Raw Milk is more Healthy than Pasteurized Milk.?

Question

Raw Milk is safe and clean to drink. Their are numerous health benifits to it. Pasteurized milk is so processed that their is nothing good left in it. I have been drinking raw milk for 11 years with no problems. It also tastes great. Give it a try.

Raw milk has it's own bacteria that will kill E coli.
Only drink milk from cows feed on green grass.

Raw milk is the only food/drink that the human body compleatly survive off of with out and other supplements.

Answer 1

I drink raw milk to, fresh from my happy cow. I love it! I am HIGHLY allergic to commercial milk, probably due to the steroids, growth hormones and antibiotics the animals are given. I am totally intolerant of commercial cheese too, but do great with my homemade raw cheeses, made from vegetarian rennet. Did you know that the vitamin E in commercial milk is a steroid? They pasturize it to the point it is no longer nutritious, then add a bunch of synthetic garbage back in to it. One of my daughters friend is afraid to drink raw milk because she is afraid it might have a cow hair in it! too funny. But she will gulp down that toxic garbage like it was water. Mostly, I think people are just totally uninformed about the truth about commercial milk. Commercial chocolate milk is made to cover up bloody milk when they overmilk those poor commercial cows! Yuck!

Answer 2

The first answer is partially right... the vitamins and minerals aren't touched much with the pasteurization mostly because the minerals aren't affected much by heat and there are minimal vitamins specifically (mostly just Vitamin D, which is added back in anyway). However, the part that is affected would be the enzymes and probiotics (the good bacteria), and those are very beneficial for you (especially in digestion). The main drawback is exactly what the first answerer mentioned... there could be some bad bacteria in with the good bacteria. But think of it this way... people drank cow's milk for thousands of years before pasteurization came along and cows weren't known as death-bringers (even before antibiotics). As long as the cows aren't sick and their stalls are kept clean (or at least their udders are cleaned thoroughly before the milking), you shouldn't have anything to worry about. Pasteurization was mainly brought into the use of being "common" because it made the milk last longer, not just because of the lower amount of bacteria in it (although that was one reason among several).

Answer 3

I agree with you. Raw milk tastes great. I'm not so sure about health. It has its pros and cont. By one side, whole milk is full-fat milk, and its fatness is not always convenient for health. Also, by drinking it, you are taking some small risks to get infected. Surely you understand that milk pasteurization has a reason. The most common illness you can get is "Aftosa" fever. All your mouth get full of blisters; tongue, palate, gums, and throat. To cure, you have to apply "gentian blue" on every blister for more than four days. You may get other illness too.

Answer 4

Milk is gross either way and not good for you...blah, Granted Raw milk is better for you, that e coli thing does come into play. But milk especially cow's milk or any other animal that is not human is not good for your system.

Answer 5

You do realize that humans are the only mammals that continue to drink milk after they are weaned, right? In my opinion, drinking milk is not only unhealthy but not natural for adults.

Answer 6

No, you are much more likely to get E.coli poisoning with raw milk. (Digestive system problems-- could get very very serious)
Pasteurized is much safer.

Answer 7

I agree.

Answer 8

where do you keep the cows?
