[QUOTE="Nite Hawk, post: 1453427, member: 18682"] I just paid $6.90 for an imperial gallon of milk, which is larger than a USA gallon. Still pricey.. I prefer to have my own cow milking, that way I know what the health status is of the milk I am drinking. there is definitely a difference between good clean healthy cows- raw milk and pasteurized milk. Years ago we had our milk cow die from bloat, we figured from hardware disease. Before I acquired a new cow, one of the kids teeth began to turn an opaque color. Calcium supplements and pasteurized milk never helped either. Two weeks after acquiring a new milk cow, the whole family noticed the effected child's teeth had began to return to a healthy white color. When the milk is pasteurized all the good enzymes that help you digest the milk are killed off, and as calcium also tends to be attracted to the fat molecule, skimming the cream reduces the calcium values. I do understand why the milk is pasteurized, as I have worked on some dairy farms that are totally filthy and they had a bad mastitis issue. I personally would not have fed the milk on those farms to my dog, let alone my family. Other farms were so clean and they were diligent about health of their animals, most of the time there would have been little problem drinking the milk raw. The main thing is have healthy animals and cleanliness when using unpasteurized milk, and keeping a closed herd helps too, but sometimes that isn't workable, so one had to be careful. also, not everything is killed by pasteurizing it, there are stories that Crohns disease may come from cattle that are affected by Johnes disease, and that pasteurizing wont kill it...
