"cow's milk"
The expression "cow's milk" does not exactly fit the category of part of a living thing.
Instead of italics, if we have a single apostrophe used in a phrase and want to accentuate that phrase, we are forced to use double quotes around the phrase, correct.
NOT: 'cow's milk' but "cow's milk"
But if we have a word or phrase that we want to accentuate that doesn't contain an internal single apostrophe, then we can place single quotes around that phrase, yes or no?
Example:
She called the news article a 'muffin choker.'
Good to everything I said?

For this one, I prefer italics. But then again, I am a maverick.
