Raw milk.

[Mr Happy]

I was on a dairy farm today and I decided to buy some raw milk. Took it home and let my two daughters try it and to my surprise they liked it. Any body else drink raw milk and what are the benifts.

Its all I have ever drunk, far better taste than bottled stuff.

There are no benefits, people argue it tastes better, that's about it.
There are some health risks with drinking unpasteurised milk though.

 

[Cows 'n grass]

It tastes best when it's only been out of the cow an hour or two. I don't think it tastes as good when I have four milkings in the tank as it does immediately after first milking.

I love milk, it's so delicious i can't believe so many people drink so little of it.

How do you know there are no benefits?

 

[puppet]

I have written before that there is a good reason why the sale of unpasteurised milk has been banned in Scotland for years.

It was killing people.

rubbish,everybody that has drunk shop brought then gone on to ours all have said the first thing they noticed was there nails grew faster and harder,kids go mad for it as it’s more tasty/creamy

As in another thread, danger of selling raw milk if a consumer gets a bug. Already been a couple of cases where the farm has been blamed for food poisoning outbreak - with major effects on their business
Our pasteurised milk tastes exactly as it does straight from the cows.

Drink nothing else.

People will argue there are a lot of benefits beside it tasting better.

There are claims for all kinds of natural products with not a shred of evidence. If they like the taste then fine but don't link it to random events. I never realised that faster nail growth was a selling point. What is the difference in calcium content between yours and shop?

if you ever washed out a milk separator aftre use, you would never consider drinking raw milk.

Can the marketeers not come up with a better term than 'raw milk' as it maybe doesn't conjure up a great image in the mind of consumers. When you hear 'raw meat' being talked about, it is usually in the context of having to be careful with its storage and cooking, so I'd imagine that 'raw milk' would be considered by the public in the same way.

I wash our separator after every use, can't say I've ever found anything that would put me off drinking raw milk, what did you find?

First of all,I never said it was a selling point!its what every single person has come back and said,it’s a visible thing that’s noticeable,not a random event.for what it does inside ur body?your guess is as good as mine! But if nails are harder and grow faster surely it must be a good thing?

Re health benefits.......I’ve been on raw milk all my life, apart from 6 months after foot and mouth, when we had no option but buy bottled milk. At my next dental check up after having our cows taken out with F&m the dentist asked if my diet had changed because my teeth had a loads of tiny cavities appearing in them. He was convinced it was because of the milk swap.

We drink all of ours raw, from our own animals ofc. With raw milk you get all the benefits of vitamins, minerals, omegas and good bacteria, which pasturisation can kill out. As long as the milk is tested every week with good results and the suppliers are trustworthy, then raw milk is more beneficial to the body than the stuff you will buy say from the supermarket

There are plenty of benefits. With pasturisation it gives everyone a safety net, they feel safe as if nothing can touch them, in actual fact pasturisation not only changes structure of the milk and kills a lot of essential nutrients from it, but it also does not get rid of some harmful bacteria's. If you want to drink raw milk buy it from a trusted supplier who tests their milk reguarly and has good rep. I don't see why you should not drink it or buy it from Farmers who are good, just because of a few rogue ones

We drink raw milk, i'm unsure of the advantages. Actually the only benefit I'm qualified to shout about, is the fact we never run out.

No benefits and the taste is subjective.

There should be some scientific proof of this then since it would be easy to prove but there isn’t.
