As someone who handmilks a cow daily. I can second that raw milk is not only healthy, but delicious. It does depend on the cow’s breed though. I think that each breed has different types of milk taste wise.
It is fat content of the milk and protein but also the diet of the cow that affects the taste . Molasses will make their milk sweeter, if they eat hay vs grass it will taste very different, if you add corn or corn silage those two just because the one is fermented will in fact make it taste different. You can manipulate taste more than people think.
I stopped drinking milk because it caused me acne. I read it’s from the hormones. We started buying raw milk from a farm because I wanted to good bacteria. Love it, I do not get acne, I can drink a liter without any problems, so the pasteurization was the problem, not the hormones. I visited my dad and he put a little bit of milk in the salad dressing, I used the toilet like ten times. I can’t have any pasteurized milk anymore just like I can’t eat processed food like popcorn from the cinema or pizza and fries after I completely stopped eating out or buying processed foods. My body can’t handle these bad foods anymore and I‘m kind of proud. People don’t believe when I say I can’t eat this, they think I overreact or I‘m on a crazy diet and just pretend like I can’t eat junkfood.
Raw milk farmers don’t have to give the cows hormones bc they take care of their diet & environment ❤ they feed them grass so they get the minerals from the earth to stay healthy. Commercial pasturized dairy farmers pump the cows full of hormones to keep them producing milk. They want them making milk all year when they are only supposed to produce it for a calf. So they go against nature & that’s why the milk is full of hormones & bad bacteria. They also don’t let them graze or be Purdy& their indoor living conditions are filthy. I also switched to raw milk & I e recently started drinking it more & I swear it’s like better than coffee at giving me every. If I get a stomach ache I drink some & it helps digest the food bc of the enzymes. ❤❤😊
@@brunetteXeroh i know. I don’t have processed sugar that much. At all. I stopped and have it once in a while but I can taste the sweetness in everything now. My sisters don’t believe when I tell them this is sweet ..they look at me weird. 😂. I mean when I make cinnamon tea …just the stick and water I Kidd you not …it’s sweet. I tell them they don’t believe me. lol.
My grandparents had a Dairy farm, nothing better than running out to the milk parlor & getting fresh milk from the holding tank..yummmmmy... I miss that
I 100% agree with the benefits. However, it almost killed my 2 oldest kids. E. Coli, HUS, 2 weeks in the PICU, dialysis and blood transfusions. It's not without risk, but there aren't many things that are. We won't touch it again with a 10 ft pole. He's not wrong about the salad either. It might be rare, but it does happen, especially to young kids.
It has more nutrients and vitamins. People have died or been hospitalized from listeria in pasteurized milk. Both have their pros and cons. People have died from e coli in broccoli, there are still benefits to eating broccoli.@@jfkst1
I don't know if there is any legitimate benefits. But from my understanding of things apparently pasteurized milk is bad because it taking some nutrients away from the milk. At least that's what raw milk drinkers argue
You want to know why she got e coli? Because the cows were not being cleaned properly and it was touching feces. If you take care of the cow like you're supposed to you won't have any problems. If it touches anything on the ground that could cause problems then you're just asking for it.
Loved this interview. Especially that he got emotional just bringing up the name of Jesus and that he brought his family with him and they prayed over the interview beforehand.
There was a study about raw milk protecting kids from Strep A infections. It does! Plus, there are wonderful bacteria in raw milk that helps your gut flora. The issue is government control.
As somebody that grew up on Raw Milk and now (at age 50) found a Raw Milk dairy close by (50 miles away) honesty say there is no comparison- it tastes delicious!!!
I cannot drink store bought milk as I get very gassy, but when I drink raw milk, my stomach is completely fine. I have no pain. I also like the taste a lot better as it doesn’t have that whole milk taste. We will forever drink our raw milk from our trusted farmer.
My family has been on raw milk for 5 years. We have no issue on raw milk. But when we buy store bought milk our stomachs go nuts. My kids run when they see store bought milk. Even they know
So many of us are unable to get raw milk from a known&safe source or completely organic food. On a $175-200 per month grocery budget for myself and chicken legs or thighs for my dog, I do the very best I can though, and this mindfulness about what we eat makes a huge difference to our health. “Shop the edges” of the supermarket” is such a valuable truth. ❤️
Impeccible timing!! I just tried Raw milk for the 1st time yesterday and i was surprised by how much better n cleaner it tasted! Very creamy & sweet 🐄🤍
I was raised on a dairy farm that’s all we ever drank. We take it straight from the cow. Before it was even loaded into the tanks to be pasteurized that’s how we drank our milk and I’m now 67 years old
Not everyone is that lucky also you were raised to be okay with certain bacteria. A child raised in a now society then just given a tit to suck . Could become deafly sick. For many reasons especially hygiene of the cows itself and it's tit . Even serving it in a cup still kids today are not all able to handle those bacterias .
I love raw milk!! I raised dairy goats for years and loved their milk. I grew up on raw cows milk , and it is very healthy for you, never had a cavity!
I grew up in Guyana on raw milk nothing added just scald it every morning.....until I moved to Canada and the milk tasted like water . And the cream is amazing.
It's only a risk if you're not taking care of your cow and you're just letting it run around in feces. Animals are a big responsibility just like kids. You have to make sure they are clean before you milk them. I didn't realize how many people were uneducated
TB has been almost totally eradicated from US dairy cattle. If you are concerned, you can ask for the farmer to test their cattle, or ask if they do test.
Raw milk needs to be grass-fed, and you need a sterile milking operation where the floors, walls, and fixtures are thoroughly cleaned with bleach, and where the animals' udders are cleaned carefully with a gentle cleaning and sanitizing detergent mixture like soap and vinegar to clean any fecal residue from the surface of the udder before the milking pumps are attached, and the milking pumps should be dipped in sanitizing solution between cows. It's literally that simple. Way fewer steps and failure points than major dairy operations with feedlot animals laying knee-deep in their own feces all day.
I agree with everything but the grass fed part. I'm a dairy farmer. Tastes milk from conventional and grass fed. Also seen tests run on both. There is no difference.
It does NOT have to be grass fed. Most dairy cows these days are not genetically able to produce milk and maintain body condition without grain feeding. You literally have to look for grass fed genetics in order to do this without starving your cow to death.
Getting a small percentage increase of nutrients that won’t affect your overall heath isn’t worth the risk of food born pathogens. There is a reason we pasteurize dairy, it’s to avoid the several outbreaks we have had in the past.
That's what I would figure. Also there's no way I trust other people to keep their cows clean enough to drink raw milk all the time. Your own cows absolutely. Other people's? No way.
Na there will always be a risk. If the cow gets sick and we drink that raw milk we have a chance of getting that illness. There's no way for any profitable farm to be able to test their cows each time before they milk them and be profitable. Even then there is a chance that the illness is it the initial stages and is difficult to detect or a test error. You can drink raw milk if you want but I'm not risking it. It's like eating raw meat. All it takes is one bad meat for you to get seriously sick.
I was blessed as a child to have unpasteurized milk. My babysitter was a dairy farmer and not only did I get the unpasteurized milk at their house, but they would send us home with a jug every few days.
My great grandma was the milk lady of our village. She’d strain the milk with cheese cloths and then we’d go fetch some in a bucket. Never had any problems with it when we visit from the USA.
Raw milk tastes like what the cow eats. A diary farm near me has grass fed and that milk tastes grassy. It took getting used to but it’s so much better than what’s on the shelf at the store
@@Rachel-er5tl It’s significantly healthier. Think of it this way: A kid given donuts and processed foods every day doesn’t like real food. They are often picky and finicky. It’s because they are addicts to the chemicals in their food.
@@joyfulhomemaker8053 That actually might be a mineral imbalance in the cattle. It should definitely not taste like grass, that's not normal. I keep a cow or two for our own family and have for many years. If you haven't already, mention that taste to the farmer.
@@gentlegiants04 If you get cow or goat milk from animals that eat primarily grass, the milk is grassy. I’ve experienced this from local farms while in a few different states. It’s always the same. The ones that don’t are the primarily grain fed animals.
I used to get raw goat milk from my goat milk lady and she told me that pasteurization kills the enzymes in the milk that are necessary for your stomach to digest that milk. That's why so many people are lactose intolerant. (Now there are other reasons for being lactose intolerant too, but there could be a bunch of people that didn't have to be lactose intolerant.....just sayin').
Many of those people actually are NOT lactose intolerant, they just can't digest store bought milk and have never tried raw. They wind up getting a diagnosis from their doctor that says they can't drink milk and they never think about it any farther past that, or try anything else.
Do you sanitize breast milk you feed babies? I see how you are trying to make an attempt at associations here but I think your processed foods and public school education may have proven here that both should be avoided if possible.
@@LifetimelearningisbraveI have no idea I don't have a baby or know anyone with a baby. I don't know what that has to do with processed foods or public school. You should ask someone that has a baby.
You wash the cow udders before milking for the same reason that you wash fruits and veggies after picking… do you wash your watermelon after you cut it open or before? The illness is from contamination from the environment outside of the milk, not the inside.
@@Lifetimelearningisbraveno because breast milk is sterile and normally given to baby directly from breast ie it is consumed straight away. It’s also a food made by a human for a human. Breast milk is the perfect food for growing infants. I’m not into pasteurisation either but I feel raw cows milk is different because it’s from a different species, doesn’t tend to be drank straight away and we don’t directly know the source. Breast milk for a baby is much cleaner and is species appropriate so I’m now sure the comparisons weighs up.
@@Lifetimelearningisbrave the difference is the chance of introducing pathogens. Breastmilk goes straight from the source into the baby's mouth. Raw milk can be fine. It can also be contaminated, same for pasteurized milk. I will drink raw if I know where it was milked. Ironically, my 13 yr old milks our goats and we definitely don't drink it raw. It get pasteurized. We believe the chores are more important for her than drinking raw milk. She will improve in her skill over time.
My kids went with their grandmother to an old friend of hers dairy farm and had raw milk for the first time. My kids only drink milk if there is chocolate in it or in their cereal. They loved the raw milk. The two quarts that they brought home were gone in a day.
I think that maybe most of you don't realize why they are pasteurizing the milk to begin with. My great-uncle died from drinking milk from a cow that had mad cow disease. It's very hard to tell if the cows are carrying something that can make you sick, but it can be deadly. I'm not saying raw milk is bad, but there's a reason why they pasteurized it to begin with.
Yes, we also used to give kids applejack, a fermented slightly alcoholic apple drink because water is unsanitary.. is… wait… WAS because we have technology for sterilizing things now!!!
@brunetteXer the argument is it can be bad. And it's true. You have to be very very very sure that the seller is 100% extremely clean. And yes dairy farmers cause alot of issues cuz they are not clean. So it's about farmers stepping it up to prevent illness passed on th humans through their product. Thats a huge liability by the way. Also raw milk is so damn. Expensive
No, your uncle did NOT get mad cow from drinking raw milk. That is NOT how prion diseases are spread. Pasteurization is relatively low temperature compared to autoclaving and even an autoclave cannot reliably kill prions. Maybe he got listeria or something.
Well, you can boil the milk all you want and you'll still get Creutzfeld-Jacob disease if the cow has mad cow disease. However, the reason why they pasteurize the milk is so you will not get the very dangerous bacterias that sometime is in milk. Do not drinkn raw milk. It's like eating raw meat. We don't do it, because the risks outweigh the benefit.
Legitimate question though - what about pasteurization also killing bacteria from cow illnesses like mastitis or infection that can release pus or blood into the milk? I know that "naturally raised" cows are less likely to have those sorts of issues without being loaded up with hormones and antibiotics, but it's not impossible.
I knew a dairy farmer. When the milk truck came he tested his milk and once the truck left the driver tested the milk. If the trucker came back with a contaminated test the last farmer had to pay all the other farms what their milk cost because they dumped the whole truck and sanitized the tank.
@@robinyoung7414 I grew up on a dairy farm, and we never milked sick or medicated cows into the big holding tanks. We hooked up a separate five gallon pail to each sick cow. That milk, along with the colostrum from fresh cows, was fed to the calves. We also had “Chester the tester” come each month to test our milk to make sure it was safe to sell (we sold raw milk from our barn).
Farmers know their cows. A cow that has mastitis is NEVER going to have her milk added to the bulk tank that is going to consumers. And if there was blood in it, it's VERY obvious. Consider the color difference. I have had a cow break a blood vessel in her udder and have blood in the milk several times, there is absolutely no mistaking it. You continue to milk the cow to help cure the infection and you dump the milk or feed it to pigs, etc.
Cows milk is not created for human consumption, and yet we put it in so many foods and beverages and wonder why we have an obesity problem. I'm not saying it's just the milk causing it, but it's a HUGE contributing factor.
@@gentlegiants04it’s literally produced for baby cows and has pregnancy hormones in it. You think people are supposed to ingest cow pregnancy hormones?
Because raw salad comes from the earth. Raw milk comes from inside an animal's body. We typically dont eat raw meat either, unless its of a very high quality and even then its only under specific circumstances and comes with various risks.
If you wash the teats etc beforehand raw milk is fine to drink and far healthier than pasteurised muck. I can drink milk straight from the cow no problem yet drink pasteurised milk and feel sickly after drinking it. Does not taste anything like real milk.
Raw milk tastes nothing like store bought milk. It’s rich and creamy and delicious. That probably has to do with higher cream content though. It tastes like melted ice cream to me
That's not uncommon. Many people cannot digest it well after it has been processed. Not only the pasteurization but the homogenization makes the milk far harder to digest, which leads to a lot of false diagnosis of lactose intolerance.
It's due to insurance, a local dairy farm near me used to sell their milk raw, then they had a salmonella outbreak and afterwards their insurance told them they could no longer sell it or they wouldn't have any coverage.
My mom is prediabetic and my dad diabetic im going to be home for at least a month(medical issues still in the hospital)so i am putting them on a low carb diet. Not only is it extremely expensive it is time consuming. My mom is 65 years old works 40 to 45 hours a week(already retired and had to go back to work because they couldn't afford to live off social security. One she doesn't have time to cook these healthy meals every day from scratch and two if it wasn't for the fact that because im out of work and qualified for medicaid and food stamps we wouldn't be able to afford to even try to make these healthy low carb meals. I told my parents that if after all my surgeries and they prohibited me from going back to my normal job(i work out in the field installing septics) i am going to start trying to sell healthy meals for people who would like my parents cant afford or have time to make these meals. And thats only if i can figure out how to make them and they taste ok. Lol my daughter tells me i can burn water.
IDC how much I gotta pay for food, as long as it's the best quality. My husband said he would work 4 jobs if it meant we can afford the best quality food (he actually has a very good job that pays VERY WELL. Well enough for me to stay at home with my son, pay for our house, necessities and then some). When i started introducing cows milk to my son, we went through like 10 different types of milk before we found the one he loves. And it's the grass fed raw cows milk that's like 10$ at the store.
I'm 54 and grew up on raw cow milk and raw goat milk. Hmm I survived all 54 years. The best thing when I was a kid was fresh warm milk straight from the cow, before my mom took off the cream, and got cornbread. Nothing in the world is as good as fresh milk
I haven't watched this video. Am I interested in watching it? No. But I just want to say this: My dad knows milk. He grew up in a farm and he can drink a milk and know: the age of the cow, what the cow eats, and if it's the cow's first calf. Here's the danger of raw milk: cows can be stinky and dirty. Most cow farmers don't take the extra time to clean their cows. If the utter touches fecal matter and then you drink the raw milk from the cow you are in danger of getting ecoli poisoning. If this cow boy doesn't talk about it then he's either stupid or he purposefully didn't tell you so he doesn't have to take the extra time to clean his cows before he milks them. There's no law in cleaning your cows before milking them. And to be honest, most diary farmers don't want to take the time to do it and doesn't want one more enforcement by the food industry to tell them what to do. If you wanna drink raw milk, go for it. But make sure you know if the farmer cleans his cows' utters before he milks them. If there's no way to certain that the cows are cleaned, then be safe and drink the store milk until you know for certain. Just speaking truth here. Don't shoot me for telling the truth.
Um.... What you are speaking isn't really accurate though. First of all, utter is a manner of speech, cows have an udder. Only one udder per cow, not multiple as in udders. When you say "clean the cows" are you talking about cleaning the udder, or do you believe a cow needs a full body bath twice a day before milking? Also, when machine milking there is very little chance of any manure actually getting into the milk anyway, it's a closed system that is meant to prevent contamination. I don't know why you would say "to be honest" dairy farmers don't want to take the time to be sanitary, that's a rather bizarre statement to make since you obviously don't personally know any dairy farmers. Not to mention the fact that these farmers are feeding this milk to THEIR OWN families too, why on earth would they not want it clean?
I was raised on straight cows milk! I remember when I left home and tasted milk from the grocery store. Yuck! Growing up none of my siblings or me had a broken bone . We made butter out of the cream that settled on top and took turns rolling it in a gallon jug and made butter. My parents were smart and made good use of us kids rolling the gallon jug . Kids these days are stuck on video games , we were making butter❤
For me, raw milk taste like what the cow ate. We would get raw milk from our neighbor. It was thick and creamy, like eggnog. The taste was the smell of hay.
We use to get raw milk from the dairy in town before they closed. The milk was so good. I had a hard time drinking store bought. It doesn't taste the same.
Depends where you get it from. If you get it from a dairy that is clean and sanitary, it decreases the risk. Big farmers are putting out massive amounts of milk and aren’t worried about sanitation’s as much because it will go be pasteurized. Find a good local to get it from.
I get my milk from a local dairy just a few miles up the road. Its so much better than store bought. Their chocolate milk is the best I've had. They also do eggnog in the winter.
My grandma used to get her milk from her neighbours that had cows that were all vet checked on the regular, she coud make her own cream and butter and cottage cheese. It's not the raw milk that is bad, it's the companies that can't or won't care for their girls' health and allow infections to spread.
My grandfather had a dairy farm and I grew up drinking raw milk. Now I almost 60 years old and I can’t even drink milk. I been lactose intolerant since I was 30 years old. How come so many people are lactose intolerance including children now?
Many people diagnosed as lactose intolerant really aren't. They just have trouble digesting the high heat pasteurized, homogenized stuff we have in the stores. Pasteurization is only ONE of the problems with store bought milk, homogenizing it brings on a whole other host of issues.
Goblet cells in the stomach decrease lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) production after the age of 5. It’s normal. Some peoples cells produce enough lactase to effectively break down lactose, some people don’t.
I never felt better than when I was drinking raw milk. It is so good! The only bad thing is that I was exposed to TB when I was a child by drinking raw milk. Pasteurization would have preventes that. I'm not sick, but I always will react positively to the tine test for TB & could possibly get the disease if my resistance is down.
I remember when I was young my mom bought raw milk from an Amish market once. It had a slight green tinge and tasted/ smelled like grass. I personally couldn’t handle the taste but besides the obvious color and taste there was a major difference.
Having grown up on a dairy farm and milked cows, I would think that that milk probably wasn’t taken care of right. As far as I was taught and understand, raw milk should have no obvious/off flavor and shouldn’t be any color except white/creamish (the less cream the milk has the whiter it will be.
@@raylenenielsen5943 quite possible the milk was not treated well,but we would not have known if so. Either way no one got sick from it so we assume it was fine. I just remember it sitting next to the store bought milk and noticing it looked a bit green compared to the white milk. And upon opening the container it was in, the smell of grass hitting my nostrils lol. This was over 15 yrs ago, my parents were trying to eat a healthier diet and it was around the time that rumors of bovine hormones along with certain antibiotics could cause health issues. So they started looking for healthy alternatives.
@@yeahno9380 That is definitely not the normal at all. Whether the cows had some kind of mineral imbalance or the milk wasn't kept properly, something was not done right there.
I use to drink raw milk as a child, along with every single ansestor on my family tree(and yours) now we are told "naughty, naughty" do you ever get the feeling someone is shitting on your plate and telling you its chocolate cake. 🇬🇧❤️🥩❤️🥓❤️🥩❤️🇬🇧
*Shop on the edges - that’s where the food is* … I never even thought about it before - but he’s right!! The highly processed foods are down the isles while the whole foods are on the edges.
Grew up drinking at least two gallons a week until my uncle transitioned from the dairy farming and focused on cash crops. I'll never forget that fresh milk from his refridgerated holding tank.
TB is almost completely eradicated in US dairy herds, and is something that can fairly easily be tested for in the cattle if you are still concerned. We have had the TB eradication program in place since 1917.
We do pathogen counts on every single batch of milk at the dairy where I work. If a batch has counts even half as high as what is considered "safe" for milk that has already been pasteurized, we dump the entire batch-- still haven't seen that happen though, because living milk has its own immune system: macrophages, beneficial microorganisms, and antimicrobial compounds. Viruses and harmful bacteria don't even have a chance to colonize. If a cow is sick, we don't milk her. Meanwhile, up to 40% of cows on commercial dairies nationwide have mastitis, but you would never know there's pus in the milk because they cook it and homogenize it. Yum.
Everybody’s an armchair scientist. I love it. It’s like asking a painter, how safe to lead paint? I painted with it every day and I don’t notice any problems.
Well, the painter is the expert, why not ask him? Thing is, the people that produce food products like this get these questions and doubts CONSTANTLY, and trust me they have done tons of research on the topic. You don't need a degree to understand a pretty simple subject like this. You just need common sense.
Pasteurisation is a process that helps milk remain fresher for longer so that it can be distributed to many people and used before it turns sour. This is essential for people who live in urban centres where cows aren't close by. If you live close to the cows, fresh raw milk is an option.
Milk in Cuba definitely tasted different than whatever watered down milk they have here. That was a decade ago though. Not sure they can even afford that anymore.
If I put a pitcher of sweet tea on the counter it’s going to get mold on it, but if you put a pitcher of properly fermented kombucha on the counter it will keep the mold away and just get more intense in flavor. Properly produced raw milk is a complete food and resists unhealthy spoilage.
I grew up on a dairy farm. We drank raw milk till dad quit milking. Nothing better than ice cold milk out of the bulk tank in the morning. Never had lactose intolerance until drinking store bought milk.
What boggles my mind is that Raw Milk is crazy expensive compared to store bought milk even though store bought went through a much more extensive process which in my mind would justify a higher price compared to Raw Milk
I was raised on rawmilk my whole childhood. I mean rawmilk because i was the one milking the jersey cow by hand twice a day. I didn't get sick until I stopped drinking rawmilk. I wish I had never stopped drinking rawmilk.❤
I don't drink milk. Not lactose intolerant, just don't like the taste. Maybe a splash of milk in cereal, but that's all I can manage. Nothing else seems to work with cereal. I only started doing that a few years ago, in my late thirties. Almond-milk is murder.
I never compromise on the food I buy. I can invest very little in garbage food now and pay heavily with my health in the future. Or I can invest more in clean organic food now and save myself the investment in doctors in the future. Which is really more expensive? I’ve lived by this for over 20 years. Food is either the best or worst investment in your health that you can make
for widespread distribution, pasteurized is better. however, if you have fresh milk, just drink that instead. it tastes better and you won't have to worry about foodborne pathogens for a long time.
If youre going to drink raw milk, make sure youre aware of the cleanliness of the farm youre getting it from or milk the cow yourself. I worked on a dairy farm for 4 years. It was not uncommon for mastitis (infection), blood, and feces to get into the milk. We always passed inspection even with this happening, because it is normal for this to happen.
As a kid we had a local farmer that had a few dairy cows. He would leave fresh milk in those containers people now use as planters in his cold shed. He sold it on the honor system. People left money in an old King Edward cigar box. We would get a few quarts of milk which would be heavy with cream. And then a city woman move in locally,and complained about the ' possibility of getting sick ,and told the govt. They shut him down. So much for the best homebaked food ever.
We are a family of 9 and have been drinking raw milk for 5 years. We buy it from a grass fed, organic, certified A2 provider. Their has been so many benefits for my family. My children are never sick. Physically my children are just a ball of muscle. None of my children are obese. One of my children was autistic (nonverbal) and actually started talking again after we made the transition. The changes in my autistic daughter was pretty dramatic within a week. There is a bunch of studies out there about autism benefiting from raw milk if anyone wants to research it.
When I was young we often went to the farmer next to us to buy milk. But during my late childhood they were not allowed anymore to sell the milk right after the cows had been milked, it had to be pasteurised. There is no milk that tastes as good as raw milk, I never found something similar.
We drank raw milk growing up. It was cheaper than milk from the store. We didn't know it was better for us. In fact, we were a little embarrassed that we could not afford store milk
As someone who handmilks a cow daily. I can second that raw milk is not only healthy, but delicious. It does depend on the cow’s breed though. I think that each breed has different types of milk taste wise.
It is fat content of the milk and protein but also the diet of the cow that affects the taste .
Molasses will make their milk sweeter, if they eat hay vs grass it will taste very different, if you add corn or corn silage those two just because the one is fermented will in fact make it taste different. You can manipulate taste more than people think.

I stopped drinking milk because it caused me acne. I read it’s from the hormones. We started buying raw milk from a farm because I wanted to good bacteria. Love it, I do not get acne, I can drink a liter without any problems, so the pasteurization was the problem, not the hormones. I visited my dad and he put a little bit of milk in the salad dressing, I used the toilet like ten times. I can’t have any pasteurized milk anymore just like I can’t eat processed food like popcorn from the cinema or pizza and fries after I completely stopped eating out or buying processed foods. My body can’t handle these bad foods anymore and I‘m kind of proud. People don’t believe when I say I can’t eat this, they think I overreact or I‘m on a crazy diet and just pretend like I can’t eat junkfood.
You can get harmful bacteria as well. Just boil your fucking milk before drinking it or turn it into cheese or yogurt.
Raw milk farmers don’t have to give the cows hormones bc they take care of their diet & environment ❤ they feed them grass so they get the minerals from the earth to stay healthy. Commercial pasturized dairy farmers pump the cows full of hormones to keep them producing milk. They want them making milk all year when they are only supposed to produce it for a calf. So they go against nature & that’s why the milk is full of hormones & bad bacteria. They also don’t let them graze or be Purdy& their indoor living conditions are filthy. I also switched to raw milk & I e recently started drinking it more & I swear it’s like better than coffee at giving me every. If I get a stomach ache I drink some & it helps digest the food bc of the enzymes. ❤❤😊
no I completely understand. It's like how when you give up sugar you notice how naturally sweet many things are, eg, milk has a sweetness to it.
You’re completely valid. My bf grew up eating fresh everything bc they have cows and hunt. He always has digestive issues when he eats processed food.

And makes butter too.

I 100% agree with the benefits. However, it almost killed my 2 oldest kids. E. Coli, HUS, 2 weeks in the PICU, dialysis and blood transfusions. It's not without risk, but there aren't many things that are. We won't touch it again with a 10 ft pole. He's not wrong about the salad either. It might be rare, but it does happen, especially to young kids.
Im sorry to hear that. I hop they are ok now. How did you figure it was the milk? Could it have been anything else?
That doesn't sound like a benefit at all. Certainly not worth the trade-offs. What precisely is better in the raw milk compared to pasteurized?
It has more nutrients and vitamins. People have died or been hospitalized from listeria in pasteurized milk. Both have their pros and cons. People have died from e coli in broccoli, there are still benefits to eating broccoli.@@jfkst1
I don't know if there is any legitimate benefits. But from my understanding of things apparently pasteurized milk is bad because it taking some nutrients away from the milk. At least that's what raw milk drinkers argue
You want to know why she got e coli? Because the cows were not being cleaned properly and it was touching feces. If you take care of the cow like you're supposed to you won't have any problems. If it touches anything on the ground that could cause problems then you're just asking for it.
This conversation makes me smile.
Loved this interview. Especially that he got emotional just bringing up the name of Jesus and that he brought his family with him and they prayed over the interview beforehand.
There was a study about raw milk protecting kids from Strep A infections. It does! Plus, there are wonderful bacteria in raw milk that helps your gut flora.
The issue is government control.
As somebody that grew up on Raw Milk and now (at age 50) found a Raw Milk dairy close by (50 miles away) honesty say there is no comparison- it tastes delicious!!!
Same. Other than mortgage, our most expensive bill is groceries (nutritious good healthy ingredients).
I cannot drink store bought milk as I get very gassy, but when I drink raw milk, my stomach is completely fine. I have no pain. I also like the taste a lot better as it doesn’t have that whole milk taste. We will forever drink our raw milk from our trusted farmer.
My family has been on raw milk for 5 years. We have no issue on raw milk. But when we buy store bought milk our stomachs go nuts. My kids run when they see store bought milk. Even they know
I’ve been buying raw for 1 year. Raw milk has all the good bacteria to heal gut health.
So many of us are unable to get raw milk from a known&safe source or completely organic food. On a $175-200 per month grocery budget for myself and chicken legs or thighs for my dog, I do the very best I can though, and this mindfulness about what we eat makes a huge difference to our health. “Shop the edges” of the supermarket” is such a valuable truth. ❤️
Impeccible timing!! I just tried Raw milk for the 1st time yesterday and i was surprised by how much better n cleaner it tasted! Very creamy & sweet 🐄🤍
I was raised on a dairy farm that’s all we ever drank. We take it straight from the cow. Before it was even loaded into the tanks to be pasteurized that’s how we drank our milk and I’m now 67 years old
Not everyone is that lucky also you were raised to be okay with certain bacteria. A child raised in a now society then just given a tit to suck . Could become deafly sick. For many reasons especially hygiene of the cows itself and it's tit . Even serving it in a cup still kids today are not all able to handle those bacterias .
I love raw milk!! I raised dairy goats for years and loved their milk. I grew up on raw cows milk , and it is very healthy for you, never had a cavity!
I have Nubians and Nigerian Dwarfs…we love the milk!! Healthy animal+clean handling=healthy milk!
@@genesismccormack7540 I love Nigerian Dwarfs! Super cute, and have the funniest personalities!
I was surprised the first time I tried our goats milk it was even more mild flavored than pasteurized cows milk
@@pr0xyg673 it’s so creamy! Ours is almost like drinking half and half.
I grew up in Guyana on raw milk nothing added just scald it every morning.....until I moved to Canada and the milk tasted like water . And the cream is amazing.
I agree that raw milk is almost always safe. It’s just that I can’t risk giving my kids tuberculosis. Awful disease, not worth the risk in my opinion.
It's only a risk if you're not taking care of your cow and you're just letting it run around in feces. Animals are a big responsibility just like kids. You have to make sure they are clean before you milk them. I didn't realize how many people were uneducated
TB has been almost totally eradicated from US dairy cattle. If you are concerned, you can ask for the farmer to test their cattle, or ask if they do test.
Grew up on a dairy farm. We drank raw milk every day
Raw milk needs to be grass-fed, and you need a sterile milking operation where the floors, walls, and fixtures are thoroughly cleaned with bleach, and where the animals' udders are cleaned carefully with a gentle cleaning and sanitizing detergent mixture like soap and vinegar to clean any fecal residue from the surface of the udder before the milking pumps are attached, and the milking pumps should be dipped in sanitizing solution between cows. It's literally that simple. Way fewer steps and failure points than major dairy operations with feedlot animals laying knee-deep in their own feces all day.
I agree with everything but the grass fed part. I'm a dairy farmer. Tastes milk from conventional and grass fed. Also seen tests run on both. There is no difference.
It does NOT have to be grass fed. Most dairy cows these days are not genetically able to produce milk and maintain body condition without grain feeding. You literally have to look for grass fed genetics in order to do this without starving your cow to death.
Getting a small percentage increase of nutrients that won’t affect your overall heath isn’t worth the risk of food born pathogens. There is a reason we pasteurize dairy, it’s to avoid the several outbreaks we have had in the past.
Food born illnesses have mostly been from lettuce
That's what I would figure. Also there's no way I trust other people to keep their cows clean enough to drink raw milk all the time. Your own cows absolutely. Other people's? No way.
Sounds like the standards for the lives of the cows need to be raised rather then changing the milk
Na there will always be a risk. If the cow gets sick and we drink that raw milk we have a chance of getting that illness. There's no way for any profitable farm to be able to test their cows each time before they milk them and be profitable. Even then there is a chance that the illness is it the initial stages and is difficult to detect or a test error. You can drink raw milk if you want but I'm not risking it. It's like eating raw meat. All it takes is one bad meat for you to get seriously sick.
Thank you!!! I want to rant but I won't. I just super agree with this statement.
I was blessed as a child to have unpasteurized milk.
My babysitter was a dairy farmer and not only did I get the unpasteurized milk at their house, but they would send us home with a jug every few days.
My great grandma was the milk lady of our village. She’d strain the milk with cheese cloths and then we’d go fetch some in a bucket. Never had any problems with it when we visit from the USA.
Grew up drinking raw milk and it was the best.
Raw milk tastes like what the cow eats. A diary farm near me has grass fed and that milk tastes grassy. It took getting used to but it’s so much better than what’s on the shelf at the store
That does not sound better lol
@@Rachel-er5tl
It’s significantly healthier. Think of it this way:
A kid given donuts and processed foods every day doesn’t like real food. They are often picky and finicky. It’s because they are addicts to the chemicals in their food.
@@joyfulhomemaker8053 that’s a theory for sure. And it has nothing to do with pasteurizing your milk!
@@joyfulhomemaker8053 That actually might be a mineral imbalance in the cattle. It should definitely not taste like grass, that's not normal. I keep a cow or two for our own family and have for many years. If you haven't already, mention that taste to the farmer.
@@gentlegiants04
If you get cow or goat milk from animals that eat primarily grass, the milk is grassy. I’ve experienced this from local farms while in a few different states. It’s always the same. The ones that don’t are the primarily grain fed animals.
I used to get raw goat milk from my goat milk lady and she told me that pasteurization kills the enzymes in the milk that are necessary for your stomach to digest that milk. That's why so many people are lactose intolerant. (Now there are other reasons for being lactose intolerant too, but there could be a bunch of people that didn't have to be lactose intolerant.....just sayin').
Many of those people actually are NOT lactose intolerant, they just can't digest store bought milk and have never tried raw. They wind up getting a diagnosis from their doctor that says they can't drink milk and they never think about it any farther past that, or try anything else.
Vegetables don't come out of a cow and I still wash them.
Do you sanitize breast milk you feed babies?
I see how you are trying to make an attempt at associations here but I think your processed foods and public school education may have proven here that both should be avoided if possible.
@@LifetimelearningisbraveI have no idea I don't have a baby or know anyone with a baby. I don't know what that has to do with processed foods or public school. You should ask someone that has a baby.
You wash the cow udders before milking for the same reason that you wash fruits and veggies after picking… do you wash your watermelon after you cut it open or before? The illness is from contamination from the environment outside of the milk, not the inside.
@@Lifetimelearningisbraveno because breast milk is sterile and normally given to baby directly from breast ie it is consumed straight away. It’s also a food made by a human for a human. Breast milk is the perfect food for growing infants. I’m not into pasteurisation either but I feel raw cows milk is different because it’s from a different species, doesn’t tend to be drank straight away and we don’t directly know the source. Breast milk for a baby is much cleaner and is species appropriate so I’m now sure the comparisons weighs up.
@@Lifetimelearningisbrave the difference is the chance of introducing pathogens. Breastmilk goes straight from the source into the baby's mouth. Raw milk can be fine. It can also be contaminated, same for pasteurized milk. I will drink raw if I know where it was milked. Ironically, my 13 yr old milks our goats and we definitely don't drink it raw. It get pasteurized. We believe the chores are more important for her than drinking raw milk. She will improve in her skill over time.
Milked our own cow for 20 years..never got sick
I grew up drinking raw milk. Absolutely no problems. As soon as I went into the army and drank pasteurized milk, I started getting sick.
My kids went with their grandmother to an old friend of hers dairy farm and had raw milk for the first time. My kids only drink milk if there is chocolate in it or in their cereal. They loved the raw milk. The two quarts that they brought home were gone in a day.
I've drank plenty of raw milk, never ever made me sick.
And I am 70 yrs old.
I think that maybe most of you don't realize why they are pasteurizing the milk to begin with. My great-uncle died from drinking milk from a cow that had mad cow disease. It's very hard to tell if the cows are carrying something that can make you sick, but it can be deadly. I'm not saying raw milk is bad, but there's a reason why they pasteurized it to begin with.
you're kinda defeating your own argument here, yes we pastuerized to fix the problems we created by not looking after the cows.
Yes, we also used to give kids applejack, a fermented slightly alcoholic apple drink because water is unsanitary.. is… wait… WAS because we have technology for sterilizing things now!!!
@brunetteXer the argument is it can be bad. And it's true. You have to be very very very sure that the seller is 100% extremely clean. And yes dairy farmers cause alot of issues cuz they are not clean. So it's about farmers stepping it up to prevent illness passed on th humans through their product. Thats a huge liability by the way. Also raw milk is so damn. Expensive
No, your uncle did NOT get mad cow from drinking raw milk. That is NOT how prion diseases are spread. Pasteurization is relatively low temperature compared to autoclaving and even an autoclave cannot reliably kill prions. Maybe he got listeria or something.
Well, you can boil the milk all you want and you'll still get Creutzfeld-Jacob disease if the cow has mad cow disease. However, the reason why they pasteurize the milk is so you will not get the very dangerous bacterias that sometime is in milk. Do not drinkn raw milk. It's like eating raw meat. We don't do it, because the risks outweigh the benefit.
Legitimate question though - what about pasteurization also killing bacteria from cow illnesses like mastitis or infection that can release pus or blood into the milk? I know that "naturally raised" cows are less likely to have those sorts of issues without being loaded up with hormones and antibiotics, but it's not impossible.
I knew a dairy farmer. When the milk truck came he tested his milk and once the truck left the driver tested the milk. If the trucker came back with a contaminated test the last farmer had to pay all the other farms what their milk cost because they dumped the whole truck and sanitized the tank.
@@robinyoung7414 I grew up on a dairy farm, and we never milked sick or medicated cows into the big holding tanks. We hooked up a separate five gallon pail to each sick cow. That milk, along with the colostrum from fresh cows, was fed to the calves. We also had “Chester the tester” come each month to test our milk to make sure it was safe to sell (we sold raw milk from our barn).
@@raylenenielsen5943 That is good to know, thank you. I hope that is a regular practice on other dairy farms.
@@robinyoung7414 to my knowledge it is. I can’t imagine otherwise.
Farmers know their cows. A cow that has mastitis is NEVER going to have her milk added to the bulk tank that is going to consumers. And if there was blood in it, it's VERY obvious. Consider the color difference. I have had a cow break a blood vessel in her udder and have blood in the milk several times, there is absolutely no mistaking it. You continue to milk the cow to help cure the infection and you dump the milk or feed it to pigs, etc.
Cows milk is not created for human consumption, and yet we put it in so many foods and beverages and wonder why we have an obesity problem. I'm not saying it's just the milk causing it, but it's a HUGE contributing factor.
Who says it's not for human consumption?
@@gentlegiants04it’s literally produced for baby cows and has pregnancy hormones in it. You think people are supposed to ingest cow pregnancy hormones?
Dad bought fresh squeezed from Mrs Magraw every Monday and Thursday for our milk.
Because raw salad comes from the earth. Raw milk comes from inside an animal's body. We typically dont eat raw meat either, unless its of a very high quality and even then its only under specific circumstances and comes with various risks.
If you wash the teats etc beforehand raw milk is fine to drink and far healthier than pasteurised muck. I can drink milk straight from the cow no problem yet drink pasteurised milk and feel sickly after drinking it. Does not taste anything like real milk.
that’s the most important thing to spend money on! you can’t put a price on your health!
Raw milk tastes nothing like store bought milk. It’s rich and creamy and delicious. That probably has to do with higher cream content though. It tastes like melted ice cream to me
I literally am lactose intolerant after the heating process I don’t understand why but my mother has it too
That's not uncommon. Many people cannot digest it well after it has been processed. Not only the pasteurization but the homogenization makes the milk far harder to digest, which leads to a lot of false diagnosis of lactose intolerance.
It's due to insurance, a local dairy farm near me used to sell their milk raw, then they had a salmonella outbreak and afterwards their insurance told them they could no longer sell it or they wouldn't have any coverage.
My mom is prediabetic and my dad diabetic im going to be home for at least a month(medical issues still in the hospital)so i am putting them on a low carb diet. Not only is it extremely expensive it is time consuming. My mom is 65 years old works 40 to 45 hours a week(already retired and had to go back to work because they couldn't afford to live off social security. One she doesn't have time to cook these healthy meals every day from scratch and two if it wasn't for the fact that because im out of work and qualified for medicaid and food stamps we wouldn't be able to afford to even try to make these healthy low carb meals.
I told my parents that if after all my surgeries and they prohibited me from going back to my normal job(i work out in the field installing septics) i am going to start trying to sell healthy meals for people who would like my parents cant afford or have time to make these meals.
And thats only if i can figure out how to make them and they taste ok. Lol my daughter tells me i can burn water.
IDC how much I gotta pay for food, as long as it's the best quality. My husband said he would work 4 jobs if it meant we can afford the best quality food (he actually has a very good job that pays VERY WELL. Well enough for me to stay at home with my son, pay for our house, necessities and then some).
When i started introducing cows milk to my son, we went through like 10 different types of milk before we found the one he loves. And it's the grass fed raw cows milk that's like 10$ at the store.
I'm 54 and grew up on raw cow milk and raw goat milk. Hmm I survived all 54 years. The best thing when I was a kid was fresh warm milk straight from the cow, before my mom took off the cream, and got cornbread. Nothing in the world is as good as fresh milk
I haven't watched this video. Am I interested in watching it? No. But I just want to say this:
My dad knows milk. He grew up in a farm and he can drink a milk and know: the age of the cow, what the cow eats, and if it's the cow's first calf. Here's the danger of raw milk: cows can be stinky and dirty. Most cow farmers don't take the extra time to clean their cows. If the utter touches fecal matter and then you drink the raw milk from the cow you are in danger of getting ecoli poisoning. If this cow boy doesn't talk about it then he's either stupid or he purposefully didn't tell you so he doesn't have to take the extra time to clean his cows before he milks them.
There's no law in cleaning your cows before milking them. And to be honest, most diary farmers don't want to take the time to do it and doesn't want one more enforcement by the food industry to tell them what to do.
If you wanna drink raw milk, go for it. But make sure you know if the farmer cleans his cows' utters before he milks them. If there's no way to certain that the cows are cleaned, then be safe and drink the store milk until you know for certain.
Just speaking truth here. Don't shoot me for telling the truth.
Um.... What you are speaking isn't really accurate though. First of all, utter is a manner of speech, cows have an udder. Only one udder per cow, not multiple as in udders. When you say "clean the cows" are you talking about cleaning the udder, or do you believe a cow needs a full body bath twice a day before milking? Also, when machine milking there is very little chance of any manure actually getting into the milk anyway, it's a closed system that is meant to prevent contamination. I don't know why you would say "to be honest" dairy farmers don't want to take the time to be sanitary, that's a rather bizarre statement to make since you obviously don't personally know any dairy farmers. Not to mention the fact that these farmers are feeding this milk to THEIR OWN families too, why on earth would they not want it clean?
Just love Raw Milk, raw cheese and butter too 💜
Thank you
I was raised on straight cows milk! I remember when I left home and tasted milk from the grocery store. Yuck! Growing up none of my siblings or me had a broken bone . We made butter out of the cream that settled on top and took turns rolling it in a gallon jug and made butter. My parents were smart and made good use of us kids rolling the gallon jug . Kids these days are stuck on video games , we were making butter❤
For me, raw milk taste like what the cow ate. We would get raw milk from our neighbor. It was thick and creamy, like eggnog. The taste was the smell of hay.
My husband grew up with milk being delivered straight from the local dairy farm
We use to get raw milk from the dairy in town before they closed. The milk was so good. I had a hard time drinking store bought. It doesn't taste the same.
Depends where you get it from. If you get it from a dairy that is clean and sanitary, it decreases the risk. Big farmers are putting out massive amounts of milk and aren’t worried about sanitation’s as much because it will go be pasteurized. Find a good local to get it from.
I drink it all the time. Tastes great, never got sick.
Raw milk is great for you
Raw milk used to be the primary way to transmit tuberculosis and brucellosis to people
Thousands of years we are drinking raw milk
I get my milk from a local dairy just a few miles up the road. Its so much better than store bought. Their chocolate milk is the best I've had. They also do eggnog in the winter.
Grew up on raw milk ..never had stomach problems until I started drinking store bought milk
My grandma used to get her milk from her neighbours that had cows that were all vet checked on the regular, she coud make her own cream and butter and cottage cheese. It's not the raw milk that is bad, it's the companies that can't or won't care for their girls' health and allow infections to spread.
Well…we wash salad so we minimize the possibility of getting sick, so…also salads don’t carry the same kind of bacteria or diseases
My grandfather had a dairy farm and I grew up drinking raw milk. Now I almost 60 years old and I can’t even drink milk. I been lactose intolerant since I was 30 years old. How come so many people are lactose intolerance including children now?
Many people diagnosed as lactose intolerant really aren't. They just have trouble digesting the high heat pasteurized, homogenized stuff we have in the stores. Pasteurization is only ONE of the problems with store bought milk, homogenizing it brings on a whole other host of issues.
Goblet cells in the stomach decrease lactase (the enzyme that digests lactose) production after the age of 5. It’s normal. Some peoples cells produce enough lactase to effectively break down lactose, some people don’t.
I never felt better than when I was drinking raw milk. It is so good! The only bad thing is that I was exposed to TB when I was a child by drinking raw milk. Pasteurization would have preventes that. I'm not sick, but I always will react positively to the tine test for TB & could possibly get the disease if my resistance is down.
I remember when I was young my mom bought raw milk from an Amish market once. It had a slight green tinge and tasted/ smelled like grass. I personally couldn’t handle the taste but besides the obvious color and taste there was a major difference.
Having grown up on a dairy farm and milked cows, I would think that that milk probably wasn’t taken care of right. As far as I was taught and understand, raw milk should have no obvious/off flavor and shouldn’t be any color except white/creamish (the less cream the milk has the whiter it will be.
@@raylenenielsen5943 quite possible the milk was not treated well,but we would not have known if so. Either way no one got sick from it so we assume it was fine. I just remember it sitting next to the store bought milk and noticing it looked a bit green compared to the white milk. And upon opening the container it was in, the smell of grass hitting my nostrils lol. This was over 15 yrs ago, my parents were trying to eat a healthier diet and it was around the time that rumors of bovine hormones along with certain antibiotics could cause health issues. So they started looking for healthy alternatives.
@@yeahno9380 That is definitely not the normal at all. Whether the cows had some kind of mineral imbalance or the milk wasn't kept properly, something was not done right there.
I use to drink raw milk as a child, along with every single ansestor on my family tree(and yours) now we are told "naughty, naughty" do you ever get the feeling someone is shitting on your plate and telling you its chocolate cake.
🇬🇧❤️🥩❤️🥓❤️🥩❤️🇬🇧
Thats another thing, it shouldn’t be expensive to eat the way we are supposed to, such a scam! 😤
*Shop on the edges - that’s where the food is* … I never even thought about it before - but he’s right!! The highly processed foods are down the isles while the whole foods are on the edges.
My dad had milk cows...we drank it every day..I could not drink store bought milk for a long time. Store bought made me🤮
Grew up drinking at least two gallons a week until my uncle transitioned from the dairy farming and focused on cash crops. I'll never forget that fresh milk from his refridgerated holding tank.
I am not a fan of live tuberculosis. And no, coffee is not hot enough.
TB is almost completely eradicated in US dairy herds, and is something that can fairly easily be tested for in the cattle if you are still concerned. We have had the TB eradication program in place since 1917.
We do pathogen counts on every single batch of milk at the dairy where I work. If a batch has counts even half as high as what is considered "safe" for milk that has already been pasteurized, we dump the entire batch-- still haven't seen that happen though, because living milk has its own immune system: macrophages, beneficial microorganisms, and antimicrobial compounds. Viruses and harmful bacteria don't even have a chance to colonize. If a cow is sick, we don't milk her. Meanwhile, up to 40% of cows on commercial dairies nationwide have mastitis, but you would never know there's pus in the milk because they cook it and homogenize it. Yum.
Everybody’s an armchair scientist. I love it. It’s like asking a painter, how safe to lead paint? I painted with it every day and I don’t notice any problems.
Well, the painter is the expert, why not ask him? Thing is, the people that produce food products like this get these questions and doubts CONSTANTLY, and trust me they have done tons of research on the topic. You don't need a degree to understand a pretty simple subject like this. You just need common sense.
Raw milk is delicious!!! The best is when it gets a little tangy.
Raw milk also stays drinkable way longer
Pasteurisation is a process that helps milk remain fresher for longer so that it can be distributed to many people and used before it turns sour. This is essential for people who live in urban centres where cows aren't close by. If you live close to the cows, fresh raw milk is an option.
😂😂😂 I was just wondering that this morning as I strained fresh cream into my coffee cup!
Milk in Cuba definitely tasted different than whatever watered down milk they have here. That was a decade ago though. Not sure they can even afford that anymore.
If I put a pitcher of sweet tea on the counter it’s going to get mold on it, but if you put a pitcher of properly fermented kombucha on the counter it will keep the mold away and just get more intense in flavor. Properly produced raw milk is a complete food and resists unhealthy spoilage.
His skin and mood say it all
I cant tell you how many times ive taken a cup and scooped milk out of the bulk tank and drank it..... never got sick or had any issues.
My dumb self has been doing this with my coffee!!!! It didn’t click until now! I know better now thank you!
I’ll take my milk well done. Thanks
In the UK our cattle are regularly removed from circulation because they carry TB. Badgers and other wildlife carry it so the cows get it too.
I grew up on a dairy farm. We drank raw milk till dad quit milking. Nothing better than ice cold milk out of the bulk tank in the morning. Never had lactose intolerance until drinking store bought milk.
The issue is the trust put into companies to uphold a standard rather than cutti g corners and getting masses deathly sick.
“Nutritionally perfect food” for BABY COWS!
What boggles my mind is that Raw Milk is crazy expensive compared to store bought milk even though store bought went through a much more extensive process which in my mind would justify a higher price compared to Raw Milk
god save us from evil support farmers amen ❤❤❤❤
I was raised on rawmilk my whole childhood. I mean rawmilk because i was the one milking the jersey cow by hand twice a day. I didn't get sick until I stopped drinking rawmilk. I wish I had never stopped drinking rawmilk.❤
I don't drink milk. Not lactose intolerant, just don't like the taste.
Maybe a splash of milk in cereal, but that's all I can manage. Nothing else seems to work with cereal. I only started doing that a few years ago, in my late thirties.
Almond-milk is murder.
Is this all milk, or have you tried raw?
I never compromise on the food I buy. I can invest very little in garbage food now and pay heavily with my health in the future. Or I can invest more in clean organic food now and save myself the investment in doctors in the future. Which is really more expensive? I’ve lived by this for over 20 years. Food is either the best or worst investment in your health that you can make
for widespread distribution, pasteurized is better.
however, if you have fresh milk, just drink that instead. it tastes better and you won't have to worry about foodborne pathogens for a long time.
If youre going to drink raw milk, make sure youre aware of the cleanliness of the farm youre getting it from or milk the cow yourself. I worked on a dairy farm for 4 years. It was not uncommon for mastitis (infection), blood, and feces to get into the milk. We always passed inspection even with this happening, because it is normal for this to happen.
Lived on a dairy farm- it's not even close! Raw milk is amazing.
I've had fresh milk. I was surprised at the taste. I wasn't sure what to expect. What I got was creamy, grassy milk.
Please explain what exactly Louie pastures invention does?
I generally wash my salad many times as well, I don't eat it as it is...anything raw has to be cleaned really well before eating it...
Raw milk was fed to us in juvenile camp . When all us boys got out we were in shape and strong. It doesn’t taste bad at all
As a kid we had a local farmer that had a few dairy cows. He would leave fresh milk in those containers people now use as planters in his cold shed. He sold it on the honor system. People left money in an old King Edward cigar box. We would get a few quarts of milk which would be heavy with cream. And then a city woman move in locally,and complained about the ' possibility of getting sick ,and told the govt. They shut him down. So much for the best homebaked food ever.
Ok, a question though. I am lactose intolerant, can I drink raw milk? I miss milk so much.
We are a family of 9 and have been drinking raw milk for 5 years. We buy it from a grass fed, organic, certified A2 provider. Their has been so many benefits for my family. My children are never sick. Physically my children are just a ball of muscle. None of my children are obese. One of my children was autistic (nonverbal) and actually started talking again after we made the transition. The changes in my autistic daughter was pretty dramatic within a week. There is a bunch of studies out there about autism benefiting from raw milk if anyone wants to research it.
When I was young we often went to the farmer next to us to buy milk. But during my late childhood they were not allowed anymore to sell the milk right after the cows had been milked, it had to be pasteurised. There is no milk that tastes as good as raw milk, I never found something similar.
I always buy raw goats milk for my kids. It’s just that it’s very expensive 30 bucks for a gallon. I haven’t found any raw a2 cows milk yet locally.
We drank raw milk growing up. It was cheaper than milk from the store. We didn't know it was better for us. In fact, we were a little embarrassed that we could not afford store milk
