Why milk doesn't contain Vitamin C?


Cow-milk doesn’t contain Vitamin C, because it is not a vitamin for the calf as it can produce it through a sequence of enzyme, which converts glucose to ascorbic acid in the liver of a cow.

So, there is no reason for the cow to produce milk with vitamin C.


On the other hand - 

Human milk (Breast milk) contains plenty of Vitamin C, as human babies cannot produce vitamin C on their own.
