Re: pasturized cream and butter, any good ?

[Guest guest]

Hi Behn,

It's so hard to believe that in the ancestral home of dairy, raw is

illegal! Ridiculous.

Are you certain you cannot find any under the table raw milk? Where

there is raw milk, there is usually raw cream. If you could at least

call around, visit farmers markets, visit farms or ask at health food

stores - usually the smaller milk producers produce their milk and

then send them off to be mixed with lots of other milk and then

pasturized. If you could get ahold of some before it is sent off,

from the smallers farmers. If you can just get the milk and cream,

you could make the butter. I was amazed at how easy it is to make

butter (with a food processor, I admit, but still). Are you sure you

can't find any?

I can attest as someone who did not drink or eat any dairy for 20

years cause it caused terrible mucus symptoms, as soon as I tried

raw, I spent about 2 weeks working up to it and now I can drink a

lot. It has become the single most important food in my diet, I love

it. I feel stronger and fuller, but did not gain weight, just a layer

of fat that is fine.

But yes, raw eggs are great too - try and get fertile, organic. Let

us know if you can find any. Sometimes a single minded pursuit with

many calls and creative thinking will produce results. Lynne

> I live in Sweden. Because of that I do not have access to raw dairy

products. It is illegal to sell them in stores in sweden. Even if I

would be able to get hold of raw milk from farmers, they dont have

raw cream or raw butter and I wouldnt be able to carry so much milk

home (I dont have a car). So I shop dairy in stores, which means its

all pasturized.

source if one cannot get hold of raw dairy. Or is there substantial

evidence that pasturized cream and pasturized cultured butter does

not lead to coronary heart desease or other deseases?

Dear Behn,

In 1999 the Lancet reported a study on children in the Waldorf school in

Sweden (I am not sure in which city) (This study is described in an artilce

at realmilk.com) These children were consuming raw milk, so they must have

gotten it from somewhere. Perhaps you should contact a Waldorf School to

find a source of raw milk and butter in Sweden. Sally Fallon
