A type of lipid or fat compound found in milk that contains galactose sugar bonded to lipid molecules.
From Greek 'gala' (milk) + 'lipidos' (fat) + '-in' (substance). Similar to galactolipide but with the -in suffix emphasizing the substance itself.
These milk lipids are so specifically structured that they're nearly impossible to create artificially—it's one reason many scientists believe human breast milk will always be superior to formula.
