I have worked with the CDC. I am quite pleased to tell you that the CDC is one of the only Federal Agencies I have seen, in action, who actually tries to HELP people and IMPROVE conditions in America and the world, across the board. I am quite impressed with the front line folks in the agency, who have good hearts and geniunely work hard to make a positive difference. We talk about abortion, and it is a huge problem -- but as many that are aborted, an equal number are saved through such innovative and beneficial programs such as the Newborn Screening programs -- which is a worldwide program.

I do not expect that the CDC will have doctored these results or bent them to fit an agenda. It's simply not their style.

THAT SAID: I still feel people should be free to select whatever food they wish to eat, even if it risks disease or death.

Same here, on all counts. The actual risk from raw milk is low, and it is a parent's place to decide whether that is acceptable for the parent or for their children, not some government bureaucrat's place.

“CDC: Raw Milk Much More Likely to Cause Illness”

“More likely” isn’t much of a scientific explanation.

Absolutely agree, with the proviso that when someone gets sick from drinking unpasteurized milk, the rest of us don’t have to pay their hospital bills (i.e., get the government out of the medical care business).
