Raw Milk

What is Raw Cow Milk ? is it safe ?

Raw Milk IS:

Raw milk or unpasteurized milk is milk that has not been pasteurized, a process of heating liquid foods to kill pathogens and extending the shelf life.

Proponents of raw milk have stated that there are benefits to its consumption, including better flavor, better nutrition, and the building of a healthy immune system. !

Is it safe : YES !

Raw milk advocates argue that it’s a complete, natural food containing more amino acids, antimicrobials, vitamins, minerals and fatty acids than pasteurized milk.

They also claim that it’s a better choice for those with lactose intolerance, asthma, autoimmune and allergic conditions.

Furthermore, they claim that the heating process during pasteurization reduces the overall nutrition and health benefits of milk.

Why do the mainstream People think prossesed milk is better? and we do not?

Pasteurization was first introduced in response to an epidemic of bovine (cow) tuberculosis in the US and Europe in the early 1900s. Contaminated dairies were to blame. Now Raw milk producers are required to have ALL dairy live stock tested.

many of the harmful bacteria destroyed by pasteurization, such as tuberculosis, are no longer an issue and that pasteurization no longer serves a purpose.

the other reason is to extend shelf life of the product. * Now this is what I believe is the real driving force..... in cooperate America this is a longer sale opportunity thus more of a profit... MONEY MONEY MONEY.
