Re: Milk and Dairy Products

[Guest guest]

If milk is so muccus causing why do many traditional cultures herd

their own cattle etc and drink raw milk and make cheeses etc.

This is an interesting topic, and yes...there are many cultures that eat natural dairy products all of their lives and are known for their excellent health and longevity. I never drank milk as a kid. I mean never! I refused it. Then as I got into health food diet principles as an adult I learned that milk and dairy are no-no's and that was fine with me (except for a little cheese once in awhile). However I recently started eating more dairy in my fifties when I found a local raw dairy farm. I drink raw milk (yep...raw, pretty much right from the cow), and raw plain yogurt and, so far, I honestly feel healthier. The yogurt has helped tremendously with my Candida and I love to eat it with foods like curry. BUT, if I eat dairy with sugar in it (ice cream etc), I feel sluggish, get mucousy and just never very good in general. I never get mucous with the raw dairy. I also think it's wise to drink lots of water everyday so maybe that helps. Dairy is a controversial subject.

Well, for one thing milk is designed to feed a calf that is trying to gain as much weight as fast as they can to become a one ton cow.

The other reason I don't drink milk, is all the extra crap they put in it. Sometimes it's just that too, crap. And antibiotics and hormones and the chemicals sprayed on the feed and the ground up dead cows (died of what causes? hmmmmmmm) that they feed the dairy cows, the BGH they feed cows, need I go on????

We are the only animals that drink another animal's milk. T'aint normal.

As was mentioned, traditionally the milk was consumed raw

<http://wellbeingjournal.com/homogenized.htm>

<http://wellbeingjournal.com/commercial-milk.htm>

<http://wellbeingjournal.com/raw-milk.htm>

if it was consumed at all.

Many peoples can't digest milk raw or not past the age of 3 or so.

btw,

The higher fat percentage in goat's milk comes closer to the fat

content of human milk than cows milk.

Suzi, I think you're right. This raw milk and yogurt is unlike anything I ever ever had from a store. When I drink a glass of the milk before bed (with a little powdered acidophilus mixed in), I sleep like a baby and wake up feeling great. And the yogurt is to die for. Never any mucus problems, just good results. From what I understand, pasteurized milk has all the enzymes killed so that people often can't digest it properly, but the raw milk has everything left in it. So far I've had no problems.

=========================================

I thought goat's milk had a lower fat percentage. Guess I am

misunderstanding something here. LOL
