Guest Post by Open Sesame – Health Food Partners to Ozone
Organic, Raw, Unpasteurized….call it what you like, it’s milk straight from the cow like many of you were brought up on.
In this post we just wanted to show you why Raw Milk is actually better for you than the normal milk you buy in the supermarkets and why it is making a come back in a huge way.
See, some people think that Raw Milk is dangerous but in fact it’s the industrial farming methods that cause disease in the animals and may lead to contaminated milk from that. Pasteurization destroys almost all of the nutritive value of cow’s milk. The milk everybody drinks today is far from a whole food.
It kills the natural enzymes and destroys the chemical make-up of calcium in raw milk. Calcium is vital to the growth and health of children. Pasteurization has been implicated in everything from allergies to heart disease to cancer. Truly, the resulting product after pasteurization is not raw and living, but rather “killed and dead.”
The fuss about raw milk has to do with pathogens – organisms that can cause diseases such as Salmonella. But whether or not raw milk carries pathogens depends totally on the way the milk is produced, how the animals are fed, and the care that’s taken to keep the milk clean during production and often Raw Milk producers abide by much stricter controls than the industrial factory farming methods.
Below is a comparison on the Nutritional Differences between the milk most likely in your fridge and raw milk.
