Food Freedom: New study - Amish prove raw milk promotes health in children.

“Ninety-seven percent of US milk is heated and processed to the point that all probiotics are destroyed, while some pathogens remain.” Individuals of my parent’s age recall all too well poor packaging issues and illness over raw milk distribution. Perhaps modern technology could step in. Too many kids with asthma out there.

Comments:

Please be aware of Bovine Tuberculosis.  Transmitted via raw milk, easily transmissible to humans, resulting in severe physical disablement followed by death (unless treated).  Example: brother of Anne Sullivan, the genius-teacher of Helen Keller.  It was one of the main motivations for adoption of pasteurization of dairy products.  This public health menace is still widely found in the developing world.

Raw milk can harbor all sorts of nasties. One has to have a strict trust in the sourcing, if experimented with.

Raw milk was also widely condemned during the polio years.
