We often see goats,
sheep and cows eat grass, and yet it rarely occurs to any of us to establish a
link between this process and the milk and the dairy products we consume. God
lets them feed on this grass, its ultimate transformation to be milk, one of the
basic nutriments. The circulation of blood and the blood carried the nutriments
absorbed from digested food into its constituents to mammary glands for
production of milk was not known. The new material transformed from pasture
into assimilated food and blood becomes a nutritious food.This draws attention
to truths unknown at the time, but also displays facts to derive lessons from.
The blood collects and transports the substances formed by digested food to
organs; among others, to mammary glands. This process is initiated by blood
coming into contact with the contents of intestines, on their walls. Before
continuing its journey, carried by blood, part of the digested food is absorbed
by the intestines. This information is the result of modern research in biology,
chemistry and in the physiology of digestion. Milk is the first food of the
newborn mammal. It is a fluid secreted by the mammary glands of mammalians as
food for their young in the period immediately after birth. From the young of
whales to human infants, all mammals feed on their mother’s milk. The young
animals and the babies obtain their supply of excellent nourishment without any
toil. Milk is the best product for infants. No other nourishment can replace
what is provided by it. We can identify thousands of nutritious food items in
the world. Had the universe been the outcome of happy coincidences and had
there been no ingeniously designed creation, there would have been no
particular reason for the mother’s milk to be the best and most carefully
selected nutriment. This perfect order designed for every mammal, including
man, is a proof of the Creator’s inimitable forethought. Materials digested to
become blood turn into milk in the mother’s breast and are offered to the
newborn by its Creator. Whether ratiocinated or mathematically calculated, it
is impossible to assert that this is the outcome of fortuitous events which
have nothing to do with a designed purpose. The infant practices sucking its
finger in the womb to be prepared for drinking milk as soon as it is delivered.
The fact that mother’s milk comes exactly in the amount of the baby’s need
without spurting is also carefully planned. The milk we first taste from our
mother’s breast will continue throughout our lives to be consumed by us to meet
the requirements of a healthy constitution. Milk is a whitish liquid consisting
of small globules of fat suspended in a watery solution containing proteins,
lactose sugar and minerals like calcium, casein and phosphorous, plus vitamins.
Cheese, butter and yogurt are all made with milk, the basic nutriment of man.
The benefits that our body derives from its contents, like minerals and
vitamins are more than the present book can contain. When we consume it, we
should remember always its Creator.
