Cows vs Goats Milk - Intolerance?
I recently had a blood test for food intolerances, it showed I was intolerant to cows milk, only a level 1 intolerance, with level 3 being the highest.

I'm late 50's no health problems and a good diet, but hair and eyelashes are not as thick and lovely as they were. Everything else is thicker though !
