I love reading facts about fresh milk!!
š§š„šŖ6 IMPORTANT FACTS LEFT OUT OF RAW MILK DISCUSSIONS: Pasteurization has evoked a serious āblind spotā among many journalists, scientists, and industry and professional organizations who believe that there is no ādownsideā to pasteurizing milk. Communications by pro-pasteurization advocates commonly leave out evidence, limitations, and inconvenient truths, in order to perpetuate pro-pasteurization myths and maintain status quo to preserve the dominance of pro-pasteurization āblind spotsā. Beware of entrenched beliefs masquerading as scientific facts that in reality are not supported by scientific evidence.
FACTS LEFT OUT BY PRO-PASTEURIZATION ADVOCATES
1. Neither pasteurized nor raw milk is ārisk-freeā
2. Claims that raw milk is āinherently dangerousā are not supported by the body of scientific evidence
3. Pasteurized milk is a highly processed food linked to adverse health effects
4. ~15 million people drink raw milk in the USA, and raw milk consumption is increasing
5. CDC data shows raw milk illnesses are not increasing
6. Studies show that children who drink raw milk have lower rates of asthma, allergies, eczema, fevers, ear infections, and respiratory infections
