It appears that raw milk is a new craze among a lot of natural foodies. Has anyone in here tried it? I myself am not sure, my people insist on boiling raw milk, and a lot of people say it should at least be pasteurized to kill off pathogens and harmful bacteria to avoid getting sick. Also, many people use raw milk to make yogurt, but there the same debate persists, some people refuse to heat past 110 to keep the good (and bad) bacteria while others insist on boiling and/or pasteurizing. Old people shake their head and tell stories about people dying before pasteurization existed en masse. Thoughts?
Well any raw milker worth his salt will admit that you don't want just any random raw milk. But there is in fact science behind the idea that raw milk is much healthier for your body than pasteurslimed. That said, I won't risk it lol. I skip milk all together. Doesn't have good nutritional value that can't be replaced elsewhere without the nastiness.
My wife really got into raw milk for a while a couple of years ago. We still do it occasionally. I'll say this: I don't like milk. I never have. I put milk in cereal (which I rarely eat) and like to drink it with a donut or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. That's about it. I drink water with most meals. Having said that, I think raw milk is delicious. There are probably health benefits mixed in there, but for me it was worth it cause the taste was so much better. The tricky part is finding a good consistent place to get it. If you don't know where to get it, I would suggest hitting up your local farmers market and asking around and/or getting on the internet.
Yup I drink almond and soy, almond is awesome as a stand alone drink and I add soy to things like cereal coffee etc. After switching, regular milk tastes so bad now
Well you can always go back to just eating plants and have your brain shrink so your stomach can expand and possibly multiply to handle the digestion and processing of plant material.
Cow milk is designed by mother nature to turn a small calf into a large cow in a short matter of time. It's not designed for human consumption.
why don't you start a thread on that, and the zillions of other products that fall into that category. my guess is you pass away before you finish typing.
Personally I think homogenization is worse than pasteurization. What's the point of taking out fat and reinjecting it? Anyone who took a chemistry class would know that messes up the makeup and foundation of the milk.

It doesn't, it is just mixing and pressurizing various milks to homogenize the taste and texture of the milk. I'm guessing he's thinking of pasteurization which does change the chemical compound of milk.
