  Dig in a little more

  This seems like it does not fully address the complex issue of raw milk- kl5 and kimsikes both point to intriguing sources, and while it is true there are many zealots, there seems to be potential evidence pointing towards raw milk as superior nutritionally, and not necessarily more (and possibly less) dangerous than pasteurized milk, assuming it is obtained from a clean, pasture-based dairy. As stated before, it is difficult to verify this, as there aren't many corporations that are funding research to support raw milk claims, and many small farmers that have the money to fund that sort of venture.

  In addition, it is important to consider that our understanding of nutrition is by no means complete, and that pasteurization may kill things that prove to be beneficial. An interesting source- Real Food by Nina Planck. She cites some interesting studies that relate to raw milk and allergies, and raw milk and breast cancer.

  Overall though, this is an important issue that could use a little more discussion than a mild warning. On Umbra on raw milk posted 10 months ago 20 Responses
