Raw milk is delicious. It tastes just heavenly. I did a two week placement at a dairy during Veterinary School and drank that every day.

When I got home I spent 5 days crapping my brains out from Campylobacter. Luckily I was on a break from school b.c I could t leave the house. So yeah no raw milk for me again. Maybe risk it if you need to drop weight quickly for your 25th High School reunion or something IDK.

Lots of other bacteria are killed by Pasteurization too like the one that causes TB and Brucellosis although those are very rare now. But for sure worry about Salmonella and E. coli!! You know some E coli can cause kidney failure and death right?

Cows lay in shit. Even at really nice, free range farms…they lay down in mud, they splash mud around…they clean udders, but bacteria are so tiny and a little mistake can make you very sick. Trust the science, drink pasteurized milk.

That's absurd.

It isn’t absurd. It’s fact.

Hysterical: Whole milk can be an excellent source of nutrition for calves if managed correctly.

It isn’t hysterical. You just know nothing about dairy farms. Animal husbandry is very scientific and needs to be to keep our food supply safe and plentiful.

I'm sorry, let me clarify -- the cow produces milk for the calf. So of course milk is an excellent source of nutrition and it doesn't even have to be "managed correctly." It just is. That's what the milk is for.

No it isn’t, if there is a risk of contamination (which there is.). If you pumped breast milk that got left out for a day, or was exposed to possible contaminants, would you feed it to your child?

You sound less and less thoughtful the more you post. I would also say human breast milk isn’t an excellent source of nutrition unless managed correctly. Idiots who get breastmilk from Facebook Groups are taking unnecessary risks for their babies.

Delish. Highly recommend.

That is not true. The milk can become contaminated many ways beyond the cow that produced it being sick. Pasteurization is a great invention and people who do not think so are whacksdoodles. Bad judgment.

Well I speak from actual experience. I drank it for years and was never sick.

Well I speak from actual experience. I’ve driven for years and never gotten in a serious accident.

Well I speak from actual experience. I’ve eaten at hundreds of restaurants and never gotten food poisoning.

Well I speak from actual experience. I’ve hiked in the woods and never been mauled by a bear.


Do you see how silly you sound????

No. I drive without fear of an accident.

I eat in restaurants without fear of food poisoning.

Seems perfectly reasonable.

Poster of the article. Calves of dairy cattle are taken and raised separately. You can’t milk a nursing cow for production. Here is an actual excerpt:

“Whole milk ≠ Milk replacer: First of all, it is important to remember that whole milk and milk replacers are ­different, both in their nutrient composition and expected performance. Whole milk typically runs higher in both protein (≈ 25.4%) and fat (≈ 30.8%) and can vary load-to-load, whereas milk replacer is usually purchased with lower protein and fat percentages and with its components staying consistent across bags and pallets. Performance and growth differences between whole milk and milk replacers are expected due to these differing protein-fat ratios. Early structural growth is typically seen when feeding a milk replacer, whereas early body mass growth — in the form of extra body fat deposition — is usually seen when feeding whole milk.

Milk quality: Pasteurize if you can! When fed unpasteurized, whole milk can transfer disease and inoculate calves with high levels of pathogenic bacteria, Mycoplasma, Johne’s disease and/or bovine leukosis, among others. Pasteurizing whole milk minimizes bacterial count, making it much a safer and effective liquid feed source for calves when managed correctly.”

The idea that it’s absurd to either pasteurize or use whole milk for raising calves is just uninformed.

My grandma and her family got tuberculosis from drinking raw milk as a child (they lived on a farm). She almost died. Definitely not a good life choice.
