lots and lots of questions

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am new to the list so forgive me if these questions have been answered many

times before. I have not been able to find raw milk around here (Indianapolis

area if anyone knows of any here or in the Dayton, Ohio area, my mom lives

there). In the meantime, is it OK to use organic, whole milk for making yogurt

and kefir? What about products like cream cheese and sour cream and cream from

the grocery or health food store, if the milk used is pasturized and homoginized

is there any benefit to eating it or should you just avoid it? I have always

used real butter (I don't understand how anyone could stand the taste of

margerine or think it could be healthy) but I have been using more cream in my

cooking. I have also been buying full fat sour cream and cream cheese instead

of low fat but I don't eat a lot of these products. If I am eating these full

fat products but they are not raw or even organic in some cases, am I going to

gain weight from them? I have also ordered VCO and can't wait to try it.

Another question, I have been using Rice Milk instead of cows milk for a long

time. Can someone tell me why this is unhealthy? Is it simply the processing?

Yet another question, I have been looking at Azomite powder on the internet. It

appears to be used in gardening and for animals but is never advertised for

human consumption. Does anyone use Azomite and what results have you seen? Is

it safe and beneficial in this form for humans?

OK that is enough questions for now. I appreciate anyone taking the time to

answer any of them!
