Cow’s milk is unsuitable for infants less than a year of age due to:
  1. Large amounts of whey protein
  2. Inadequate fat content
  3. High cholesterol level
  4. High renal solute load
Explanation
Answer: D - Cow’s milk is unsuitable for infants less than a year of age due to its high renal solute load, which stresses the infant’s kidneys. Cow’s milk contains casein protein, which is less digestible than whey, and its percentages of fat and cholesterol are not significantly different from that of breast milk.
