- There is a new appetite in the food and wine industry for unpasteurised milk products, also known as raw milk. Foodies and restaurant diners are often wowed by the complex flavours of raw milk products, but are they safe to eat and drink?
In response to the raw milk movement, retail sales of raw milk are banned in about 20 US states. Some people say that pasteurisation kills off important nutrients, but scientists don’t believe that anything lost during pasteurisation is important for human health. We uncover the truth about raw milk.

I live in Ukraine and believe it or not, most rural people do not even know the word 'pasteurization'. Raw milk is popular throughout the whole country. My grandmother had a cow and I personally was raised on raw milk.
That said, this knowledge and experience tells me that raw milk can be absolutely healthy if certain conditions are met:
1. The cow is clean;
2. It has no health issues;
3. Its teats are disinfected;
4. The same goes for the container in which milk is gathered;
5. The gatherer should wear gloves in the working process.
Otherwise, raw milk can cause significant health issues, which I personally experienced a couple of times, buying and consuming raw milk from random people.
Yes, we know, there are always reports of people drinking pasteurized milk and having poor health compared to the ones that drink it raw, even if raw is 9 times more dangerous than eating pasteurized, we are only talking about a 0,00106% chance of becoming hospitalized from drinking raw milk, a 1 in 6 million chances, which is ridicuously low, yet disinformators media want to portrait raw milk as bad for everyone and that it's very dangerous, they obviously have a salary and are been payed out to lie and promote a narrative about the dangerous raw milk is completely safe as long as minimal health hygienic conditions are met, it was also used in medicine in the past, it's got healthy bacteria and saturated fat, after seeying all the propaganda demonizing raw milk, I think goverments all across the world just want us sick and dying, it's a very sad reality we live in, the very same people that supposedly cares for our public health does everything to lie and damage the health of it's own citizens, it's mind boggling, I just ignore everything goverments say, no one should trust them at all at this point, specially not with their health.
I live in Nigeria and believe it or not, most rural people do not even know the word 'pasteurization'. Raw milk is popular throughout the whole country. My grandmother had a gorilla and I personally was raised on raw milk.
That said, this knowledge and experience tells me that raw milk can be absolutely healthy if certain conditions are met:
1. A gorilla is clean;
2. It has no health issues;
3. Its teats are disinfected;

5. A gatherer should wear gloves in the working process.

@@Osc1llateW1ldlyprobably the least funny comment trend. If you're going to copy and paste other people's formatted jokes it should at least be moderately funny.

maybe that's why ukrainian people are some of the most attractive people in the world imo.
I don't always do the opposite of BBC health or nutrition advice, but when I do, I end up healthier.
"dont smoke cigarettes" bbc
This is untrue. Raw milk is only banned in 5 of the US states. Most of the US allows raw milk. In fact I'm picking up 3 gallons on Saturday.
I presume florida is one of them because I had to buy it as "calf feed"
3 years of raw milk and ive never had any issues. Improved my health, helped digestion, reversed chronic fatigue,asthma and rebuilt my chipped tooth. Doctors never helped but raw milk did
So very happy for you ❤
No way it rebuilt your chipped tooth?!!!!
How did it rebuild a chipped tooth?
Is this sarcasm or is this crazy story true? 😂
@@omnium_gatherumright??
I was raised on raw milk along with my brother. We never got sick. I use raw milk even today and still trust it. This video is misleading at best if not outright wrong.
Very well said. I only discovered raw milk recently. In other words I discovered all the terrible things they were doing to normal cows milk before it arrived on my supermarket shelf.
In my opinion no one is truly lactose intolerant.
A person is intolerant to the things that are done to milk before it gets to them, which then causes them to become intolerant to the milk.
Many people become plant based not realising that the actual food isn't the problem, its what is being done to or added to the food that causes their health problems. Gmo, antibiotics etc
Before milk hits the supermarket shelves it is homegised and boiled (pasteurised) stripping it of pretty much all its nutrients such as vitamins and enzymes particularly A2 proteins which are extremely important.
Today I brought some organic unhomegised milk to start my journey to raw milk. I really wanted to buy raw milk but there isn't any where I live and this is as close to decent quality milk I can get.
@@balance7350 have you looked around at some of the small farms around you? You can sometimes find someone with extra that’s willing to sell. And I believe like you, our food is all messed up and making us all sick.
Yep!
“This video is wrong because my n=1 anecdote says otherwise”
Agree!
Raw milk has healed my gut issues. If anything pasteurized milk made me super sick. 🤢. Also I don’t listen to propaganda like this video.
I believe studies indicated that it depends on the health of the cow. They need to be grass fed specifically as cellulose being part of their diet is very beneficial for them.
Omega 3 fatty acids and much more are present in grassfed milk.
The reason most developed issues back then was due to poor gut health and hygiene early Europe and America had in the 1900s and late 1800s.
Before you take any conclusions just consider that BBC posted this! So yea
Farmers and many others have been drinking unpasteuriesed milk for ages.
It's only when industrilised farming and iresponseble farmers handle milk, then it becom patogen, dangerous, then pasteurisation is a nessety.
Cool story. I’m picking up my gallon of raw milk at the farmers market tomorrow :)
BBC SAID ITS BAD! THAT MEANS ITS INCREDIBLY HEALTHY AND MAKES YOU LIVE LONGER!
🎉 off to get some now 🚀🏴
The BBC is extremely accurate if you believe the complete opposite of the story they’re trying to tell
Basically all the information in this video except about alcohol is incorrect due to misinterpretation of studies.
This is inaccurate, not surprisingly from the bbc. Cows were brought in to the towns, they were kept in bad conditions, fed waste from the brewerys instead of grass, there was poor sanitation, and yes people contracted TB. I bought raw milk yesterday in Shropshire, UK. It’s great chatting to the farmer as they are so passionate about it. The Queen & Queen mother both lived on raw milk. The Queen had raw milk delivered to princes William & Harry when they were at Eton.
I just bought Raw Milk from HEB here in the US..... Am I going to jail?
No its only banned in 5 states apparently
Okay first off Pasteur was a freemason. Also I'd suggest reading The Raw Truth About Milk by William Cambell Douglas. It is an eye opener for sure.
Pasteur was also a fraud, hack, and plagiarist who stole his work from Bechamp.
So tell us about how healthy coke products, mountain dew, pepsi and alcohol are? Or how about twinkies, cupcakes and other sugar filled snacks that are all perfectly legal? How about tobacco? Also legal. But somehow raw milk is the devil? Yum give me some of that high fructose corn syrup. But milk with healthy vitamins and healthy gut bacteria? No way!!! That stuff will kill you. Such is the state of the world.
I genuinely have my doubts that tobacco is as unhealthy as they say it is.
Notice the key word I said there was tobacco. Not cigs that are wrapped in chlorinated paper and rampant with arsenic, pesticides, etc that's so cheaply and awfully made it needs a filter to not kill you.
I'm lactose intolerant to store bought milk. My body can process raw milk just fine. ❤ I've been drinking raw milk for some time now. Also, I haven't been sick in yrs.
Raw milk combined with modern hygienic conditions has the benefit of enzymes which are harmed by heat.
Evidence?

Yes.

It’s illegal in the US cause it’s actually healthy for you!!!
So the goverment want to kill you, have you sick and your familiy?
Blessed are the cheese makers 🙏
cheese smells like old socks
There's nothing better or more healthy! It's my preferred dairy.
Nope. They may not drink raw milk, but they definitely drank the kool-aid.
Pasteurized dairy gives me suicidal depression. Id rather deal with the e coli
My grandparents used to live in a mountain village where they had many beautiful jersey milk cows. My grandma was making her living by selling butter, milk and cheese. She told she never tasted raw milk as from generation to generation it was a strict habit boiling milk first before drink it.
This is a horrible one sided video. I’ve been drinking raw milk for 15+ years in various places and I have always been fine. I am also a nutritionist and have recommended it to clients and no one has ever had a problem. In fact, it has helped them to improve their health. This video is biased and wrong.
It kills of beneficial culture but having had salmonella I will stick with a bottle of kombucha. Raw French brie cheese is really good though.
ive been drinking raw milk for a years and push up every day and running everyday. i can destroy everything with one punch only
It’s not banned in the USA. Depends on the state. But most states allow it which is good because it’s so healthy and delicious.
It can take one bad batch, not every single batch of raw milk will be bad. If you are going to drink raw milk, boil it before consumption to kill any bacteria.
We also had outbreaks with pasteurized milk and other products but nobody talks about the deaths those caused. Boiling it would remove all the good probiotics, enzymes to digest the milk, alter the proteins, and remove the vitamins/minerals from it. The raw milk cannot come from a factory farm but rather a local farm that tests their milk before they give it to consumers. Their standards of cleanliness, testing, and giving the cows their rightful diet of grass instead of pesticide soy/corn.@@valkasomething
@@valkasomething Boiling goes against the whole point, which is to retain the beneficial enzymes and proteins that are destroyed with heat.
Isn't boiling it exactly what pasteurization does?
@@valkasomethingYou just described pasteurization
Drink raw milk from grass fed cows and goats daily.
It’s not banned in all of the US but only in certain States.
I don’t get the AOP discussion that had nothing to do with raw milk, only where the milk originated from
Thank God That this video is only 8.5k and the one With raw Milk benefit are highers 🔥 😗 Truth Will always win!

Big industry always does thinks on a broader scale and a lot dirtier then a small, Traditional farm. A few bad apples led to the pasteurization nonsense, while all along, the small farms still do it correctly. Ever since the first time me and my wife had raw milk a few years ago, it's been the BEST TASTING, FRESHEST, and NO STOMACH PAINS or MYSTERY SICKNESSES - we actually felt better!

How about, rather than trsnsport milk,
Milk your own cow
Have the claims of cheese makers been verified with blind taste tests?
I'm a 5th generation dairy farmer. Been drinking raw milk for my entire life. It is healthier, thicker. Richer, creamier, and tastes better than pasteurized milk. I can't stand pasteurized milk. It doesn't taste right, or good to me. It's also too thin. I also make my own butter. It enhances the flavors of everything I use it in. Saving money, eating healthy, and enjoying better tastier foods, what else does a person need?
Completely inaccurate. Whatever happened to BBC caring about misinformation?
Scientists are prove funders point
Came here expecting highly unscientific Comments. Was not disappointed.
"My sample size of 1 proves this entire video wrong!"

@@balance7350 why?
There is much blasphemy against our Lord and Saviour- The Science: peace be upon they.
Milk has to be consumed raw and it is best when consumed raw. That is how it is designed by nature. There is no other animal (except humans) which drinks boiled pasterurised milk. But it has to be handled cleanly, which in certain situations is difficult to ascetain specially when buying from someone outside. But safe & clean handling applies to all the food material not just milk. Any food item which is not handled cleanly can contain harmful pathogens causing risk to health.
well why did people in the past have perfect health and well developed bones etc with no pasteurization processes, just raw milk straight from the udder. While we're here with all the "best" safety processes yet we're riddled with diseases and deformities
is this a joke? i can never tell
@@nova4308 either that or blind ignorance. kinda sounds like the latter to me tho.
We can still have sanitary practices whilst having the preserving enzymes in raw milk. We van have both...
while males' testosterones are plummeting, and seeing old pictures of body builders before steroids having way better muscle definition, and cancer rates going exponentially higher, I would trust the opposite the FDA or any company says about raw milk. Raw milk has been helping me and does wonders compared to pasteurized milk that caused a burning sensation. @@nova4308
Perfect health? When? When people died during their late 30s?
I grew up drinking raw milk from grass-and-hay-fed cows. Of course it wasn't transported over long distances, but came from a farmstead just a few blocks down the street and we bought one or two liters fresh every evening during milking time, just what we needed until the next evening. I never got sick and it's true - the taste is just incomparable with industrialized milk.
ALso I thought I was lactose intollerant but I was actually not able to stomach pasterized milk...only RAW milk and I feel healthy
“$cientists beLIEve”
Raw milk >>>>>>
The truth is it’s absolutely delicious!
last time I looked in the mirror, I haven't been able to find any signs that I am a baby cow, therefore no thanks

Raw cows milk is safe and indeed the perfect food, if you're a calf.
@@patrick070 Hi, it's not just lactose the intolerance by 2/3 of the worlds population. Dairy consumption increases the rates of prostrate and breast cancer.
@@GlennMarshallnz very did you get your info Google 🤔
@@GlennMarshallnz butthurt vegan spotted
@Glenn Marshall im genuinely curious, how does it increase the cancer rate?
@@zacarino1827 Hi there, dairy milk is for higher in protein and natural hormones. A calf grows far faster than a human, hence the difference in milk. E.g. dairy contains more than double the protein of human breast milk. Milk is designed to facilitate rapid growth in an baby mammal. The growth properties in dairy milk help stimulate cancer, hence why the countries with high diary consumption have high rate of hormonal cancers like breast and prostrate cancers and conversely the countries with the lowest dairy consumption have the lowest rates.
Not sure why people dis on the best food safety in history. If you don't like pasteurized, don't drink milk. Otherwise, TB will be fun?
Sheep.
Thanks for letting us know you work for big grocery stooge.
What an obedient employee 😊
The man the entire process was named after was a conman, fraud, and plagiarist. The only risk comes from if the cow is neglected, abused, and overmilked to the point the teats become infected and pus leaks into the milk.
Zero risk if the cow is treated well.
Of course the BBC do not want Brits drinking Raw Milk - very misleading and not giving the whole truth about the real state of milk when county folk had to start moving to the city in the 19th century - lots of people living in squalor, lack of sanitation etc so you can imagine how the cows suffered and as a result their milk was crap! Hence pastuerisation was very important in such conditions. Now it's the opposite!
Look for vids by real farmers (not many UK ones yet?!)
The pharma industry is dependent upon the food industry supplying artificial food which wrecks our bodies and generates £££€€€$$$ I'm 32 and it's took this long to clock this - scary!
After hearing the content was not surprised that it was a BBC channel.
Just do the exact opposite to this video and you will be fine
