It was found that the average pH value for all individual samples analysed
was 6.63 ± 0.08. There was no significant difference (P 0.05) in mean pH
between early, middle and late lactation. The overall data and that for
early lactation displayed normal distributions.


Well I'll be damned. I've always thought of milk as alkaline, I don't know
why. I sit corrected.


Me too. I think the reason why we've always thought that milk is the
opposite of acid is because it has a good "mopping up" effect. I can't
remember the verb! But it "jellifies" and in this process absorbs and
contains stronger acids that may be causing discomfort to the stomach
lining. Been suffering with acid tummy all my life!
