I agree. However, I did find it interesting about the pus. I had no idea I was drinking that.

You still need to be careful about what you read from these folks. By referring to "pus" counts, they want to conjure in your mind the image of squeezing boils into your milk. (Yuck!)

They are being deliberately misleading. The standards are actually referring to white blood cell counts. White blood cells certainly are a component of pus, but that's not the only place you'll find them.

Pus is just a revolting word for white cells. Of course there will be some types of cells in milk- it comes from a living creature after all...

No worries though, milk is pasteurized (heated to kill microbes).

And you're eating rat droppings and insect parts when you eat a bowl of cereal. And you're eating fly droppings when you eat a hamburger outdoors.

First, the world is not an antiseptic place. Secondly, your body knows this and can handle it as long as, thirdly, the dosages are reasonable. In other words, a drop of pus in a gallon of milk isn't going to do anything to you. A drop of milk in a gallon of pus is another story.

Ditto the asinine growth hormone argument.

The fact that science education is absolutely pathetic in this country is the reason this kind of propaganda gets any traction at all.
