect the milk supply.
Children, who are so largely dependent upon milk, do not well tolerate its adulteration, and milk is so much used as a raw food - perhaps more than any other one article of diet - that its careful inspection in regard to contamination by disease germs or adulterants is imperative, and the constant vigilance of the health boards of large cities is required to protect the public from imposition.Milk may be altered by -
1. Addition of water, pure or impure. 2. Addition of colouring matter. 3. Addition of preservatives. 4. Addition of substances used for thickening after dilution.

Answer 2

Answer:

Milk and milk products are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, particularly calcium. Milk has significant amounts of vitamin A and B vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin and nicotinic acid, but is a poor source of vitamin C and vitamin E. It also contains vitamin B12.
