Ringo Starr said his favorite sandwich is simply goat cheese on bread, reviving a 2021 “Late Show” exchange in which he said he no longer eats cow-based dairy.
Starr told Stephen Colbert he avoids “anything from the cow” because its molecules are “so big,” a claim the report says is not scientifically backed.
Research cited in the report says goat milk does differ from cow milk, including smaller fat globules and different fat and protein composition that can affect digestion.
An Instagram recreation of Starr’s sandwich—toasted bread with soft goat cheese and grated goat cheddar—drew praise, surprise that it was not grilled, and debate over his explanation.
