Answer

No. They both have the same pH but the resemblance ends there. Milk is a fluid produced by mammels to feed their young. It is very nutrient and calorie rich. It contains a lot of water, protein, fat and sugars as well as vitamins and minerals. Everything a baby needs to survive it's first year. Blood is the common name for blood serum and the cells it contains. The cells have various functions including transporting oxygen and protecting you from diseases. The serum, a clear, yellowish fluid, is the river that they move through. Hemoglobin is an iron based organic compound found in red blood cells. It bonds easily with oxygen and is used by the body to transport oxygen from the lungs to the muscles.
