With raw milk being a major talking point at the m

With raw milk being a major talking point at the moment, I wanted to present some information on some of the safety concerns between raw dairy and pasteurized dairy.

“Based on CDC data, literature, and state and local reports, the FDA compiled a list of outbreaks that occurred in the U.S. from 1987 to September 2010. During this period, there were at least 133 outbreaks due to the consumption of raw milk and raw milk products. These outbreaks caused 2,659 cases of illnesses, 269 hospitalizations, 3 deaths, 6 stillbirths and 2 miscarriages.”

"According to the B.C. Fresh Milk Research Project, there have been 155 outbreaks, 153,877 illnesses, 282 hospitalizations, and 82 deaths from pasteurized dairy products from 1966 to 2015."

I also wanted to present some health information on the differences between raw dairy and pasteurized dairy.

Raw milk contains a wide variety of essential nutrients, fats, proteins, anti-inflammatory and digestive enzymes, bioavailable vitamins, and minerals. All of this is contained in a natural, unprocessed state. In addition, raw milk facilitates the production of the lactase enzyme in the intestinal tract, which allows many people who are lactose intolerant to digest raw milk.

The nutrient and immune factors present in raw milk are beneficial enzymes, diverse probiotics, lactase-producing bacteria, healthy fats, AA, CLA, DHA, EPA, proteins, bioavailable vitamins, bioavailable calcium, bioavailable phosphorus, and IgA/IgG immunoglobulins. All of these nutrients and immune factors are either reduced, inhibited, destroyed, damaged, or totally inactive in pasteurized milk.

Large epidemiological studies have found that raw milk consumption is correlated with lower rates of asthma and allergies, less eczema, lower rates of ear infections, fevers, and respiratory infections, and increased abundance of probiotic Lactobacillus in the gut.

Evaluate all of YOUR health and diet decisions based upon a risk-benefit analysis and don't police other people.
