Interesting topic about milk and Dairy
 
PeteBauman: 95% of people do fine on raw milk because all the bacteria and enzymes that make digesting it possible, remain intact until you pasteurize it. once you heat it and kill the good stuff, it starts causing problems
 
 
 
llulko: Why to we alter raw milk?? why not keep it at its natural state so we maintain the good bacterias and enzymes??
 Also, we can not assume what John is suggesting.. Maybe he is just against pasteurizing milk from its natural state..
 
 
PeteBauman: we pasteurize milk cause people are scared of bad bacteria like e. coli. the funny thing is that if they let cows roam in pastures and eat grass like they are supposed to, their would be at least a 90% less risk of e. coli contamination and sickness because the cows would be healthier. people think that they are eliminating the risk of getting sick from bad milk by pasteurizing it, but really all you are doing is killing all the good stuff.

Were can you find raw milk?
 
Can you get low fat raw milk??

I don’t think I could live without milk and cheese. And I don’t think I’ve ever even seen raw milk at any store anywhere close to me. How can you find this stuff?

I dont think i will be jumping on that ban wagon.. RAW milk?? that sounds kind of nasty.. Does it go through any process?

it doesn’t go through any process, but that’s the point. the processing, just like with all the junk snack and fast foods out there, takes all the good stuff out of the food, including the nutrients and fiber, which are replaced by chemicals, additives and sugar to make them taste sweeter and have a longer shelf-life, or more appealing color, etc etc.

raw milk tastes just like regular milk, except you don’t have the drawbacks of drinking commercial milk (lactose intolerance, worries about antibiotics, etc). why would raw milk be nasty? that’s what people had delivered to their homes in glass bottles by the milkman for decades before the food industry decided to get into it.

Do they make low fat raw milk?  i am assuming no

Yes they do. You can find whole, low fat and non-fat, depending on the company. Homogenization, the process by which they remove the fat, is separate from pasteurization where they heat the milk and “kill the bugs”.

I don’t drink milk so I’ve never tried raw milk, but the best and brightest in the nutrition world certainly like it ^_^
