As mentioned before here in 2009, camel’s milk might someday be a huge product, even if it’s origins seem dusty and remote:

For the tattered-clothed young men in this remote community, milking a camel’s stubby udders at sunrise is not a novelty, but a daily chore to get milk valued by their tribe for generations.

Why is camel’s milk going to be huge?

• Scientists in India have recently discovered that camel’s milk is beneficial against a number of diseases, including diabetes.

• On study showed that consuming 2 cups of camel’s milk per day reduced the need for insulin medication by an average of 30% in type 1 diabetes patients.

• Camel’s milk won’t spoil for more than 2 weeks, if kept at 40 degrees F

• Camel’s milk is high in Vitamin C and low in fat it is also more digestible than cow’s milk and suitable for the lactose-intolerant.
