Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Good morning.!..A while back , we got to talking about drinking milk on here , again !. I volunteered to contact Organic Dairy Farms to obtain each farms pus count ( somatic cell count ). Some of us figured that the Organic Milk was bound to be different .Horizon's WAS low , if the lady I spoke to read her numbers right ! I do remember that she hesitated and had to read the number over to herself . Weird !Here is some data which explains a bit about it.I warn ya , it is gross ..Mary O Have some . pus with your cookies? If you down a glass of cow's milk, you will. It may be white, but researchers say that every cupful contains somatic cells, i.e., pus. The dairy industry knows that there is a problem with pus in milk. Accordingly, it has developed a system known as the " somatic cell count " to measure the amount of pus in milk. The somatic cell count is the standard used to gauge milk quality. The higher the somatic cell count, the more pus in the milk. Any milk with a somatic cell count of higher than 200 million per liter should not enter the human food supply, according to the dairy industry. Therefore, anyone living in a state where the somatic cell count is higher than 200 million shouldn't be drinking milk. There's only one problem-every state but Hawaii is producing milk with pus levels so high that it shouldn't enter the human food supply! At the bottom of this page, you can see how high the pus levels in your state's milk are. Even the national average, at 322 million, is well above the industry's limit. One culprit causing the hundreds of millions of pus cells in every liter of milk may be " bovine growth hormone, " the Monsanto chemical company' s growth hormone marketed as Posilac. Posilac is now widely used by dairy farmers to increase the amount of milk that their already overburdened cows produce. Because cows are not built to produce this much milk, they are prone to a painful udder infection called mastitis. When they are milked, pus and bacteria from the infection flow right along with the milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2004 Report Share Posted July 2, 2004 Blaugh! Since I read there's pus in milk I've only attempted to have it in cereal and it tasted gross. Either it's all in my head or that just happened to be a bad batch. No more milk drinking for this gal.
