I have to wonder just how many people even know what it means to “pasteurize” milk.
All you’re doing is killing the bacteria.
All the cream is still there, all the taste is still there.
The bacteria in raw milk doesn’t come from inside the cow.
Nope. You're killing the milk. That's why they have to add vitamins. They destroyed it by boiling it. And some that are milk intolerant can drink real milk.
You are wrong. Do some research. I suggest that you start with a highly respected source such as mercola.com
On the contrary. Raw milk, like certain kinds of yogurt, contains BENEFICIAL BACTERIA.
The human digestive system requires bacteria to digest food. And if you consume beneficial bacteria, that helps to crowd out dangerous bacteria and prevent them from giving you stomach bugs, etc.
Acidophilus is the most familiar of these beneficial bacteria.
Not true. The bacteria causing tuberculosis, listeriosis, and brucellosis are all there because the cow was sick. There are plenty of other pathogens that cows can be infected with that end up in the milk. Of course, unsanitary conditions during the milking process can introduce other bacteria into the milk, as well. Cows also get rabies... guess what happens to people who drink rabid cow milk.
Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR. 1999;48:228-229), Mass Treatment of Humans Who Drank Unpasteurized Milk From Rabid Cows Massachusetts, 1996-1998
The above article says that the CDC (between 1990 and 1999) receives about 150 rabid cow reports per year.
Personally, I'll stick with the pasteurized stuff. It's not heated hot enough to even cook it; it's heated briefly to about 70 C, just hot enough to kill the pathogens (and not even other bacteria). If people want to drink raw milk, they should be able to--as long as it's labeled adequately.
