So, Louis Pasteur was just wasting his time? I think I’ll stick to pasteurized, thank you.
If you own the cow, maybe. And then it is generally legal. Do these people eat raw meat too ?
Ping!
I have thought about getting some and trying it...it is pretty expensive in the place I saw it for sale.
I also wonder if I should just begin injesting it slowly or if I can drink it and the grocery store milk as well.
I watched a live contest where contestants had to drink a gallon of milk in 15 minutes. No one won. They all puked and vomited. I have not drank any milk in over 20 years.
Since when did The Blaze become a pay site?
I grew up drinking raw milk. We milked our cow daily, usually daddy did because he was so fast. I was a lot slower and momma’s hands were weak. Momma strained the milk through a cotton cloth into glass milk bottles. It’s surprising how much cream is in a quart of milk. I drank 3 large glasses a day for the 19 years I lived at home. Store bought milk tasted weak and flat.
We grew most everything we ate. Meals were heavy on vegetables, light on meats. I’m 72 now and healthier than most of my childhood friends who didn’t grow up on a family.
“I think we are created by God, and there is a way everything was designed,” Bass said. “. . . It’s close to a perfect food. It’s whole and good.”
Yes it is — for babies, cow babies.
Fourteen years ago my daughter had an asthma attack and was hospitalized. Traditional medicine failed. After researching, we put her on raw milk. Our family has consumed it since then and not a single asthma attack.
The science of it has to do with mast cells.
The Parsifal study is one of the sources that led us on our path.

People drank raw milk for 5,000 years and didn’t get sick. The problems arose when they put the dairies in the cities next to the distilleries. (The conditions were filthy and they would feed the cows the corn mash)
Salmonella, listeria, and E. coli? No thanks.
That said, many Amish in neighboring Lancaster Cty, do consume and a few sell if, much to the FDA’s trying to stop them. I’ve never seen it anywhere for sale, and have never tried it, so I’ll reserve any judgement,
But the diseases is *can* carry, are a concern to me, since I have 5 co-morbidities.
Casein A1 protein is a source of what many falsely deem "lactose intolerance." Casein A1 is not digestible by humans, Casein A2 is.
Casein A2 milk is found from Guernsey cows. Holsteins make Casein A1. There is now a GMO Holstein strain that produces Casein A2, so this problem may be history soon.
The raw milk evangelists have this mentality that because the government has made it illegal then it MUST be good and they will not be talked out of it. The only thing better about unpasteurized milk that can’t come from fortified with probiotics or vitamins is making cheese.
In France, they did not parteurize the milk. Cafe au lait had 2 pots. 1 of coffee and 1 of heated milk. Equal amounts from each pot were poured into the cup. The coffee with heated non-pasteurized milk was delicious. Full bodied flavor with sweetness yet no sugar.
The one thing I do have a valid opinion on: whether or not to drink raw milk SHOULD BE UP TO THE CONSUMER, not the government or "milk lobby."

The ignorance in the comments here is stunning. Freerepublic is not what it once was. The intercultural level of FRepers pales in comparison to previous years.
First, people on this forum seem to reply without even reading the article. And the opinions they spout are nearly totally uninformed.
Second, the issue about government control over consumer rights is totally lost on these mindless “conservatives” who want to prattle on about how “free” they are. Give me a break.
As a general rule, absolutes are (almost) never true, and that is the case with raw milk. To claim that raw dairy is only harmful and there are no benefits to consuming it is a clue the government, dairy lobby, and so-called “experts” are not being honest with you.
Grew up with raw milk, good stuff. Wouldn’t sell or give to anyone these days, for fear of getting sued.
When is the last time anyone heard of Brucellosis in humans in the US?
Thank you, pasteurization.
I think I heard that they have found a way to infect it with a bird flu.
