Milk commonly refers to cow's milk.
Milk contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium. Milk, sold commercially in countries where the cattle (and often the people) live indoors, commonly has vitamin D added to it to make up for lack of exposure to UVB radiation.
Widely available products include whole milk, with at least 3.5 percent milk fat; lowfat milk, with 1 to 2 percent fat; and skim, or nonfat, milk, with less than 0.5 percent fat.
Human milk contains, on average, 1.1% protein, 4.2% fat, 7.0% lactose (a sugar), and supplies 72 kcal of energy per 100 grams.
Cow's milk contains, on average, 3.4% protein, 3.6% fat, and 4.6% lactose, and supplies 66 kcal of energy per 100 grams.

Milk is an emulsion of butterfat globules within a water-based fluid.
The largest structures in the fluid portion of the milk are casein protein micelles:
