Why is it so difficult to synthetically create cow’s milk ?

1.25K viewsBiologyOther

I have been trying all different types of milk alternatives like oat milk, almond milk etc. But none of them taste similar to cow’s milk. I know a lot of it has to do with familiarity with the milk I’ve been drinking all my life. But I want to understand why there has not been a lab-created cow’s milk yet.

The youtube channel ‘the thought emporium ‘ showed that this is very possible. They modify yeast to make milk proteins. The problem seems to be that that the dna for cow milk has been patented by companies to prevent this for being commercially used.
