Organic Raw Milk - Gives You More Nutrition

By Kathryn Barry

You keep hearing the mantra "Raw Milk is Dangerous because of Bacteria". The one and only time I remember becoming deathly ill from drinking milk was when I drank some low fat pasteurized milk. I thought I was going to die! So much for pasteurized milk being a safe alternative and organic raw milk being dangerous.

What's left in low fat processed milk anyway?

This is How to Ruin Your Health and Milk

Pasteurization or 145 degrees for 30 minutes neutralizes the digestive enzymes that help you digest a food. Thus the pancreas has to do all the work getting the remaining nutrients digested.

Homogenization of milk fats will create scarring of the blood vessels followed by increased cholesterol patches, followed by clogged arteries.

An even bigger offender is Ultra-pasteurization which heats milk up to 280 degrees F. Not only is the milk made totally indigestible, but MSG is created from this process.

On the Other Hand Organic Raw Milk is:

Great source of important minerals such as calcium, vitamin B12, essential fatty acids, and good bacteria. The nutrients are much more easily absorbed because of the enzymes still present in this milk. Enzymes such as lactoferrin are responsible for protecting you and milk from pathogens.

Raw Goat Milk is Good and Nutritious

Raw goat milk is a great substitute for cow's milk for those people who cannot deal with lactose. Goat's milk is less allergenic and it does not contain the complex protein that stimulates allergic reactions found in cow's milk.

Unlike cow's milk, goat's milk does not contain agglutinin and therefore, the fat globules in goat's milk do not cluster together - making them easier to digest. The fat molecules are smaller than cow's milk and doesn't separate - it's naturally homogenized.

Goat's milk has a higher proportion of short-chained and medium-chained fatty acids and therefore makes it easier for the intestinal enzymes to digest.

The important vitamins, enzymes, minerals, fatty acids, protein, and trace elements found in raw goat's milk is easily absorbed by your body.

This milk is considered an alkaline food since it contains an alkaline ash which does not produce an acid condition in your body.

I still prefer cow's milk over any other type of milk, but would love to have any kind of quality raw milk available for a reasonable price and to be able to buy it at a convenient location.

If you are lucky enough to live in a state that provides Organic Raw Milk, you are lucky. This is one of the hardest health foods to find in most states.

I often wonder why securing a supply of nutritious raw milk has been made so hard. Some raw dairies are subjected to such harassment and unfair treatment. It's time to stop treating these dairies like they were drug dealers.

Maybe one day my dream will come true and I'll be able to go to any quality food store and purchase life giving raw milk! - 17274
