Question

Mother's milk is preferred to cow's milk because it contains

• A. More fats and more lipids
• B. Less lopids and more fats
• C. More lipids and less fats
• D. Less fats and less lipids

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Less fats and less lipids

Whole cow's milk also contains too much protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus and chloride which may put a strain on an infant's immature kidneys. In addition, the proteins, fats and calcium in whole cow's milk are more difficult for an infant to digest and absorb than the ones in breast milk. So, the correct option is "D" (Less fats and less lipids).
