The Deal with Dairy Part Two: The Bad
“two main processes that cause the problems are the ones that we developed to try to improve milk – pasteurization and homogenization.
As seen with trans fats, sometimes we outthink ourselves while attempting to improve something, and end up hurting ourselves in the process. This is the case with commercially farmed milk”
Wow.. with lack of studies research in the begining process pretty much screwed us..
Its scary to see what will happen in a few years with other products/food/supplements and medicine

“On top of that, pasteurized milk no longer contains the bacteria that produce lactase (the enzyme responsible for helping us break down lactose). Our bodies can only handle so much of the milk sugar lactose, and without the added help from the bacteria and enzymes, it leads to problems”
It makes sense why people have intolerances to dairy… we wiped out all the good bacteria!
Why can’t the FDA revise this rule?

the experts say that the lives saved by the pasteurization process killing potentially bad bacteria (E.coli, Salmonella, etc) outweigh the killing of the good bacteria. it’s very debatable since the number of deaths due to food poisoning are there, but it’s hard to prove that anyone dies from them taking out the good bacteria, and it’s hard to put a number or rating on the amount of harm that it is doing since you can’t really put a number such as lives saved up against it.
you also can’t really point to a lack of research, cause there aren’t really any ways for them to show that all of this would happen. it’s not going to get any worse, it will simply stay the same unless they somehow change the methods, but really the impacts on the health stats of the milk that we are currently drinking aren’t really gonna change any time soon.
the food safety regulatory bodies are just doing their jobs trying to protect people from getting sick or dying, and you can’t really say that they are harming anyone directly. this will actually become an even more controversial subject later in the series.

That’s right Pete! There will be a lot more controversial info later in the series.
The government (and dairy companies) are just trying to protect the safety of people, hence the pasteurization process. They are just trying to kill any bad stuff that could possible get into your milk, and they don’t want you to get sick. The more important issue is that they need to use antibiotics to keep the cow from getting sick due to the filthy conditions that they keep them in, and that the growth hormones that they give the cows to keep them producing milk longer than they naturally do. The antibiotics can increase the amount of resistant virus strains that you are exposed to, and the growth hormones can reap complete havoc with your body.
If the commercial farms were willing to treat their cows better, the quality of the milk would be better and the necessity to use these dangerous additives would be reduced. The problem is that milk is in such high demand, and there are so many people that they need to produce dairy products for, that they feel the need to use these atrotious practices to get enough milk.
These places aren’t intending on hurting anyone, and don’t want to produce a better a bad product, but it happens, just like with any processed food.

That’s insane… i do see both sides of the debate…
But what can be done? How can farmers produce more milk and take care of the cows environment and health…
Will it really cost that much more?
Is there any win win situation? For this reason i don’t drink a lot of milk.. I add a little bit into my coffee..
Next time i buy milk i will think twice about getting organic,…

organic won’t necessarily mean that the milk wasn’t pasteurized or homogenized, it most likely will be, but it will mean that there aren’t any antibiotics or growth hormones used, and that the cows might be treated nicer.
if you want to avoid the pasteurization and homogenization processes, you need to search out raw milk. there will be more about that later in this series, but organic isn’t enough when it comes to milk if you want to avoid all the problems listed here.
