Research
Professor German researched the role of fats and other components in the diet. He developed ways to assess health and metabolism in response to foods. Milk is the model he used as a genetic blueprint for foods to support health. Milk evolved for the purpose of nourishing growing mammals and this evolutionary logic was the basis of the research to discover physical, functional and nutritional properties of milk components and to apply these properties as principles to foods.
