Specifically, milk contains the sugar lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide (two-sugar) compound that consists of one molecule each of galactose and glucose, as shown in the structural formula below. Lactose makes up between 2 and 8 percent of milk by weight. The exact amount varies both within and between species.

Figure \PageIndex2: The carbon skeletons of certain amino acids (indicated in boxes) derived from proteins can feed into the citric acid cycle. (credit: modification of work by Mikael Häggström) Since fatty acids enter the pathway at the citric acid cycle, they can not be broken down in the absence of oxygen.

It was used in ads for milk in which celebrities were pictured wearing milk “mustaches.” While the purpose of the “got milk?” ads was to sell more milk, there is no denying that drinking milk can be good for one’s health. Milk is naturally high in protein and minerals. It can also be low in fat or even fat free if treated to remove the lipids that naturally occur in milk. However, before you reach for a tall, cold glass of milk, you might w
