Milk to pasteurise or not?

[Guest guest]

Dear Chotawa

 

In recent years, there has been some consumer interest in raw milk

products, due to perceived health benefits. Advocates of raw milk

maintain, correctly, that vitamins and nutrients survive in milk that

has not been pasteurized. Specifically, raw milk contains the enzymes

lipase (to digest fats), lactase (to digest milk sugar, lactose), and

phosphatase (to absorb calcium), all of which are damaged by heat.

Raw milk also contains vitamin C and B6 which are heat-sensitive, and

many beneficial bacteria which aid digestion and boost immunity.

Grass fed raw milk also contains more omega-3 fats than grain-fed,

pasteurized milk.

 

Perhaps now it may be clear that we destroy important nutrients from

natural milk and then go hunting for them in oils and suppliments!

Ayurveda treats milk as a complete food, containing all vitamins,

minerals etc.

 

Most certified raw milk is also grass-fed or organic and contains no

milk production hormones. Such organic raw milk from well maintained

herds in clean dairies is less likely to contain harmful pathogens

due to better husbandry. For more information, see www.realmilk.com

On above site you will read Pasteurization myth.

 

This author does not give any credence to what internet contains or

what journals publish. Mothers milk for two and half years and cow

milk up to 11 years gave him adequate intelligence and this

experience was adequate to know the truth. Thus cow milk he always

used to drink raw, with froth. His mother started heating the milk as

doctor suggested once. Author found that milk as "tasteless" and

mother reverted to offer raw milk.

 

Even today, a glass of milk at bedtime reminds him daily the missing

taste!
