“I was reading about camel milk being good for people with type 2 diabetes. Would you recommend it?”

Camel’s milk has a similar macronutrient composition to cow’s milk but it does have higher amounts of certain micronutrients such as vitamin C and iron. There is initial evidence to show health benefits for people with insulin-dependent diabetes but this research is still in the early stages. Given that camel’s milk is significantly more expensive than cow’s milk I recommend sticking to cow’s milk and an overall healthy diet.
