The following news releases are a transparent attempt by the vested

interests to discredit the small gains that are underway regarding

unadulterated

milk.

Can it just be a coincident that in less than 2 weeks after a strong

presentation made to Health Canada (April 4, 2005 - see meeting summary below)

that

thoroughly debunked their stance and at the same time, provided strong

evidence on health advantages of raw milk that these unsubstantiated and

biassed

news releases suddenly should appear?

It is enlightening to see some data on raw vs pasteurized incidences of

illness:

RAW MILK: Incidence of food-borne illness from raw milk – 1.9 cases per

100,000 people, 1973-1992. (American Journal Public Health Aug 1998, Vol 88.,

No

8)

PASTEURIZED MILK: Based on CDC website, incidence of food-borne illness from

all foods including pasteurized milk – 4.7 cases per 100,000 people,

1993-1997. (US Census Bureau 1997 population estimate 267,783,607)

OTHER FOODS: Based on CDC website of reported food-borne illness from other

foods – 6.4 cases per 100,000 people, per year from 1993-1997.

THEREFORE, the incidence of food-borne illness from consuming raw milk is

2.5 times lower than the incidence of food-borne illness from consuming

pasteurized milk; and 3.5 times lower than the incidence of food-borne illness

from

consuming other foods.

 

On a case-by-case basis, persons consuming milk from ANY source (raw or

pasteurized) are:

30 times more likely to become ill from fruits and vegetables

13 times more likely to become ill from beef

11 times more likely to become ill from chicken

10 times more likely to become ill from potato salad

2.7 times more likely to become ill from non-dairy beverages

_Source: MMWR Vol 45, No SS-5_

(http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasites/foodborne/default.htm)

Given, from the above, that " Of All Foods, Milk has the Lowest Incidence of

Reported Food-Borne Illnesses (0.2%) " ; and that the actual milk in question

was never tested for bacteria as the source still was only alleged - the jump

to the conclusion that the milk was the source for these illnesses by the so

called experts is nothing short of hearsay masquerading as " expert science " .

Instead of doing some research on the issue Dr. Sarah Wilson, of University

of Guelph, has the audacity to parrot the party line and then added insult to

injury by stating, on April 15, 2005, _CBC Ontario Today radio interview _

(http://www.cbc.ca/ottawa/media/audio/ontariotoday/15a.ram) that except for

Vitamin C pasteurizing essentially does not damage milk...

 

 

From the above, pasteurization not only destroys _vitamin C_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2004/03/05/health_and_nutrition.htm) but

also the _B

complex_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2004/11/02/vitamins_prevent_heart_disease\

..htm) , D (a questionable version of synthetic D is often added),

the minerals _Zinc_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/11/02/zinc_childhood_infections.htm)

, Iron, Copper, enzymes and whey proteins.

With this kind of processing of food, along with our _highly depleted soils_

(http://www.communicationagents.com/emma_holister/2004/12/12/the_disappearing_n

utrients_in_americas.htm) , the quack _medical Mafia _

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2004/03/15/the_medical_mafia_rules.htm)

and there supporters

tell us that we get all our nutrients from food!

This struggle is about our health and not pseudo science to protect the

status quo. It should be imperative to for all to study and follow up on the

excellent presentation:

_Raw Milk and Raw Milk Products

Health, Safety, Economic and Legal Issues_

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/RawMilkCanada1.pdf)

Prepared by:

Lee Dexter, President, _White Egret Farms _ (http://www.whiteegretfarm.com/)

Sally Fallon, President, _The Weston A. Price Foundation _

(http://www.westonaprice.org/)

We continually hear from the _so called experts _

(http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/2003/06/12/debunking_the_so_called_fluori\

de_experts.htm)

particularly HC that their decisions are based on science and risk reward

ratios. This

example demonstrates it is anything but science and risk is higher than

reward - clearly what they aspire and what they do is totally opposite!

Typically

these publicly paid experts behave as though they are representing the

industry instead of the their constituents. A clear demonstration how vested

interests and status quo is maintained though self serving regulatory bloat and

inbred lack of accountabilities. The only recourse left it seems is via the

courts unless they too are bought!

It is truly a disgrace that, lay unpaid health conscious, citizens can

research and find information central to their health while the so called

experts

who we pay handsomely to protect our health (Health Canada, Ontario's chief

medical officer of health and a Food Safety Network) seem to be so inept in

looking after their constituents with the very services they where hired to

provide...

Actually,

I think homogenization is the greater " evil " of milk than

pasteurization. Homogenization makes the fat globules so small that

they do not digest properly and get into the blood stream

undigested. I am not a big fan of pasteurizaton either though.
