Research at Monash University shows that milk can be not only a valuable food product, but "super-drink".

As it turned out, the nanostructure of milk, similar to a sponge, which can lead to the development of new formulas for premature babies, beverages for weight loss and new ways of drug delivery. "By unlocking the detailed structure of milk we have got the potential to create a beverage that is rich in fat-soluble vitamins and building molecules of the brain for preterm infants or drink that slows digestion so people feel satiated for much longer," says Dr. Stefan Salentinig, who led the study. "We could even use milk's ability as a carrier, developing a new form of drug delivery".

Modeling the digestive system in a glass beaker and adding cows ' milk, scientists have discovered that it has a unique structure — an emulsion of fats, nutrients and water forms a structure which enhances digestion.

According to scientists, milk has a geometrically ordered structure when being digested.Salentinigобъяснил: "We found that when it starts the digestion process, the lipase enzyme breaks down fat molecules. forming a geometrically ordered structure. These small and highly organized components enable fat, vitamins and fat soluble drugs go through cell membranes and into the circulatory system."
