Is Pasteurization of Raw Milk Really Better for You?

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008

As I sit and eat my morning breakfast I come across a great article that reminds me of how much better whole milk can be than the heat pasteurized stuff that I have in my refrigerator. Raw, untreated milk is a great natural food cure. The process of heating milk to kill bacteria has been common for nearly a century, and selling unpasteurized milk for human consumption is currently illegal in Canada and in half the U.S. states. Yet thousands of people in North America still seek raw milk.

Over the past fifty years, people in developed countries began showing up in doctors’ offices with autoimmune disorders in far greater numbers. In many places, the rates of such conditions as multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes, and Crohn’s disease have doubled and even tripled. Is it because that we aren’t being exposed to the bacteria we need to prime our immune systems? Makes you wonder.

However, I have good news to report. In the very near future, It’s Entirely Natural will have a product available that you can supplement into your daily lives that will replace all that is lost from pasteurization. Join up for our newsletter and you will be the first to know when it is available.
