Children in their middle years seem to be the forgotten crowd. Finding An Alternative Source Of Nutrients Without MilkAll milk allergies in children is setting the stage for future problems because of a lack of the necessary nutrients a child needs for proper health and good nutrition,.Milk itself is actually just a combination of water, lactose (milk sugar) proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals.
