Credentials? you want to match your PhD against some other PhD? And do you have a discipline? You say you ‘are a PhD educated medical researcher etc’. And your ‘current focus is public health’...Are you employed? Are you now at a paid researcher focusing on public health? And btw, are you really ‘exDem’ or just ‘exMom’? Are you really still a flaming liberal wanting the Gobment to control all aspects of our lives?
Gee, one fourth of the large cattle operations feed their calves pasteurized milk.
Care to comment and reconcile that with your statement that those calves would die?
Any credentials on that fact?
Being concerned with matters of public health does not equate to "wanting to control all aspects of our lives." Did you miss the part where I said that I really don't care if you choose to drink raw milk, as long as you are fully aware of the risks?
If you are not fully aware of the risks, then why get so argumentative at me for pointing them out? Why not get mad at the raw milk sellers who lie about the risks in order to get people to buy their product?
Consumption of Raw or Unpasteurized Milk and Milk Products by Pregnant Women and Children
Milk of Nonhuman Origin and Infectious Diseases in Humans
If it were up to me, I would require all raw milk producers and sellers to pay for every epidemiological investigation that has to be conducted following raw milk illness outbreaks, and to cover hospitalization costs and long-term care costs for patients affected by drinking raw milk. Perhaps if they were held legally and financially liable for the damages they cause, they would be more truthful about their products.
