Oh, I know.. lol Being a producer I certainly haven't drank pasteurized

milk for the last five years because of all the scare stories about it.

It's a shame that most of these popular journalism articles about raw

milk make major conceptual or factual errors despite their good

intentions and generally accurate perspective.

" Homogenization, the process by which the fat globules in milk are

forced through a straining system that breaks them down into smaller

particles so they do not float to the top of the milk, is another

process by which store-bought milk product is rendered toxic and

harmful to human health. By altering the fat globules, milk fat is

essentially turned into a trans-isomer fatty acid, or " trans fat " . "

The bit about trans fat is totally false.

The hypothesis that homogenization is toxic and harmful is a totally

unproven hypothesis. Although I personally believe it's probably true,

I would never state it as a fact like that.
