Is this really true? (Raw Milk)
    #18764665 - 08/27/13 04:03 PM (10 years, 5 months ago)

Well, they claim raw milk is simply too dangerous to consume and by restricting its sale they are serving the public health and reducing the risk of illness....

Yet shockingly there's no evidence backing up this claim.

According to CDC data, from 1993 to 2006, only about 116 illnesses a year were linked to raw milk. That amounts to less than .000002 percent of the 76 million people who contract a food-borne illness in the United States each year!

Looking at the evidence, or rather lack thereof, it is quite clear that raw milk has been unfairly singled out and targeted by the FDA, the USDA, and even the FBI, despite the fact that it's so low on the food-borne illness risk scale it's hardly measurable.

The recent enforcement  efforts against raw milk sales is so disproportionate to the risk it poses to consumers that it defies all logic.

You know about that statistic...raw milk is on the very fringe, isn't it?...

Interesting.  When my grandma was a kid she lived near a woman who had dairy cows and would give her family milk.  I guess the woman would get really offended if you pasteurized the milk she gave you, claimed that it ruined the taste.

I was always told as a kid not to eat raw cookie dough because you could get salmonella from the eggs.  That never stopped me from eating tons of it, never got sick from it either :smirk:  Raw cookie dough is so good I'd be tempted to eat it even if there was a 25% risk of instant death from doing so.

This statistic is useless.  What we need to know is the percentage of people who contract a food-borne illness after drinking raw milk, or at least the ratio of raw milk illnesses to other food-related illness among those who consume raw milk.

In the U.S. we are overly sensitive to our food sanitation though.

this is hella fucked up. Makes me want to get a cow.

They're totally trying to make everyone consume the weird hormones or whatever gets in there from the cows with all the weird shots.

I believe it is true. Despite the unhygienic state of milk sheds I've drunk milk from the vat without pasteurizing it for months with no problems. The farmer kept insisting that I must pasteurize, never told him I drank it raw. As soon as I can afford to I'll be buying non pasteurized organic milk.

This.  116 illnesses per year out of how many people?  and more importantly, how does this compare to non-raw milk?  If you look up the pasteurization wiki, the CDC cites data that raw milk  is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other foodborne disease outbreak.

This is because cow milk has things for baby cows to become healthy which could include hormones, bacteria, and other shit. Pasteurizing it reduces risks of getting sick and it works so its mandated. If you were born used to it, it'd be fine but the normal person drinking raw milk could probably get sick.

If the cows are healthy and fed what nature intends there SHOULD be no risk.
If chickens are healthy and fed what nature intends there SHOULD be no risk.

not saying there isn't but there shouldn't. You should be able to eat raw eggs, milk and meat if it is disease free properly cared for and properly fed. Not saying you should go eat these things raw but you should be able to with no medical side effects. Our bodies are built for it but we've started to condition them against it the past couple hundred years.

fun fact: salmonella from eggs is not in the egg itself but coated along the shell.

Bullshit. Pasteurizing milk kills the nutrition and makes it unhealthy. Fresh raw milk from grass fed cows simply does not make any healthy person sick.

Grass fed cows. Farm pretty run down and there was a big problem with mastitis.

Funnily enough, they started to pasteurize almonds. Google it. Almonds are one of few plant products that are pasteurized. Also, good quality dairy has nutrients that almonds will never have and tastes a lot better.

Indians (from India) Recommend boiling raw milk first before consuming it in the ancient healing systems. Claimed it was better for digestion. :shrug:

I would drink raw milk from grass fed cows, given the chance.

That store brand milk is just bad, its not natural anymore.  Those poor cows are absolutely pumped with hormones and anti-biotics.


Only thing is, I can't drink milk :bigblunt:

This. I am more fearful of the hormones and antibiotics these animals are fed with. But, to eat organic you either have to be:
1) A farmer
2) Rich

On topic: I would drink raw milk. It has its risks and benefits.
