Pasteurized vs Raw, Grassfed vs Conventional

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

I'm new to the list, and reasonably new to NT, etc. I'm still trying

to hash all this stuff out in my own head, so to speak.

I'm wondering about the implications of eating Pasteurized Dairy vs

Raw Dairy, for one thing- I know that it's not AS good for you (and

Sally would probably say that it's poison) but should you avoid dairy

if you cannot obtain raw dairy? I realize that it varies based on

one's constitution, perhaps.

Same with meat. Would it behoove me to avoid all conventionally

raised meats, or are they appropriate substitutes some of the time?

My mother in law cooks for us once a week and inevitably uses meat

bought at a grocery store.

I do have a wonderfully reliable source for grassfed/free range meats

of all kinds and eggs, but the dairy in particular is what is

throwing me. Currently, I'm making Synergy Smoothies (thanks to

Jordan Rubin) out of Whole Milk, biodynamic, organic yogurt from

Jersey cows, but it is pasteurized.

Any thoughts on this topic?
