Do you know where your milk comes from?
Raw milk has so many benefits that you can’t come close to with pasteurized milk! In fact, when milk is heated all the actual good for you stuff is cooked out of the milk. People complain of milk related allergies, but guess what? Most of the time those allergies come from the pasteurization process.
Raw milk lowers:
- Asthma
- Allergies
- Eczema
- Ear infections
- Fevers
- Respiratory Infections
- Inflammation
Through the process of pasteurization, raw milk, which was full of protein rich, active bacteria (the good kind!), is heated and all of that good stuff is destroyed. And in the process of destroying all the good stuff, it even seems that people are unable to properly digest milk. Allergies and digestive issues are a common complaint from pasteurized milk.
Why did pasteurization begin?
In 1862, Louis Pasteur developed what we know today as pasteurization. This is just a fancy word for heating milk, juice, beer, and eggs to a temperature high enough to destroy bacteria and mold. This came after a period where people in cities were getting sick and some were dying from drinking milk. However, at this time dairy cows were being kept in confined spaces within the cities. The conditions were small and dirty. Feces were in the same places as the cows were being milked causing milk to become contaminated.
Because of the correlation between raw milk and illness, Pasteur began trying to figure out how to fix it. Rather than fix the conditions and educate people on proper hygiene, pasteurization was his solution. Did Pasteur understand what this process did to the good bacteria in the milk? Not sure. But the concept caught on.
And if you do enough research, you’ll find that just like many of our other food industries in the US, milk pasteurization began as a way for certain billionaires to make even more money. Shocking, but not a surprise. And if you have enough money, you can campaign against what is actually good for people in order to get them to believe what you are selling, which of course is what they did. And if you are able to get the government on your side, you can even get the ability to buy and sell raw milk outlawed. Something so natural was transformed into something evil, malicious, and has caused harm to many families who have made their livelihoods as dairy farmers.
