Here are 10 things you should know about raw milk that the government won\u2019t tell you:<\/p>\n
1.\u00a0Raw milk is healthier:\u00a0<\/strong>Pasteurized milk is accused of causing everything from allergies to heart disease to cancer, but back in the day, these diseases were rare. In fact, clean raw milk from\u00a0grass-fed cows\u00a0<\/strong>is chock full of healthy amino acids and beneficial enzymes, and was used as a cure.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0Raw milk does not make you sick:<\/strong>\u00a0That is, if it is properly collected from cows fed good, clean grass. Grass-fed milk has natural antibiotic properties that help protect it from pathogenic bacteria. But it\u2019s worth noting, if you\u2019ve been using pasteurized dairy products, you might want to\u00a0eat small amounts of yogurt<\/strong>\u00a0or kefir for a week or so, for a dose of probiotics, just to be safe. I did, and it helped.<\/p>\n 3. Not all raw milk is the same: The cow\u2019s diet, how and where it\u2019s raised, and how the milk is collected are all factors in the safety and quality of raw milk.\u00a0Cows pastured on organic green grass produce milk\u00a0<\/strong>with good health benefits. It\u2019s good to know where your milk is coming from.<\/p>\n
