When produced from a grass fed, healthy, clean animal, unpasteurized milk is a completely safe alternative to pasteurized milk. Raw milk has not been pasteurized or homogenized, it has more nutritional value considering it has not been heated to kill of pathogens (Imus). Raw milk is only unsafe when it comes from overproduced factory cattle. These cattle are in the wrong conditions for healthy milk production (“The Industrial Milk Factory”). It should be legal to sell unpasteurized milk in the local community. The buying, selling, and distribution of pasteurized milk would help boost the local economy and it would also help the local citizens make ends meet. It is much healthier and safer to know where your milk is coming from, rather than to buy it from a larger chain store. Raw milk has been proven to be more nutritious than pasteurized milk. When milk is pasteurized, it is heated to kill off pathogens. It also takes away some of the vitamins and minerals. Raw milk from cattle has eight essential amino acids. About 80% of those are easy for our digestive systems to break down (“Health Benefits of Raw Milk). When milk is pasteurized, it is heated to 161 degrees Fahrenheit for about fifteen seconds. Isabel Maples states that some people believe raw milk is an antibacterial. It contains lactoferrin which contains iron. Raw milk contains Vitamin A, which is fat soluble. It is removed when fat content is lowered during pasteurization. All milk is fortified with Vitamin D. She also states that pasteurization causes a loss of Vitamin K. It is necessary for blood clotting and also helps with bone strength. “Pasteurization means a loss of half the Vitamin C in milk and 38-60% of other water soluble vitamins (Maples).” Milk p... ... middle of paper ... ...tion of Milk: Raw and Pasteurized." www.foodprotection.org.

Commodity Chain of Milk Milk: Does the body good? That?s about as much as I knew. As a somewhat, well, I?ll admit it- ignorant consumer- I simply thought that milk in the supermarket came from, well? a big, long row of cows somewhere.
The essay establishes the existing United States regulations, which is a huge result of many medical incidents which the federal and state government analyzes for the safety of the people, whom have many concerns that are placed upon raw milk cheese. Bilger also reflects upon the growing market of raw milk products, as well as the potential re-appearance for upcoming dairy farms and artisanal cheese manufacturers, which will at least justify the government cost-charge and cost-benefit analysis examining the safety of all the raw milk
“Commercially prepared infant formulas are a nourishing alternative to breast milk, and even contains vitamins and nutrients that breastfed infants need to get from supplements (Pearl, E., 2015). Breastfeeding is proven to strengthen the immune system for children of all ages. While a mother nurses the infant, the mother passes down nutrients and antibodies from the milk the babies drink while nursing. Like immunizations building invulnerabilities for people destructive illnesses, breast milk gives additional antibodies to infants to help them. Nursing sessions are less demanding to retain and process the formula since it contains living development elements, hormones, and chemicals which help an infant to effectively process all healthy intake from each feeding (The Office on Women’s Health, 2012). Further, in creating nations, scientists found that for newborn children who were not breastfed have danger of dying from irresistible infections, in the primary month is six times more prominent than babies who were breastfed (Chen and Rogan, 2004). Children that are breastfed have less problems with digestive systems due to the breast milk, a standout amongst the most essential advantages of breast milk is the containing living parts, for example, contamination battling antibodies, white platelets, red platelets, and hostile to viral components (Taylor, 2013). All which are essential to the growth of a newborn's digestive system that formula does not
This contrasts from the claims that come from Diana, as she uses personal experiences to emphasize the safety of her unpasteurized milk. Although neither my statement nor hers can be entirely considered truthful, I
Since the beginning of time, people have been drinking milk. Even today you will find a gallon of milk in almost every refrigerator in America. Milk is, and has always been, a staple of our diet. Because it contains essential proteins, carbohydrates, fats, minerals and vitamins, milk is considered one of nature's perfect foods. Unfortunately, throughout the last century milk has been subjected to many forms of modern processing practices, which deprive milk from many of its natural qualities and benefits. Therefore many essential vitamins and enzymes are lost. Processing milk has altered one of nature’s perfect foods and changed it into something nature did not intend. Because of the abundant health benefits in raw milk, this report will explain why it should be made legal for consumers to buy throughout the United States.
Breastfeeding is the most protective, nutritional, and natural way to provide nourishment to infants. Human milk contains several nutrients including: vitamins, proteins, lipids, carbohydrates and minerals. These nutrients are imperative for an infant’s developmental growth. Human milk also reduces the risk of developing morbidities, especially within premature infants. Premature infants, who are more prone to infection due their immune systems, benefit from human milk. Compared to artificial formulas, human milk provides antibodies and other beneficial nutrients to help with the development of the infant.
The idea of pasteurizing milk bagan in the 1920s, and later became an aspect of everyday life in the 1950s. Milk that has undergone this process is normally prefered since it is sterilized, therefore lowering the chance of human illness. However, it’s not the 1950s anymore, and the idea of pasteurizing milk has lost its luster for the people that now prefer raw milk. Unlike the milk that most Americans consume, raw milk has not been pasteurized, or quickly heated to a high temperature to kill harmful bacteria. In raw milk, these bacterias haven’t been removed, leaving people at risk. E. Coli, salmonella, and listeria are only some of the bacteria that raw milk carries, all of which can cause sickness, or even death. Common affects of consuming raw milk are diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting, but it's the rare ones: kidney failure,paralysis, and death that causes raw milk to be illegal in half of the states and illegal to carry over state lines in its final form. Nevertheless, people still actively seek out and consume raw milk because they believe its nutritional values to be greater. Controversies surround this topic on whether organic food
Holsteins are the most common dairy breed throughout the world. They have been genetically improved to produce a higher yield to become more profitable for the dairy industry. The first Holstein originated in Europe approximately 2000 years ago (1). They emerged from the Netherlands in the provinces of Northern Holland and Friesland. Interbreeding of the black Batavian cattle and the white Friesian cattle created a black and white cow that could make use of the rich pasture lands of the Rhine region. Such interbreeding allowed the ability of the Batavian cattle’s digestive system and the Friesian cattle’s body and udder size to produce an efficient and high producing dairy cow (1).
Milk is a very nutrient rich beverage made up of protein, fat and water. However, there are many different types of milk and all of them have different fat percentages. In one cup of whole milk there are about 8 grams of protein. While in one cup of skim milk there are about 8.3 grams of protein. (SFGATE)

Joseph Keon the author of Whitewash: The disturbing Truth About Cow’s Milk and Your Health includes "[a] Harvard University study of seventy-eight thousand women revealed that those who drink the most milk were actually at greater risk of bone fracture than those who drank little or no milk"(18). The author does this to expose the readers of the truth about what the dairy industry is trying to accomplish. The dairy industry is purely a business that uses similar business marketing skills to generate more income to the industry regardless of whether the it causes harm to consumers or not. Some of the marketing skills used to
Got milk? If you do, you are at risk of cancer, osteoporosis, calcium deficiency, diabetes, heart disease, and atherosclerosis (PCRM). You might be thinking that I have gone completely mad. Of course milk is good for health; we all grew up drinking milk. We are told by the ads, the campaigns, and the culture that milk is good for us. We learnt about the importance of drinking milk and consuming dairy products in our health education class. In fact, they are in the food pyramid! The truth is milk does harm to you body, the word “milk” isn’t as comforting as it sounds.
The packaged milk category was originated in 1981 by (quaintly named) Milk Pak, which pioneered tetra pack milk in Pakistan. The supply chain involved collecting milk from rural areas across Punjab, processing the milk through UHT (Ultra-High Temperature Processing) treatment, and selling it to consumers in uniquely colored triangular and rectangular packs designed to prolong the milk’s quality. Milk Pak’s “Milk Packs” were very well-received and the brand soon became synonymous with quality milk. Its first real competition came in the form of Haleeb, which introduced distinctively blue tetra packs to the market in 1986.
