Milk! The most controversial product

Молоко! Самый спорный продукт

It is impossible to imagine the history of mankind without milk. The first food we try in our lives has left its mark on religion, politics, culture, economics, medicine... Many myths about the creation of the world go back to milk. The ancient Greeks, for example, believed that the Milky Way appeared when the goddess of femininity Hera spilled milk while feeding Hercules - each drop became a star in our galaxy. The word "galaxy" itself comes from the Greek - "milk". For thousands of years, debates have been going on about human milk consumption. Should babies be breastfed, and if so, who should feed them - mothers or wet nurses? Which animal's milk is better? Is pasteurization evil or good? What to feed cows and goats? How do hormones, antibiotics and genetically modified grains affect milk?..
Mark Kurlansky, author of the worldwide bestsellers "Cod" and "Salt", tells the history of milk and dairy products from ancient times to the present day, examines in detail what influence "the most controversial of products" has had on humans over the past millennia and invites the reader to find their own answer to the question that occupies everyone: "to drink or not to drink?"
