What, in that fever swamp you call your imagination, causes you to believe that raw milk is the only milk fit for consumption?

Specifically, what do you find in pasteurized milk -- that you don't find in raw milk -- that makes it poison? Which of these pathogens found in raw milk (but not found in pasteurized milk) makes you healthier?

• Enterotoxigenic Staphylococcus aureus
  
• Campylobacter jejuni
  
• Salmonella species
  
• E. coli (EHEC) (ETEC)
  
• Listeria monocytogenes
  
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis
  
• Mycobacterium bovis
  
• Brucella species (abortus –cattle) (melitensis- goats)
  
• Coxiella burnetii
  
• Yersinia enterocolitica

Chill dude, try it yourself, drink raw for a week or a month, then switch to the poison white water for awhile and you'll feel the dif.

Your question is a logical hole in a deep septic tank.

Raw milk didn’t cause any disease for the first 6000 years; inventing pasteurization didn’t change that.

Pasteurized milk causes far more of the diseases that you list than does raw. Poor sanitation (like what exists in the large commercial daries that produce pasteurized milk) can result in diseases in any case, but the dairies that specialize in raw products are considerably cleaner, and the record shows them to be safe.

The heating of milk destroys all the natural protections, such as the digestive enzymes that raw milk naturally has, the colostrum, which is a natural disease fighter, and converts the lactose to a higher glycemic level.

Pasteurized milk has been proven to be a cause of insulin insensitivity through inflammation that is an unavoidable consequence of undigested lactose being converted to lactic acid, and it also is strongly implicated in colon and pancreatic cancer for the same reason.

Ceasing the use of pasteurized dairy products is often all that is required to end type II diabetes, chronic lung congestion, bladder infection, and toenail fungus.

People that are diabetic on pasteurized milk are often able to switch to raw milk without the diabetes returning.

There is no legitimate reason to pasteurize anything, and all foods that get pasteurized become unhealthy to eat.

Be honest. As a kid or an adult have you ever gone swiming in a creek, river, or lake? Did your dad allow you to do so as a kid? Did he even bat an eye saying yes? There is always a certain amount in most of of what you listed in our enviroment no matter what.

Pasteurization it meaningless. It does not remain sterile and even if it did, it does not stay sterile. It can have bacteria counts as high as any unpasteurized milk.

Someone can technically pasteurize milk properly, have it meet the criteria for being safe at that moment, and who knows what happens to it from then on. There are no guarantees.
