Did you know that clean raw milk from grass fed cows actually was used as a medicine? Clean raw milk is a completely safe and balanced food. It has been used for centuries--from Hippocrates until World War II.
If you are a cow's milk drinker, you are consuming quite a bit of sugar- lactose. There are better proteins in raw milk, not found in pasteurized or homogenized milk. One is lactoferrin, an iron binding protein (which improves absorption and assimilation of iron, in addition to having anticancer and antimicrobial action) Do I need to say more? Then there is raw milk's antibiotic protein/enzymes. These are lysozyme and lactoperioxidase. These are NOT in your regular pasteurized cow's milk
People are afraid of raw milk due to fat content. Fat is a bad word in America. The healthy animal fats were always used until 1911. This country was forced away from animal fats, like raw milk (read about Abrahan Strauss in the Untold Story of Milk) towards trans fat laden Crisco and Wonder Bread. What happened then? We had no heart disease before 1911, but with these changes in diet came an abundance of disease.
CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is in raw milk. This is a polyunsaturated Omega 6 with great health benefits ranging from increased metabolic rate, to strengthening the immune system to reducing resistance to insulin (that would mean less diabetics in this country). Then there is the vitamins and minerals content of raw milk. Raw milk contains every known fat and water soluble vitamin. All the trace minerals, vitamins and enzymes are in raw milk. The enzyme variety (amylase, catalase, lactase, lipase, phosphatase and lactoperoxidase) found in raw milk surpasses most all other foods.
Yes this is a very hot and controversial topic. My aim is to learn and share as much as I can in my time on Mother Earth. I know what you are thinking? Do I only use raw milk? The answer is no but I am sure I use more than the average person. I am one of those thoughtful committed citizens.
So now it is your turn to TAKE ACTION
So I bet you want to obtain some raw milk and just taste it! Have you ever tasted raw milk? You must first go and obtain more information on obtaining raw milk near where you live. I would make sure it is a site run by the Weston a Price Foundation. www.westonaprice.org
