The ancient Greeks believed that all the stars we see with the naked eye are drops of milk that Hera shed while breastfeeding little Hercules. The word Galaxy is derived from the Greek γαλακτικός, «milky». So, we all walk under milk!

No other product has given rise to so many legends, stereotypes, prohibitions and restrictions, none raises so many questions! What should babies be fed with - breast milk or formula? Which animal's milk is best for humans? Can you get sick or even die from milk? Why is it necessary to pasteurise it? How do GMOs, hormones and antibiotics affect milk? How can we make milk safe?

Author of world bestsellers, American researcher Mark Kurlansky reveals the history of milk and dairy products from ancient times to the present and fascinatingly tells us about the impact of this most mysterious product on humanity.
