Sheep Milk Yogurt
In France, under the regime
of François the 1st, yogurt made its first rather fleeting
appearance. In 1542, the King became ill. His team of personal
physicians were unable to do anything to help him. So, King ordered
that a Jewish shepherd and his flock of dairy sheep be transported
from Constantinople to Paris. This shepherd had a particular way
of preparing the milk from his flock. Thanks to the curative properties
of this fermented food prepared in the Eastern manner, the King
recovered. Ever since, both in France and elsewhere, more and
more people have consumed sheep milk yogurt. Interestingly enough,
the word "yogurt" means "long life" in several
different languages.

of Cheeses)
It is interesting
to note that in the province of Quebec, sales of yogurt have grown
by 11% each year.

Can
sheep milk give allergy relief?
In a study undertaken
with 206 subjects in the United Kingdom, 196 of were lactose intolerant
when given cow milk and only 11 were able to digest it without side
effects. The study demonstrated the advantages of using sheep milk
to treat food allergies and the symptoms associated with them. The
researchers also developed a list of other dairy products (containing
cow milk) that caused digestive upset: chocolate pudding, yogurt,
butter, cheese, cream and ice cream. The symptoms most frequently
cited included: diarrhea, nausea, headache, irritability, stomach
ache, bloating, acne, eczema, nasal congestion, migraine and hyperactivity
(in children).
Of the 206 study
participants, almost all of them were able to tolerate sheep milk.
99% of them were able to tolerate and 83% of them actually preferred
it. It is remarkable that the majority of severe allergic reactions
caused by cow milk were eased by simply replacing it with sheep
milk.
