No, he's using facts, something you don't appear to be familiar with. No matter how hard you may try, there is absolutely no way to completely sterilize the udders. There will always be a risk of infection in raw milk from outside sources. Additionally, there are pathogens that exist inside the cow that only pasteurization will eliminate. I can list them for you if you like. It's a long list.
And yes, children are normally the ones who pay the price from unpasteurized products because their immune systems are not fully developed. Drink raw milk if you want, but don't try and tell us that there is no risk in doing so.
By the way, your fear of bovine growth hormone isn't justified. The hormone they give cows to increase yield is biochemically identical the the hormone produced by the cow naturally. Besides, bovine hormones do not dock with human hormone receptors, so fears of any ill effects are unfounded.
“Bovine Growth Hormone”
The article posted has to do with the safety of raw milk vs. pasteurized milk. Bovine growth hormones have nothing to do with that particular issue. But since you seem to have a hard on for Monsanto and since you brought it up, to me it sounds like you are the one using the demagogic tactics, the very same scare tactics that the leftist greenies and PITA types use. Oh, yea, a Google search of “monsanto bovine growth hormone” is going to bring up all sorts of results, most of them by leftists and greenpisser orgs.; all the usual suspects and part of the same old anti-business and anti-capitalist and anti-scientific luddite crowd – the very same folks who also promote the myth of man-made global warming, the anti-fracking crowd, the anti-nuclear energy crowd, the anti-vaccination crowd, the same crowd who says that SUV’s should be outlawed and who says that big business is trying to kill your kids, etc. whatever…
But despite the very “scary” scare tactics of the green pissers and PITA types who evidently, and perhaps some like you who think that the very existence of big dairy farms or ever any dairy cows is pure evil and that the dairy and cattle growers and by extension, any meat eaters, the non-vegans like them are contributing to those bad greenhouse gasses (cow flatulence) and therefore increasing global warming.
And keep in mind that this is the very same crowd also thinks that human population should be greatly reduced by violent force if necessary and with laws against having more than one child and that “society” would be much better off if we all reverted to substance farming and if we all became substance gathering vegans (yea, gorge yourself on all the fruits and nuts and green leafy plants and tree bark you can gather, when you can find it, but in the winter, freeze and starve to death – but what a great but eco-friendly and sustainable life you’ve got going there), gathering off of natural plants and if we starve then we starve – it’s Gia’s will; the very real plain truth and scientific fact is that bovine growth hormone (BHG) is a naturally occurring hormone, found in the milk of all cows, even the milk from cows not given additional bovine growth hormone to increase milk production and there is no scientific evidence, no evidence at all to suggest that BST present in milk can survive digestion or produce unique peptide fragments that might have biological effects. Even if BST is absorbed intact, the growth hormone receptors in the human do not recognize cow BST and, therefore, BST cannot produce effects in humans.
Growth hormones in milk: myth/fact
Bovine growth hormone: Fact or fiction
But hey, if you really want to drink raw and unpasteurized milk and are willing to take that risk on your own dime should you get sick or if you want to pay $10 per gallon of milk because its “certified organic” or “BST Free” or “100% hormone” and “antibiotic free” or “free range” or “cruelty free” or “humane” or any of the other “cool hip kid” buzz words that the gullible greenpissers and sadly some supposed conservatives who have bought into it hook, line and sinker and find it so appealing and are willing to be separated as fools from their money – go right ahead, it’s your money and your life.
