Interestingly enough, when worldwide consumption of milk is taken into account, it is not cowâs milk that is most popular but goatâs milk. In fact 65% of the milk consumption worldwide is from goatâs milk, and this popularity hasnât come about due to high profile marketing campaigns or big-budget advertisements.
