Raw milk vs. Pasteurized milk
Most of us who are health conscious have had enough of additives being put
into our food. If you have read any labels in the grocery store lately, it
seems impossible to find foods that don't have any additives. So unless
you go to a health food store or a co-op, it is hard to find good wholesome
food.
Raw milk is a natural product with no additives. The benefits of raw
milk include Vitamins A, B-complex, C and iodine that naturally occur in goat
milk. Beneficial enzymes, amino acids and minerals are also found in raw milk.
This valuable content is destroyed when the milk is pasteurized, along with
beneficial bacteria.
Pasteurization is associated with allergies, ear infections in children,
osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, increased tooth decay and
colic in infants. Before pasteurization, these diseases were rare.
Pasteurized milk will turn putrid. Raw milk will sour naturally and
safely.
Most people who can't drink pasteurized milk, can drink raw milk without any
problems because it contains the necessary enzymes that help you assimilate and
digest the
nutrients in milk.
Goat milk is also naturally homogenized so it is easier to digest.
Pasteurizing was started not because milk contained harmful bacteria or was
dangerous to drink raw, it was started because farmers found that by
pasteurizing the milk it lasted longer for sale. They were able to sell
milk that they would have had to throw away otherwise.
We test for TB and Brucellosis to ensure our milk supply is free from these
worries. Our animal health is very important to us. Healthy animals
will produce quality milk.
That leaves a good wholesome product with many benefits for your health.
