tuberculosis and other diseases in
the 1920s. The act of
pasteurization is considered one of
the largest breakthroughs in public
health. In 1987, the transport of
raw milk was permitted, with
warnings and other restrictions.
Currently, twenty-nine U.S.
states allow sales of raw milk, and
three were originally available
commercially in Arizona,
California and Washington. In
May 2010, Massachusetts allowed
for direct sale from a farmer to
" buying clubs. "
Many people ask if the threat
is real and if pasteurization is
helpful or does it result in " dead "
milk.
According to the Centers for
Disease Control which tracked
outbreaks from 1998-2009, over
one thousand, eight hundred and
thirty-seven illnesses were related
to raw dairy milk. Children are
specifically susceptible to any of
the foodborne pathogens
commonly associated with raw
milk.
Another common concern is
related to some reported illnesses
associated with pasteurized milk.
Investigation of these illnesses
often is linked to improper milk
and other food storage and
handling, resulting in secondary
contamination after pasteurization.
Commonly, people use the
restroom and then visit the
refrigerator and touch the milk
carton or something else that is
being cooled, without washing

their hands. Most often the illness
from pasteurized milk occurs in
restaurants, and even a few cases
resulted from intentional
contamination findings.
The side effects of pasteurizing
milk are related to the destruction
of enzymes and the denaturing of
the proteins. This may result in
some individuals having problems
with the digestion of the milk.
Over sixty percent of the world's
adults can't digest milk and most
of them are of African origin.
A group of pro-raw-milk
advocates has pointed out the
benefits relating to curing asthma
in children, yet this claim hasn't
been successfully defended in
court or in literature. The effects
of illnesses from raw milk are still
evident in the news today.
When we speak about
processing milk we have to talk
about homogenization. The
process of removing milk fat is
often done with high pressure and
this forces fat globules through
very small holes. Since the
processed fat is much smaller, the
tiny globules stay saturated in the
milk and provide consistency.
Dairy from cows typically has
large chunks of milk fat floating in
it. This was commonly seen by
many families in the early 1940s
and 50s. Goat milk was less
popular since that fat was smaller;
hence, cow dairy is the primary
source of milk.
Opposition to homogenization
is related to the possibility of

allowing cow steroids and other
protein hormones to bypass
normal human digestion and
become absorbed by us.
This theoretically could result
in hardening of the arteries. These
claims are not supported by
scientific literature. According to
many, it has to do with the " high
fat farm diet " and the sudden
retirement of daily " hard labor
work. " Of course, that is an
unscientific opinion based on
logic.
There is no question that
pasteurization denatures vitamins,
enzymes, and trace elements. It is
possible to add vitamins following
the processing of milk, and that is
the current standard.
Every major scientific
association agrees that
unpasteurized milk is full of
harmful bacteria, and consuming
that beverage dramatically
increases your chances of
becoming infected.
The real truth is that raw milk
has billions of pathogenic bacteria
swimming around in it. If you
don't remove or reduce naturally
occurring bacteria, it will get into
you if you drink that milk, and
depending on your immune
system, you will become infected.
If you are going to consume
raw milk, it is recommended that
you consider the facts and the
risk, which can outweigh the
benefits. Those who don't study
history, specifically health history,
are doomed to repeat it. Z

If you're experiencing
achy joints you'll
want to eat and drink
anti-inflammatory
foods. First, you'll
want to stay
hydrated. Clean water
keeps joints
lubricated. Be sure

Eat to
prevent
arthritis

Cook with turmeric,
drink turmeric tea or
take turmeric
capsules. The Indian
herb also fights
cancer.
Star anti-inflammatory
foods include
sardines and
coldwater fish. If
you're opposed to
fish, take flax oil or
incorporate flaxseeds
into soups,
smoothies, and
salads.
Eat lots of fruits and
vegetables which also
have strong antiinflammatory
properties. Avoid
trans fats. These are
used to extend the
life of processed
foods and promote
inflammation in the
body.
