Answer 1

I was raised on a dairy farm and I can tell you that it's true.

Cows develop what is called mastitis. It's an infection in their milk glands. Farmers are supposed to check each cow for it before they milk them, but sometimes this doesn't happen, or the mastitis isn't readily apparent at first. So the infected milk is added to all the milk and shipped out as one batch.

There is testing done, but there are acceptable limits so you are indeed consuming pus in milk and milk products.

Answer 2

The most damaging stress-related disease is mastitis (an inflammation of the udders). It reduces milk yield and directly affects milk quality by altering composition and increasing the somatic cell count (pus).

Answer 3

There may be pus in small amounts in milk, but after it's pasteurized, the bacteria are dead, so it doesn't matter.

Answer 4

Exactly what Hush said. Even humans can get mastitis and still feed their children via breastmilk. All food products have something gross in them. There are FDA guidelines on how many flies in something are acceptable.

What doesnt kill you just makes you stronger.

Answer 5

God, i should hope not. Sounds gross. Give us the rest of the adress.....

Answer 6
