Hi Tonio,

I eat raw meats as well! Welcome.

Greetings

everyone,

My name is Tonio. I live in the central Vermont area. I've been

consuming raw dairy on a daily basis for about 7-8 years, as well as

raw meats (gasp!) and eggs, as well as more normal non-processed

foods. Before that I ate lots of raw butter when I lived in southern

California since the mid 70's just because it tasted so good. In my

ongoing life learning process I eventually learned about the value of

pasture raised meat and dairy.

I am also very interested to know if there are any adverse effects of

freezing on the many beneficial constituents in raw butter including the

enzymes. I do not eat frozen meats because of the lack of enzymes. I

understand that freezing does not harm the enzymes in unheated honey (I

could be wrong about that) so I'm wondering if a similar thing occurs with

butter due to the low moisture content.

Does freezing really harm the enzymes in meat? Does it also hurt the enzymes in milk...I have never heard this before. I guess I just assumed (maybe naively) that since the Inuit consume and store their meat frozen, that freezing didnt hurt meat in any way. Are there any sources on-line I could look at that supports this?

Greg,

I can say definitively that freezing does not harm the nutrition, or

the good bacterial levels in milk, butter, and meat. As far as the

enzymes, I am not sure. I am open to any research though. I am

skeptical as you are, that it harms the meat as the eskimos lived for

millennia on frozen meats and were among the healthiest people in the

world, until a western diet invaded their culture.

and Greg,

I'm not aware of any info on the web. My info is based on things I've read and heard around and also from the book, WE WANT TO LIVE by Aajonus Vonderplanitz. Gotta run for now.
