Mom, contrary to your ‘credentials’ you know nothing about raw milk. I know raw bovine milk, and it does not cause disease. There is a lot more disease caused by pasturized milk than by raw milk. And a lot of what is ‘credited’ to raw milk, maybe all of it, is from other food sources.

I'm sorry, but the fact that you personally have not become ill from drinking raw milk only means that you have been lucky, not that raw milk is safe.

The only reason that pasteurized milk causes more disease is because 99% of people drink it pasteurized. When corrected for consumption numbers, then raw milk causes about 150 times more illnesses than pasteurized, on a per capita basis.

I really don't care if you want to drink raw milk, as long as you are fully aware of the risk. My objection to the practice only arises when people base their decision to drink it on lies, especially lies compounded with beliefs in non-existent magical properties.

The fact that pasturization has been such a success at eliminating milk as a source of illness like TB , the original impetus for the process lets people forget how beneficial it was.

Like I said the first time, Mom, you know nothing about raw milk. Pasteurization turns what comes from the cow into something unfit for man or beast. Take the cow’s milk, pasteurize it, and then give it to her calf. the calf will die. Drink on Mom. But quit preaching nonsense.

The whole thing about bans on raw milk is to protect the big dairy farms and the big dairy industry from small farms that do it right in sanitary conditions. Big dairy farms are less than sanitary. And pasteurized or not, that milk is unfit for consumption.

The small diary farmers do it organically, non-GMO, and grazed on certified organic pastures. They do it without soy. Soy, unless it has been fermented, is poison...you probably don’t know that, Mom.

And as I said, Mom, you know nothing about raw milk, and probably nothing about the dairy industry in general.

Credentials?
