Raw Milk vs. No Milk, WAS Health Questions

[Guest guest]

Carla,

no milk. Would you

by, but I know that I can

If you can find it locally, I would give raw milk a try. Despite its

benefits, even raw milk can give problems to people who are sensitive.

If you can find pure Jersey, Guernsey, Brown Swiss or other

non-Holstein milk that would be best, but Holsteins (the iconic black

and white cows) are far and away the major dairy cows in America

because they've been breed to produce more and more.

Raw milk is an excellent source of raw animal protein and other

nutrients, but it's not essential to an optimal diet. Price found many

traditional peoples around the world who didn't drink milk and were

very healthy. WAPF puts a little more emphasis on raw milk than is

perhaps deserved in my opinion. If you don't drink milk I would make

sure you're getting lots of high-quality animal products, including

eggs from a local farmer who lets their chickens spend most of their

time outdoors. Egg yolks are amazingly nutritious, as is liver from

pastured animals. Both can be eaten raw as well.

Maybe some others can chime in here with other info or opinions on the

importance of raw milk.
