As you can see, Goat's milk either diluted or undiluted is not the same as
human milk. (And I'm not even a rocket scientist!!)  Some of you biochemistry
whizzes out there may be able to compute the renal solute load from this, I
was too busy memorizing the structures of cholesterol and sex hormones  to
learn this (it was not taught in my class--we had to be able to draw all the
structures...)
