Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 , a short note about handling (safety) procedures, because I would hate to see raw milk get a bad rap, considering that pasteurized milk is just as susceptible. Bacteria love milk. Always purchase Grade A raw milk. Wash the outside container and cap area well with harm water and antibacterial soap. Of the studies that I have read 99% of the food-borne infections from milk was contamination after the milk had been opened. Transfer your milk from a plastic container to a glass container, just like it was first delivered in our grandmother's time. There is a reason for this, many harmful bacteria can colonize on plastic, whereas glass is safer.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Dear , The raw milk I purchased today did come in a glass bottle like I remember getting when I was a little girl. It's from Birtchwood Farms in New Jersey. I guess from your suggestions that it is something to drink up right away? How long will it keep in the refridgerator once opened. As hasn't had milk in a long time, I didn't want to give her too much the first time.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 , the longer milk is stored there is depletion of the vitamins, but it last longer than pasteurized milk, in my opinion, we make sour cream with the milk after it has set too long. It doesn't clump up like pasteurized milk does, it doesn't putrefy, it just sours.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 (the milk expert), I can get pasteurized but not homogenized milk at Whole Foods. It definitely tastes better, do you know what the benefits might be, or is pasteurization the big one? Nell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2004 Report Share Posted January 29, 2004 Nell, (, who has intensively studied pasteurization for little over a year) says, ultra pasteurized milk is not the way to go. If I had to go back to pasteurized milk again, if there was no way to get clean raw milk, I would drink the kefir product found at the health food store, or ferment the milk with grains. I don't think with us adults homogenized makes a whole lot of difference, but I think it does for children. Clearly there is no better food on this planet for humans other than human milk, but drinking raw milk tells a story. It is one of those things that separates us from other animals. The discovery channel had some wonderful programs on ancient man, one complex problem was that man had little imagination, they didn't come out and say it, but they implicated that man later began drinking the milk of other animals, it doesn't give our body everything it needs, but there is a lot there that helps. I use to think basically it was a food just for children's health, and it certainly is, until I started reading about societies where those people lived far beyond the century. Each time, raw milk came up as a staple food in their diet. Now no one suggested that was the sole reason, but you have to wonder. I think the key to living long is having a strong defense, it is partly the bacteria found in milk that protects the host from infections.
