Weird because mommy cow surely will make the calcium as available as needed to the calf, maybe we simple are not that good digesting the cow milk as a calf is, what makes sense... But then surely there are some anti nutrients in leafy greens who could compromised calcium absorption or not?
@@enriquemartinez4790 Depends on where you live. Here in Pennsylvania raw milk can even be found in some super markets. When we buy it we usually have to drive 45 minutes to buy it from the farm.
Yea I have grass fed goats milk. My family and I love it. It’s legal for us to drink. However it illegal for me to sell it to others. The fda says my grass fed milk, meat, and eggs are unsafe. But all them rows of sugar foods in the store are perfectly fine.
Also, eating seafood is one of the most common way to get food poisoning. Yet no-one has banned it and it's never reported as a serious health threat. The truth is, I've been consuming raw milk for over 10 years.I've never even had an upset stomach. You must get it from a reputable source and there'll be no issues. It's as simple as that.
If you know someone who owns cows, ask them for some fresh milk, non pasturized, it's so much better! Unfortunately, most stores are not allowed to sell raw milk, but if you know people who own cows or goats, ask them for some.
@@drekberg You're welcome, I worked in a grocery store for many years, and even the manager couldn't tell me why they weren't allowed to sell raw milk. It's ok to sell raw honey, but not milk.
You can't find raw milk anywhere, and, it's often not safe to drink, that why it is pasteurized!!! I believe organic whole milk is much healthier than sodas, so I drink it instead!! I grew up with it in Germany and have no issues with it!!
My cousin, who passed away a week ago at 92, was a life long dairy farmer. Real butter, whole unpasteurized milk straight from cow, farm raised grass fed beef and pork, fresh eggs. Never sick, had the energy of 2 men, worked every single day, day light to dark (except on Sunday, just did the milking) loved God, loved his life, loved being a farmer. Ate and consumed everything MD medicine said not to, only consumed beer and wine in very small amounts and very infrequently, didn't use tobacco. He was lean, slender and strong his entire life. He was a textbook example of what living a lifestyle based on these very principles will produce. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for yet another in a long list of confirmations as to what this type of lifestyle can produce.
My great-grandparents owned a commercial dairy farm, and they had the same kind of food every day. My great-grandfather died very young of a rare blood disorder that was genetic, but my great-grandmother lived to *101.*
I used to be a very sick kid with a completely destroyed immune system. Then my parents send me to our relatives in a countryside over summer where I drank raw milk every day, still warm from straight under the cow. Came back as healthy as it gets, never had health problems ever since, for 35+ years.
Or maybe you just had a terrible sickness when you were a kid and then it went away, like it usually does, and you linked it too your raw milk diet when it actually had nothing to do with it.
@@kooroshrostami27 "like it usually does", what? Personally most of the kids I've known including myself have not had terrible sicknesses that just goes away with age lol.
I have seen the difference between raw milk and pasturized milk. Some years ago I bought raw milk from a farmer. Over the years I drank hundreds of litres, never any issue. I'm Scandinavian. Two women from the Philippines in the family couldn't drink milk because they couldn't digest it, but they could perfectly well handle raw milk. Seing is believing.
Tell me something. Does domesticated cows that "produces raw milk" take the same vaccines, the same hormones, the same medications of the cows that produces the "regular" (homogenized, etc.) milk that we buy in the market? Just curious.
@@jmvneto51 i would assume most definitely but it would depend on what farmer or rancher you are buying it from. I don't know where small farms get their cattle from or how they vaccinate their livestock or if the live stock was vaccinated before purchasing. But I would assume some raise the cows from birth and I do not know when or if those cows are vaccinated. As far as I know all the milk in stores is all from cows that have been vaccinated with god knows what straight into their mammory glands
I was born in Armenia and I never drunk milk growing up and none of my neighbors kids either and we rarely had bone related weaknesses as it has been brainwashed upon people.What we consumed a lot were natural cheeses from unpasteurized natural milk.Agree with Dr.Ekberg 100%
I love milk and I will never stop drinking it. No matter what you say. I grew up in Michigan. I have never had any problems digesting milk I especially love cottage cheese.
@@SachelleCambriabecause vegans don't believe there are harmless milk, they think all harm animals. I respect for them, but saying 100% is harmful is wrong!
Adressing the argument that "the majority of people do good with raw milk products". You should also mention how many humans in history died from consuming raw milk products before pasteurization was invented due to infections by e.g. Salmonella and other pathogens. With that in mind, the benefits of pasteurization definitely outweigh the downsides. This reporting is really one sided and results in false conclusions. Can you give any scientific references like research papers that verify your conclusions? I don't see any in the video or in the video description. The argument that raw food = always good and processed food = always bad is wrong in most cases and the increase in global life expectancy over the last decades is a good counter argument (of course also due to new medical achievements).
Here in eastern Europe until 10 years ago, every home had 1-2 cows. Everybody ate raw milk and milk products. They even sell them in markets and it's fine, no infections.
I do share your concerns about raw milk, and I've never tried it, but I certainly believe that processed 'foods' account for a great many illnesses in our modern time eg: arthritis, Coeliac Disease, Type 2 diabetes, obesity all of which are at epedemic levels in the western world. I do agree we should be cautious, but on balance I believe more natural foods are biologically appropriate. 🙂
@@V.D.22 My grandparents on both sides raised cows their whole life and NEVER drank raw milk, nor did they made any cheeses before boiling the milk. This was just common sense and practiced by 99% of the people in my Eastern European country, Bulgaria, home of the yogurt. So many people died from consuming raw milk that no-one questioned that milk should be boiled first. Brie, Parmigiano, Roquefort, etc. are all made from raw milk, but in Eastern Europe, the traditional cheeses (white "feta"-like and yellow "kashkaval") are made after boiling the milk first. The same is true for home-made yogurt.

Thank you MohOEM and welcome to the channel. Keep watching my videos, so you get a clear understanding about what health really takes. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
@@kareemahmed7028 He recommends to completely avoid pasteurized dairy, which is mostly all the dairy you can buy in a store, and recommends moderate quantities of raw or fermented dairy. Long story short: find a farm nearby, drink some milk from there, let it ferment and eat a great yogurt or learn to make kefir from it. That's it, nothing more. If you want calcium eat leafy greens like salat or spinat.
All drinks that are supposed to be good for you has to be pasteurized which means these mfgrs hope and pray you don’t read and just buy based on the cover.... cuz it contains nothing left! All the boiling has reduced the drink to crap.
Milk is designed for baby animals not for great big fat adult humans. I have not had any dairy products in 30 years. My osteoporosis has reversed, my IBS issues have gone and I no longer have mucus issues. In all, I am an extremely healthy 67 year old.
You can assimilate calcium easily from milk and other animal origins. From plants.... like most of the nutrients from plants they aren't easy bio available, in order to get significant values you need big quantities, so that's not a very good advice
Plants contain high amount of oxalates and Salycilates. Milk is much better and absorbable, animal mammals need an absorbable source of calcium to grow. If milk is not desirable, then chewing chicken bones will provide all the calcium you need
@@MJ_Coaching_Online but I really don’t think companies waste any energy on disliking this video. I think it’s frustrated vegans because the dr. Didn’t feed the „milk causes cancer“ narrative.
Pasteurized is not sterile. Yes, a lot of the bacteria is killed, not all of it. The concepts you are teaching are valuable, don't spoil your credibility with false statements, unless that's the plan to get people like me to comment down here.
I love Sten’s videos - always very insightful, thorough and educational - but I often feel that he commits naturalistic fallacies. I understand how evolution has shaped us according to our natural surroundings, but still it’s not sufficient to just point out that something is or isn’t “natural” as an argument for or against it.
I’m pretty sure when you change the nature of things problems occur. Most food distributors change foods obviously to cut prices, so is this bad to say he is wrong? But if your saying he is bias against anything un natural, you may have an argument.
Applying the naturalistic fallacy to foods that come from nature is inherently fallacious. Humans don't do better with animal fats over PUFAs just because. It's because one is something we evolved to metabolize and the other is industrial sludge. The null hypothesis or "assumption" therefore is that natural food is always better until proven otherwise. Applies to real meat over beyond meat, water over sodas/juices, whole foods over processed, organic produce over GMO, herbicide/pesticide covered produce.

@@dannychurch7223 Berg advocates way too much about eating veggies. And it's not right. Recently it's been proven that our soil is depleted and therefore nutritional value of those veggies goes down.

I can only speak from experience, I suffered from Seborrhea dermatitis for the most part of my life and I had tried everything under the sun to control it, someone suggested to give up milk and eat fermented foods and when I did I was very surprised by the dramatic improvement in my skin, just to confirm that milk was the culprit I began to drink milk again and sure enough my seborrhea dermatitis returned
Sten, because New Zealanders pay more for our own fresh milk than Australians do, I boycott fresh milk and mix it from NZ milk powder - which is raw milk, not homogenised. But I have A sneaking suspicion the evaporative process is the equivalent of homogenization - is that correct? Also, the powdered stuff seems to have some soy added, and there is some trans fat in there now. :( Which is going to be less bad for me? Because there is no way on Earth I am giving up milk. I can stop sugar, I can stop soda, I can stop french-fries and chips, and I can even stop toast and potatoes - but milk? No way. No how, and at no time will I ever stop drinking it. I have reduced my intake, and I have just received my glucose meter, and have tested at 7.3 and then 7.2 today. Thanks for your assistance, I have learned a lot from you!
Thank you for all the work you do. I read Nathan Pritikin’s Live Longer Now in ‘71 and bought into the low fat/no fat cholesterol is bad farce. Worked out always, active in many sports, but as years past developed love handles. No amount of working out or dieting erased them. I could lose weight but handles remained. I found your channel and instantly admired not only your content but your delivery style. Thank you. I have trimmed to my gymnastic weight of my youth and I am close to eliminating those handles. I save just about all your videos and pass them on to friends and family. You have helped me in a short period of time shed 22 pounds but more importantly I recognize what put it there initially.
Hi Dr. Sten, I have my PhD in food science and one of your followers just sent me your video. From a food science aspect there are a couple of inaccuracies in your video. First, pasteurised milk is not sterile. The aim of pasteurisation is simply to destroy any harmful bacteria in milk. There are plenty of other bacteria, yeasts, and molds that survive this process. Similarly, it's inaccurate to say pasteurised milk has no enzymes. Sure, some enzymes may be heat labile but definitely not all. Thirdly, when a protein denatures it doesn't become solid. It simply unfolds and loses it's original tertiary and possibly secondary structure. In general, I think we would disagree on the harmfulness of pasteurisation but I wish you the best of luck!
I wonder where you live. IN the UK the pasturization is quite gentle, and the stuff that is delivered to the door in glass bottles has cream on the top and will go off . I think perhaps that supermarket milk might be more severely pasturized and that Sten is referring to a more severe regime in the USA.
No human is born lactose intolerant. In fact no mammal on earth is born with lactose intolerance. So at some point you acquire lactose intolerance. It may be no coincidence that lactose intolerance is more common in countries who do not have the custom of eating cheese and drinking milk. But is the cause backwards. in other words do they avoid cheese because they are intolerant or do they loose their tolerance because the do not eat the cheese???Most Europeans eat cereals every day with milk and have milk in tea and coffee. Does this constant input keep our tolerance up, simply for the fact that we consume it on a daily basis?
It's simply not true that Asians across the board have lost lactase and become intolerant to milk. I am a 100% Asian and have absolutely no problem with lactose, my son has no problem with lactose (although he was allergic to milk in the early days of his infancy, which is a totally different problem), and as far as I know, most Asians are not intolerant to lactose, although it has been said that lactose intolerant is higher in Asians than in Europeans.
2 Chinese and me Swedish in this family drink a lot of milk fine. My son had milk protein allergy as young but grew out of it at about 5yr old. But he can't handle the taste so he doesn't drink it pure. A few weeks back we got a bad bath or milk, 6 boxes very watery without taste, we mistrusted that 1,5 fat milk we usually bought and tried non homogenized low pasteurised milk and now my Chinese bonus daughter won't have any other. Lumps of butter floating around. I like it also so i think we just stick with it. I have drunken pure cow milk and it was really good but don't know if i can get it safely near by. It would be great to have a cow in the yard.😂
I stopped drinking/using milk about a year ago, (I use coconut milk) I will share this with my family, my 3 grandchildren during a gallon of milk every 1-2 days
No plant can produce milk , try A2 milk ? Its very digestible and is becoming popular ! I grew up dairy farming and have literally hundreds of cousins and friends that ALL drink gallons every week ,ZERO that I know had any health problems associated with milk ! Let your grand kids enjoy milk !
You are the best teacher ever!!!!!!! Where were you when I was studying science medicine? I had a sore throat for years and kept having to take antibiotics. Turned out I was having a reaction to milk. Haven't touched it in years and no sore throat. Its so sad that the public have no idea what is good or bad since the media and manufacturers tell lies
Dr. Ekberg, you're the best! Not only your perfect health knowledge, but also your precise way of communicating all that information so effectively! I've been cleaning up my diet for about 7-8 years now; but ditching dairy has been the best decision I ever made. For 50+ years I suffered (snoring, blocked nose, sinus headaches, sleep apnea, runny nose etc etc) and got rid of all of these conditions by quitting dairy. It was magical! Quitting all other processed factory-made foods wasn't enough to fix my breath-related issues. Thank you so much for your great work!
Since we are discussing personal experiences with Dairy: When I am leaner, and exercising often I find it very nice and often crave it. Over the past year when I could not exercise as much, dairy would give me digestive issues. I noticed that people are over weight nearly always have problems with dairy, and most people that I lift and exercise with have few issues and often make whey and casein protein part of their diet.
There are days where my body is fiending for a glass of milk. I dont even love milk, but that urge has to be something real and i always feel good after.
I like this story. It sounds to me that when the body is depleted through hard work, such as lifting or otherwise living an active lifestyle, milk is one thing that can replenish and boost the body. Mike Mentzer used to talk about the systemic effects of exercise, and I would say that different types of nutrition fit into the system differently. Thank you for sharing, great information.
This is likely a function of gut bacteria. Overweight people have different gut microbiomes than thin people. So, the thin people's guts can process milk better the same way they process everything else better.
You may be right. I am a thin 86 year old with no health issues and drink lots of 2% milk and always have. I just don't understand why it is not healthy and not recommended. @@allhimwithme5115
Dr. Sten, I just looked up the stats on raw grass fed whole milk - 12 carbs in a glass. From the food combining days I always would consume dairy separate from other foods. Doing IF or OMAD, when and how is the best way to consume my raw milk - slightly ahead of the rest of the meal or treat it as a meal a few hours away from other foods? Thanks! I am "hooked" on your videos! Learning so much from you.
Thank you Betsy Dettloff. Food combining is a good idea, especially if you have some digestive troubles. I would probably do it slightly ahead of the meal.😄
Careful! This guy is an athlete/chiropractic doctor NOT a medical one! His holistic stuff is a hobby……….it’s a bit like following Tiger Woods or Tyson Fury’s dietery advice. If you have dietary issues, then go to your proper doctor.
We had a jersey house cow.. milked it twice a day when I was still at school.. sometimes myself and my sister would spray milk straight in our mouths from the teet when we would go outside with the animals.. good times.. very good milk and a very beautiful tame animal. It was the small type of Jersey cow.. very very tame. I really miss her
Pasteurized milk can't be bad if cooked meat is okay. This makes no sense, you don't advocate eating raw meat. Don't get me wrong, I love raw milk but pasteurized milk is totally fine (without homogenisation).
Much of the the farms in the world do not have clean enough diary, that is why it is illegal in Germany and the U.S. for example. Raw dairy is very Dangerous ! You can buy semi pasteurized milk in the U.S. legally at some rare health food stores , it taste very great.
At the age of 71yrs. I had mostly experience a problem with milk that I loved and had been told that I was lactose intolerant. I decided recently to try verified organic milk from grass fed cows only and I have begin to enjoy milk and not experience bloating or stomach pains of the past. Thanks for the information.
This is fascinating. I had also been told that I was lactose intolerant, but yet I drank milk fresh at a dairy and did not get sick at all. I love milk and dairy products and I do think they are healthy as long as we don't do silly things like drink gallons of heavy cream
Thank you Delores Barrett for sharing. That is great that you are able to drink it again. Not many of my patients can tolerate pasteurized homogenized milk.
The pasturized milk is a problem for me. I remove the hard cream, and leave the amount of the second rising cream to the taste and texture I like. I made yoghurt, custard, quiche. It may be that 'twice-cooked' milk is the problem, said to cause 'ama'. I had no problem with milk, until I had homogenized milk, and the 30-day standard made it much worse. I was told chemicals were added to make milk shelf stable for the 30-day standard. Next, milk was superhomogenized. I have heard that affects leaky gut, or helps cause it.
Heat treated proteins are way more digestible for us. As raw meat, raw eggs. If something is "denaturalized" in your vocabulary it doesnt mean its bad or harmful. It feels like a lof of useless information flying around on this channel. Pasteurized products are completely save and healthy for most people and have pros and cons as raw milk.
This is little bit deceptive! First of all we pastorize milk for a reason because of the bad bacctaria you can get sick off and it's illegal to sell non pastorize milk where i live and thats for a reason and then we talk about campylobacter, ehec och listeria that comes from the cows. Second, when you say, when milk pastorized it loses the enzymes for us to break down 100% but what you left out is that we have already those enzymes in our intestinal tract just like with any other food we eat and break down and you know this too i really hope. When it comes to mimirals and vitamines that gets destroyed. First of all there are different types of pastorization, the most common milk is low pastorized milk and only 1-10% of Vitamin B12 and B2 gets destroyed, when it comes to kalcium and fat nothing happens to that and when it comes to the casein protein almost everything is still there. If you buy high pastorized or even ultra high or UHT that heats up in a much higher temp up to 147c for 1 to 4 seconds, then you lose not everything but most of the vitamins and mimirals and lot of the casein that changes in such heat, compare that to low pastorization that only heats up to +72c för 30 seconds.
At 5:00 you said that proteins denature and are much more difficult to break after cooking them. With that sentence I would strip down your title right away if I could. Go and study some molecular biology first before making these videos. And yes, I have a degree from cell and molecular biology.
Thanks for explaining this in an unbiased way. I always hear vegans talk about milk like it's poison and the other side is just people who hate vegans and don't give any real facts about milk.
I grew up on a dairy farm and we drank milk straight from the cows teat. so to speak. Fresh cow's milk is great. The stuff from the grocery store? I only use cream for my coffee. Farmers got paid by the fat content of the milk, the more fat the more money, now they sell 1%. I agree with the doc, todays' milk leaves to be desired.
I disagree, the argument that " we are mamals too* is just not a argument . Cows milk is ment for calfs not humans, it has very little benefits for humans, a poor source of calcium and also its produced under the most disgusting circumstances..
No wonder our Australian made cheese tastes awful. All the good stuff is taken out. I prefer those European cheeses that have kept the natural stuff (not pasteurized).
I am not native 'ın English, and most of the doctors speak so fast so i can understand very small of their speech, but you are putting everything so smootly and understandable, that you became my favourite one. Thank you.
Im already 41.i used to know your videos for only 7mos now..i hope it is not too late to be healthy. I share the knowledge to my loved ones also so they could gain benefit from it too..thanks God for u doc. Ekberg 🧡🧡🧡
At 41 it is not too late to be healthy. I'm 72 and have had problems for years that are now leaving me as I eat the kinds of food that Dr. Ekberg recommends. Even though it can take years to become unhealthy, the body is amazingly quick to return to health if you just give it a chance.
Great videos! It became a tradition for me to watch one before going to the supermarket 😉 What do you think of other milk-like-looking alternatives on the market these days, like milk from plants? Greetings from Bavaria, cow region.
Milk from plants are not healthy and not actually milk. Only coconut milk is natural. Alternative is to make your own oat/almond milk and stay away from soy or shop made
It's fine. I have been drinking Milk (boiled with tea/coffee) for the last 10 years and am still healthy. I'm lucky my home is 4 km apart from a cow farm.
You’re not healthy. You just assume you are fine! Sorry to say that but in time you’ll definitely face health issues if you don’t stop drinking that milk!!!!
We don't try to use it as food anymore, we use it as a drink, and for my part I would have it first instead of cola-cola, or orange juice. It's certainly better than water, it's tastes better than all three, especially from the fridge as long as it hasn't been doctored with flavours and colours or sweeteners. Give me milk anyday.
My Dad is 103 and still happy healthy and functional. He has always drank milk. Probably 3 quarts per week. And my Mom is 96 and she drinks milk too. They always have milk with cereal. Usually low fat milk.
Well that "food" a literal poison. You can find out in the video why. Also, outside of low fat milk with gmo cereals, they had to have eaten extremely healthy and do sports/exercise to get to their age and be functional
All my life I have been taught that anything with milk is supposed to be the "perfect" & "natural" food. Wether it be Ice cream, cheese yogurt or milk: it was always good for you. But somehow( other than cheese), I have naturally moved away from eating or drinking milk products, and really haven't missed them at all. But now good whole milk cheese is another story altogether. Lol
Pasteurization is just getting the milk heated and cooled to kill bacteria. Homogenization is forcing the milk through a small hole that breaks up the large fat blobs into tiny blobs. This changes the texture and almost all other characteristics of milk. These are two very different things! You can pasteurize but not homogenize milk, that takes care of all the health issues that a government can be worried about. The fact that the US uses so much homogenization is about shelf life it has nothing to do with health. It would be easy for manufacturers to make milk pasteurized and NOT homogenized. This kind of milk is what we usually get in Europe. If you leave pasteurized but not homogenized milk out it separates out, you can boil it up to get the solid white part (Americans don't even have a name for it - it's like cottage cheese but not exactly) and the whey ... both are edible and good. Also you can make home-made yoghurt with it (just needs some previous yoghurt for the bacteria). If you leave homogenized milk out it just goes bad. The sad thing is most Americans don't even know how real milk should behave they think this is normal. My issue with this presentation is that it bundles pasteurization and homogenization together. These are not the only two options! It is possible to get pasteurized and non-homogenized milk and then you still have most of the benefits.
I nursed my four children. I weened them after time. The longest I nursed was 22 months. They got the colostrum at the beginning. I know I've never seen animals drinking milk all their lives like humans do. Thanks for the video. I always learn something here.
A couple more points: If you are on a low-carb diet, anything lighter than whole milk has too much sugar. It's ironic people think skim milk must be more healthy, but it's not. Also grass fed is important, as grain fed introduces contents we don't want.
Wow things have changed. I just Googled raw milk and it is now only 1 hour and 6 minutes away by car used to be 3 or 4 hours. I can't wait to visit this little dairy farm
A grown human doesn't need milk, we don't have a ridiculous calcium requirement past infancy. Commercial cow's milk contains antibiotic residues. One could argue that milk is more toxic than it is beneficial for adults.
I'd like to try Raw Milk, but I'm concerned about its safety. If we're not used to certain bacteria in our gut, I'm afraid it could cause a bad reaction. Wasn't there a reason milk had to be pasteurised? (I'm in the UK) Any comments, anyone? 🤔
Here's Wikipedia's take, from its page on pasteurization: "Milk is an excellent medium for microbial growth,[17] and when it is stored at ambient temperature bacteria and other pathogens soon proliferate.[18] The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease source, making it one of the world's most dangerous food products.[19][20] Diseases prevented by pasteurization can include tuberculosis, brucellosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and Q-fever; it also kills the harmful bacteria Salmonella, Listeria, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli O157:H7,[21][22] among others."
@@rachelm7525 Does sound as if, if you're very careful with raw milk, you'd probably be fine. Whether the benefits are worth it, I'm not sure. Perhaps, as Ekberg sort of suggests, products like yoghurt and kefir give you the best of both worlds - safety, but with helpful enzymes and good bacteria.
Thank you Leticia Cabbigat. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Perhaps the biggest argument in the medical world Is that people with either osteopenia or osteoporosis need milk. What say you? Please do a video on asked you paralysis in calcium
He’s not even an expert in this area,,, what are you talking about? This dude is just like “dr” berg... using titles and certifications to trick low-information-voters into thinking they’re experts,,, Anybody who pushes dairy products is a doofus
Milk is pasteurised because of the organisms which cause disease in humans such as tuberculosis and contageous abortion obtained from the milk of infected cows. Milk is pasteurised at between 68 and 72°C and held in the pasteuriser for 15 seconds. Not all bacteria are killed but those mentioned are. Sterilization takes place at much higher temperatures as well as denaturing which is required for the making of fermented products, and even higher for extended life milk 120 to 140°C under pressure. Anyone drinking raw milk should insist on a veterinary clearance certificate from the farmer which states that the cows are free from tuberculosis and contageous abortion.
@@soner818 I had a dairy farm, milking approximately 100 cows/day! On that farm I had a factory which processed up to 20000lt/day, most of it purchased from other farmers. My own herd was tested annually for TB and CA and me and my family would only drink pasteurized milk on my insistance. And to answer your question yes I have drunk raw milk: there is no difference! but there is an enormous difference between a product made from raw milk and that made from pasteurized milk. The raw milk products such as soured milk, yoghurt, and cheese are inclined to "blow" and have a very short shelf life. My customers had the choice of purchasing raw milk or processed milk. Most chose the latter. A health inspector who used to inspect my herd told me he was advised by his Doctor to drink raw milk because he had cancer. He died a few months after telling me that.
@@kevinkopp6299 I beg to differ about there being no difference between pasteurised and unpasteurised. You only have to compare them under the microscope to see the difference.
There is no difference in the TASTE. I did not mention that my dairy factory had its own laboratory. We tested for total bacterial count, e.coli, and butterfat content. Some people would not drink raw milk ever again if they were to see the results of some of the samples!
@@kevinkopp6299 I drunk raw milk for over three months with no ill effects. In fact I could drink raw milk without having sinous and phlegm problems that are caused by pasteurised milk. If people understood that bacteria are not our enemies but friends and stop all that fear mongering. Our bodies have 10 times more bacteria inside and outside without causing us ill effect than we have cells in our body.

Here in Ireland drinking raw milk can cause brucellosis, a nasty lung condition

Also, eating seafood is one of the most common way to get food poisoning. Yet no-one has banned it and it's never reported as a serious health threat. The truth is, I've been consuming raw milk for over 10 years.I've never even had an upset stomach. You must get it from a reputable source and there'll be no issues. It's as simple as that.
Healthy animals = animals with stronger immune system = milk without pathogens.
If you know someone who owns cows, ask them for some fresh milk, non pasturized, it's so much better! Unfortunately, most stores are not allowed to sell raw milk, but if you know people who own cows or goats, ask them for some.
Exactly! Thank you Rebecca.
@@drekberg You're welcome, I worked in a grocery store for many years, and even the manager couldn't tell me why they weren't allowed to sell raw milk. It's ok to sell raw honey, but not milk.

@@drekberg In india , we get raw milk directly going to the owner of cow and other cattles. Further they are also allowed to sell it.

Great information doc!
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏾
Thank you Avalene Allen.
I hope milk is good for you, I get it straight from the cow.
Its natures perfect food ! Don't stop !
Should we worry about unpasteurised milk taken from a dirty udder or from a sick cow?
You can't find raw milk anywhere, and, it's often not safe to drink, that why it is pasteurized!!! I believe organic whole milk is much healthier than sodas, so I drink it instead!! I grew up with it in Germany and have no issues with it!!
Is a sensitivity different than an allergy? I think I’ve just become super sensitive to a lot of things
My cousin, who passed away a week ago at 92, was a life long dairy farmer. Real butter, whole unpasteurized milk straight from cow, farm raised grass fed beef and pork, fresh eggs. Never sick, had the energy of 2 men, worked every single day, day light to dark (except on Sunday, just did the milking) loved God, loved his life, loved being a farmer. Ate and consumed everything MD medicine said not to, only consumed beer and wine in very small amounts and very infrequently, didn't use tobacco. He was lean, slender and strong his entire life. He was a textbook example of what living a lifestyle based on these very principles will produce. Thank you Dr. Ekberg for yet another in a long list of confirmations as to what this type of lifestyle can produce.
You had a really great cousin, seems like the best dude ever, RIP
@shreddedbagelwabiwabo8342 thank you. He surely was

sorry for your loss brother
My great-grandparents owned a commercial dairy farm, and they had the same kind of food every day. My great-grandfather died very young of a rare blood disorder that was genetic, but my great-grandmother lived to *101.*
I used to be a very sick kid with a completely destroyed immune system. Then my parents send me to our relatives in a countryside over summer where I drank raw milk every day, still warm from straight under the cow. Came back as healthy as it gets, never had health problems ever since, for 35+ years.
Goat milk is good too
Did you drink milk from straight under the cow since 35+ years?
maybe that protein-rich fluid called liquor puris (a.k.a. pus) that is filled with dead, white blood cells supercharged your immune system.
Or maybe you just had a terrible sickness when you were a kid and then it went away, like it usually does, and you linked it too your raw milk diet when it actually had nothing to do with it.
@@kooroshrostami27 "like it usually does", what? Personally most of the kids I've known including myself have not had terrible sicknesses that just goes away with age lol.
I'll still take any form of milk (or water, of course) over poisonous soda or sugary fruit juice.

That’s the whole point
Stick dairy and sodas on the same level.
Milk is full of sugar and saturated fat
Why drink anything but water?

I have seen the difference between raw milk and pasturized milk. Some years ago I bought raw milk from a farmer. Over the years I drank hundreds of litres, never any issue. I'm Scandinavian. Two women from the Philippines in the family couldn't drink milk because they couldn't digest it, but they could perfectly well handle raw milk. Seing is believing.
Tell me something. Does domesticated cows that "produces raw milk" take the same vaccines, the same hormones, the same medications of the cows that produces the "regular" (homogenized, etc.) milk that we buy in the market? Just curious.
@@jmvneto51 i would assume most definitely but it would depend on what farmer or rancher you are buying it from. I don't know where small farms get their cattle from or how they vaccinate their livestock or if the live stock was vaccinated before purchasing. But I would assume some raise the cows from birth and I do not know when or if those cows are vaccinated. As far as I know all the milk in stores is all from cows that have been vaccinated with god knows what straight into their mammory glands

I was born in Armenia and I never drunk milk growing up and none of my neighbors kids either and we rarely had bone related weaknesses as it has been brainwashed upon people.What we consumed a lot were natural cheeses from unpasteurized natural milk.Agree with Dr.Ekberg 100%
Hi Ruben Drink Raw Milk is best
I love milk and I will never stop drinking it. No matter what you say. I grew up in Michigan. I have never had any problems digesting milk
I especially love cottage cheese.
There’s no reason why you should give it up as long as it doesn’t bother you.

Adressing the argument that "the majority of people do good with raw milk products". You should also mention how many humans in history died from consuming raw milk products before pasteurization was invented due to infections by e.g. Salmonella and other pathogens. With that in mind, the benefits of pasteurization definitely outweigh the downsides. This reporting is really one sided and results in false conclusions. Can you give any scientific references like research papers that verify your conclusions? I don't see any in the video or in the video description. The argument that raw food = always good and processed food = always bad is wrong in most cases and the increase in global life expectancy over the last decades is a good counter argument (of course also due to new medical achievements).
Here in eastern Europe until 10 years ago, every home had 1-2 cows. Everybody ate raw milk and milk products. They even sell them in markets and it's fine, no infections.
I do share your concerns about raw milk, and I've never tried it, but I certainly believe that processed 'foods' account for a great many illnesses in our modern time eg: arthritis, Coeliac Disease, Type 2 diabetes, obesity all of which are at epedemic levels in the western world. I do agree we should be cautious, but on balance I believe more natural foods are biologically appropriate. 🙂
You misses the entire point of this video
@@V.D.22 My grandparents on both sides raised cows their whole life and NEVER drank raw milk, nor did they made any cheeses before boiling the milk. This was just common sense and practiced by 99% of the people in my Eastern European country, Bulgaria, home of the yogurt. So many people died from consuming raw milk that no-one questioned that milk should be boiled first. Brie, Parmigiano, Roquefort, etc. are all made from raw milk, but in Eastern Europe, the traditional cheeses (white "feta"-like and yellow "kashkaval") are made after boiling the milk first. The same is true for home-made yogurt.

Hello, does the doctor recommend the use of dairy products or not?
@@kareemahmed7028 is that a real question. Without dairy you would probably be dead by now.
@@kareemahmed7028 He recommends to completely avoid pasteurized dairy, which is mostly all the dairy you can buy in a store, and recommends moderate quantities of raw or fermented dairy.
Long story short: find a farm nearby, drink some milk from there, let it ferment and eat a great yogurt or learn to make kefir from it. That's it, nothing more. If you want calcium eat leafy greens like salat or spinat.
All drinks that are supposed to be good for you has to be pasteurized which means these mfgrs hope and pray you don’t read and just buy based on the cover.... cuz it contains nothing left! All the boiling has reduced the drink to crap.
Milk is designed for baby animals not for great big fat adult humans. I have not had any dairy products in 30 years. My osteoporosis has reversed, my IBS issues have gone and I no longer have mucus issues. In all, I am an extremely healthy 67 year old.
What's sold in supermarkets is more like 'cow juice' rather than real milk.
Yes ! You need whole raw A2 milk
My dad used to say that milk bought in the store is so thin that you feel sorry for it.
My grandma used to call milk “moo juice.” 😬
One girl told me that she buys store milk because she hates that cow taste in raw one 😂
@@glennso47 f’ing facinating………🙄
Calcium from plants,🤔. Nobody ever teaches this.🙂
You can assimilate calcium easily from milk and other animal origins.
From plants.... like most of the nutrients from plants they aren't easy bio available, in order to get significant values you need big quantities, so that's not a very good advice
Plants contain high amount of oxalates and Salycilates. Milk is much better and absorbable, animal mammals need an absorbable source of calcium to grow. If milk is not desirable, then chewing chicken bones will provide all the calcium you need

I love Sten’s videos - always very insightful, thorough and educational - but I often feel that he commits naturalistic fallacies. I understand how evolution has shaped us according to our natural surroundings, but still it’s not sufficient to just point out that something is or isn’t “natural” as an argument for or against it.
I’m pretty sure when you change the nature of things problems occur. Most food distributors change foods obviously to cut prices, so is this bad to say he is wrong? But if your saying he is bias against anything un natural, you may have an argument.
wonder if that stuff you drinking on your photo is natural?
Applying the naturalistic fallacy to foods that come from nature is inherently fallacious. Humans don't do better with animal fats over PUFAs just because. It's because one is something we evolved to metabolize and the other is industrial sludge. The null hypothesis or "assumption" therefore is that natural food is always better until proven otherwise. Applies to real meat over beyond meat, water over sodas/juices, whole foods over processed, organic produce over GMO, herbicide/pesticide covered produce.

I can only speak from experience, I suffered from Seborrhea dermatitis for the most part of my life and I had tried everything under the sun to control it, someone suggested to give up milk and eat fermented foods and when I did I was very surprised by the dramatic improvement in my skin, just to confirm that milk was the culprit I began to drink milk again and sure enough my seborrhea dermatitis returned
Try raw,unpasteurized milk.
I think it is better to try fermented foods like Kefir or yogurt or cheese from raw milk too.
Sten, because New Zealanders pay more for our own fresh milk than Australians do, I boycott fresh milk and mix it from NZ milk powder - which is raw milk, not homogenised. But I have A sneaking suspicion the evaporative process is the equivalent of homogenization - is that correct?
Also, the powdered stuff seems to have some soy added, and there is some trans fat in there now. :(
Which is going to be less bad for me? Because there is no way on Earth I am giving up milk. I can stop sugar, I can stop soda, I can stop french-fries and chips, and I can even stop toast and potatoes - but milk? No way. No how, and at no time will I ever stop drinking it.

If I may ask, what are the top couple tips Dr. E gave you that helped the most? I am pretty much in the same boat you are in now.
Hi Dr. Sten, I have my PhD in food science and one of your followers just sent me your video. From a food science aspect there are a couple of inaccuracies in your video. First, pasteurised milk is not sterile. The aim of pasteurisation is simply to destroy any harmful bacteria in milk. There are plenty of other bacteria, yeasts, and molds that survive this process. Similarly, it's inaccurate to say pasteurised milk has no enzymes. Sure, some enzymes may be heat labile but definitely not all. Thirdly, when a protein denatures it doesn't become solid. It simply unfolds and loses it's original tertiary and possibly secondary structure. In general, I think we would disagree on the harmfulness of pasteurisation but I wish you the best of luck!
Thank you for this valuable information
Why would "the good guys " (bacteria) survive pasteurisation but "the
bad guys " get killed off ?
@@brianterence3211 Heat seems to be conscious and attacks only the bad guys.
@@brianterence3211 Because they are different in heat tolerance. The temperature is controlled in the process..
I wonder where you live. IN the UK the pasturization is quite gentle, and the stuff that is delivered to the door in glass bottles has cream on the top and will go off . I think perhaps that supermarket milk might be more severely pasturized and that Sten is referring to a more severe regime in the USA.
No human is born lactose intolerant. In fact no mammal on earth is born with lactose intolerance. So at some point you acquire lactose intolerance. It may be no coincidence that lactose intolerance is more common in countries who do not have the custom of eating cheese and drinking milk. But is the cause backwards. in other words do they avoid cheese because they are intolerant or do they loose their tolerance because the do not eat the cheese???Most Europeans eat cereals every day with milk and have milk in tea and coffee. Does this constant input keep our tolerance up, simply for the fact that we consume it on a daily basis?
it's because of All the Processing of milk in the US. removes the natural enzymes needed to break it down in the stomach
It's simply not true that Asians across the board have lost lactase and become intolerant to milk. I am a 100% Asian and have absolutely no problem with lactose, my son has no problem with lactose (although he was allergic to milk in the early days of his infancy, which is a totally different problem), and as far as I know, most Asians are not intolerant to lactose, although it has been said that lactose intolerant is higher in Asians than in Europeans.
2 Chinese and me Swedish in this family drink a lot of milk fine. My son had milk protein allergy as young but grew out of it at about 5yr old. But he can't handle the taste so he doesn't drink it pure. A few weeks back we got a bad bath or milk, 6 boxes very watery without taste, we mistrusted that 1,5 fat milk we usually bought and tried non homogenized low pasteurised milk and now my Chinese bonus daughter won't have any other. Lumps of butter floating around. I like it also so i think we just stick with it. I have drunken pure cow milk and it was really good but don't know if i can get it safely near by. It would be great to have a cow in the yard.😂

Dr. Ekberg, you're the best! Not only your perfect health knowledge, but also your precise way of communicating all that information so effectively!

For 50+ years I suffered (snoring, blocked nose, sinus headaches, sleep apnea, runny nose etc etc) and got rid of all of these conditions by quitting dairy. It was magical! Quitting all other processed factory-made foods wasn't enough to fix my breath-related issues.

I also noticed my joint pain reduce dramatically.
Since we are discussing personal experiences with Dairy: When I am leaner, and exercising often I find it very nice and often crave it. Over the past year when I could not exercise as much, dairy would give me digestive issues. I noticed that people are over weight nearly always have problems with dairy, and most people that I lift and exercise with have few issues and often make whey and casein protein part of their diet.
There are days where my body is fiending for a glass of milk. I dont even love milk, but that urge has to be something real and i always feel good after.
Dairy 👍🏾
I like this story. It sounds to me that when the body is depleted through hard work, such as lifting or otherwise living an active lifestyle, milk is one thing that can replenish and boost the body. Mike Mentzer used to talk about the systemic effects of exercise, and I would say that different types of nutrition fit into the system differently. Thank you for sharing, great information.
This is likely a function of gut bacteria. Overweight people have different gut microbiomes than thin people. So, the thin people's guts can process milk better the same way they process everything else better.

Dr. Sten, I just looked up the stats on raw grass fed whole milk - 12 carbs in a glass. From the food combining days I always would consume dairy separate from other foods. Doing IF or OMAD, when and how is the best way to consume my raw milk - slightly ahead of the rest of the meal or treat it as a meal a few hours away from other foods? Thanks! I am "hooked" on your videos! Learning so much from you.
Thank you Betsy Dettloff. Food combining is a good idea, especially if you have some digestive troubles. I would probably do it slightly ahead of the meal.😄

I'm going to drink milk I drink it about 10 or 15 minutes after I finish everything else
If you ferment your milk into kifer it takes away the carbs in the fermenting process

Pasteurized milk can't be bad if cooked meat is okay. This makes no sense, you don't advocate eating raw meat. Don't get me wrong, I love raw milk but pasteurized milk is totally fine (without homogenisation).

What about the sugar content in milk in the form of lactose?
I actually found that by cutting out dairy for the majority of my diet, my acne practically vanished.
Much of the the farms in the world do not have clean enough diary, that is why it is illegal in Germany and the U.S. for example. Raw dairy is very Dangerous ! You can buy semi pasteurized milk in the U.S. legally at some rare health food stores , it taste very great.
At the age of 71yrs. I had mostly experience a problem with milk that I loved and had been told that I was lactose intolerant. I decided recently to try verified organic milk from grass fed cows only and I have begin to enjoy milk and not experience bloating or stomach pains of the past. Thanks for the information.
This is fascinating. I had also been told that I was lactose intolerant, but yet I drank milk fresh at a dairy and did not get sick at all. I love milk and dairy products and I do think they are healthy as long as we don't do silly things like drink gallons of heavy cream
Thank you Delores Barrett for sharing. That is great that you are able to drink it again. Not many of my patients can tolerate pasteurized homogenized milk.
@@scarlet8078 Thank you for sharing too. That is great that you lived on a farm and were able to drink milk that was very fresh.
The pasturized milk is a problem for me.
I remove the hard cream, and leave the amount of the second rising cream to the taste and texture I like.
I made yoghurt, custard, quiche.
It may be that 'twice-cooked' milk is the problem, said to cause 'ama'.
I had no problem with milk, until I had homogenized milk, and the 30-day standard made it much worse.
I was told chemicals were added to make milk shelf stable for the 30-day standard.
Next, milk was superhomogenized. I have heard that affects leaky gut, or helps cause it.
Reminds me of how people are finding out that a lot of "glutten" problems may actually come from rampant glycosophate pesticide usage on wheat
Heat treated proteins are way more digestible for us. As raw meat, raw eggs. If something is "denaturalized" in your vocabulary it doesnt mean its bad or harmful. It feels like a lof of useless information flying around on this channel. Pasteurized products are completely save and healthy for most people and have pros and cons as raw milk.
This is little bit deceptive! First of all we pastorize milk for a reason because of the bad bacctaria you can get sick off and it's illegal to sell non pastorize milk where i live and thats for a reason and then we talk about campylobacter, ehec och listeria that comes from the cows.
Second, when you say, when milk pastorized it loses the enzymes for us to break down 100% but what you left out is that we have already those enzymes in our intestinal tract just like with any other food we eat and break down and you know this too i really hope.
When it comes to mimirals and vitamines that gets destroyed. First of all there are different types of pastorization, the most common milk is low pastorized milk and only 1-10% of Vitamin B12 and B2 gets destroyed, when it comes to kalcium and fat nothing happens to that and when it comes to the casein protein almost everything is still there.
If you buy high pastorized or even ultra high or UHT that heats up in a much higher temp up to 147c for 1 to 4 seconds, then you lose not everything but most of the vitamins and mimirals and lot of the casein that changes in such heat, compare that to low pastorization that only heats up to +72c för 30 seconds.
At 5:00 you said that proteins denature and are much more difficult to break after cooking them. With that sentence I would strip down your title right away if I could. Go and study some molecular biology first before making these videos.
And yes, I have a degree from cell and molecular biology.
Thanks for explaining this in an unbiased way. I always hear vegans talk about milk like it's poison and the other side is just people who hate vegans and don't give any real facts about milk.

@@jamesechevarria6177 super market
Well that "food" a literal poison. You can find out in the video why. Also, outside of low fat milk with gmo cereals, they had to have eaten extremely healthy and do sports/exercise to get to their age and be functional
Cereal is terrible. Sugar factory
Low fat and skim milk is the worst to buy. Very high in milk sugar.
Yeah pasteurisation equals lactose intolerance that’s why no body in the world can digest pasteurised milk
All my life I have been taught that anything with milk is supposed to be the "perfect" & "natural" food. Wether it be Ice cream, cheese yogurt or milk: it was always good for you. But somehow( other than cheese), I have naturally moved away from eating or drinking milk products, and really haven't missed them at all.
But now good whole milk cheese is another story altogether. Lol
how come naturally moved away despite that long life time training??!! you have sensed your body very well then..!!
The bigger question is what was the first human who drank cow milk doing to the cow in the first place
It’s almost impossible to find organic milk or any food.
Where are you based Patrick?
Paul , i’m in the Philippines.
@@commandernoodles2367 You're gonna have to buy your own cow 😁
I'm gonna quit milk and just use cream/yoghurt.
Aldi's sells organic milk.
@@commandernoodles2367 Are you having problems in the Philippines with the Covid lockdown?
Pasteurization is just getting the milk heated and cooled to kill bacteria.
Homogenization is forcing the milk through a small hole that breaks up the large fat blobs into tiny blobs.
This changes the texture and almost all other characteristics of milk.
These are two very different things!
You can pasteurize but not homogenize milk, that takes care of all the health issues that a government can be worried about. The fact that the US uses so much homogenization is about shelf life it has nothing to do with health. It would be easy for manufacturers to make milk pasteurized and NOT homogenized. This kind of milk is what we usually get in Europe. If you leave pasteurized but not homogenized milk out it separates out, you can boil it up to get the solid white part (Americans don't even have a name for it - it's like cottage cheese but not exactly) and the whey ... both are edible and good. Also you can make home-made yoghurt with it (just needs some previous yoghurt for the bacteria).
If you leave homogenized milk out it just goes bad.
The sad thing is most Americans don't even know how real milk should behave they think this is normal.
My issue with this presentation is that it bundles pasteurization and homogenization together. These are not the only two options!
It is possible to get pasteurized and non-homogenized milk and then you still have most of the benefits.
I nursed my four children. I weened them after time. The longest I nursed was 22 months. They got the colostrum at the beginning. I know I've never seen animals drinking milk all their lives like humans do. Thanks for the video. I always learn something here.
I used to drink raw milk, but it just gives me terrible runs.
A couple more points: If you are on a low-carb diet, anything lighter than whole milk has too much sugar. It's ironic people think skim milk must be more healthy, but it's not. Also grass fed is important, as grain fed introduces contents we don't want.
IMO natural (!) milk is very beneficial for all mammals but only for babies
Wow things have changed. I just Googled raw milk and it is now only 1 hour and 6 minutes away by car used to be 3 or 4 hours. I can't wait to visit this little dairy farm
When u take raw milk bovine TB occurs.....what to do
Thanks for the video!
Could you please explain the difference between A1 milk and A2 milk?
This is my question as well. I heard a lot that casein a1 is good for body but casein a2 causes inflammation. Is it true?
@@mahnazqafari206 it's actually the opposite
How do you get rid of the harmfull bacteria without pasturising it?
A grown human doesn't need milk, we don't have a ridiculous calcium requirement past infancy. Commercial cow's milk contains antibiotic residues. One could argue that milk is more toxic than it is beneficial for adults.

So what if the proteins denature? Does my stomach acid not denature the protein anyway?
They don’t want us to eat or drink what’s good for us…
Im SO loving this channel!!!
I'd like to try Raw Milk, but I'm concerned about its safety. If we're not used to certain bacteria in our gut, I'm afraid it could cause a bad reaction. Wasn't there a reason milk had to be pasteurised? (I'm in the UK) Any comments, anyone? 🤔
Here's Wikipedia's take, from its page on pasteurization:
"Milk is an excellent medium for microbial growth,[17] and when it is stored at ambient temperature bacteria and other pathogens soon proliferate.[18] The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease source, making it one of the world's most dangerous food products.[19][20] Diseases prevented by pasteurization can include tuberculosis, brucellosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and Q-fever; it also kills the harmful bacteria Salmonella, Listeria, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli O157:H7,[21][22] among others."
@@JohnMoseley thank-you, that's really useful. My husband and I have been discussing whether or not to try it. On reflection, I think we won't. 🙂
@@rachelm7525 Does sound as if, if you're very careful with raw milk, you'd probably be fine. Whether the benefits are worth it, I'm not sure. Perhaps, as Ekberg sort of suggests, products like yoghurt and kefir give you the best of both worlds - safety, but with helpful enzymes and good bacteria.
Grateful to see this video. I have to adjust my habit. Thank you, my favourite doctor and your channel!
I Drink Milk Liter every day last 30 years , Feeling Good
OMG THE BEST EXPLANATION TO A LONG LONG TIME QUESTION ABOUT MILK .... THANK YOU SO MUCH DR.EKBERG
Thank you Leticia Cabbigat. I really appreciate your feedback and so glad you liked it. The greatest compliment you can give is to help us help more people by sharing the videos.
Perhaps the biggest argument in the medical world Is that people with either osteopenia or osteoporosis need milk. What say you? Please do a video on asked you paralysis in calcium
He’s not even an expert in this area,,, what are you talking about? This dude is just like “dr” berg... using titles and certifications to trick low-information-voters into thinking they’re experts,,,
Anybody who pushes dairy products is a doofus
@@mr.t7221 I take it you're a vegan right Mr. T?
Humans are humans not mammals though I'm sure Satan is delighted to hear you misclassifying us.
Thank you, for all the advice you gave. God bless you.
Milk is pasteurised because of the organisms which cause disease in humans such as tuberculosis and contageous abortion obtained from the milk of infected cows. Milk is pasteurised at between 68 and 72°C and held in the pasteuriser for 15 seconds. Not all bacteria are killed but those mentioned are. Sterilization takes place at much higher temperatures as well as denaturing which is required for the making of fermented products, and even higher for extended life milk 120 to 140°C under pressure. Anyone drinking raw milk should insist on a veterinary clearance certificate from the farmer which states that the cows are free from tuberculosis and contageous abortion.
Have you even drunk raw milk?
@@soner818 I had a dairy farm, milking approximately 100 cows/day! On that farm I had a factory which processed up to 20000lt/day, most of it purchased from other farmers. My own herd was tested annually for TB and CA and me and my family would only drink pasteurized milk on my insistance. And to answer your question yes I have drunk raw milk: there is no difference! but there is an enormous difference between a product made from raw milk and that made from pasteurized milk. The raw milk products such as soured milk, yoghurt, and cheese are inclined to "blow" and have a very short shelf life. My customers had the choice of purchasing raw milk or processed milk. Most chose the latter. A health inspector who used to inspect my herd told me he was advised by his Doctor to drink raw milk because he had cancer. He died a few months after telling me that.
@@kevinkopp6299 I beg to differ about there being no difference between pasteurised and unpasteurised. You only have to compare them under the microscope to see the difference.
There is no difference in the TASTE. I did not mention that my dairy factory had its own laboratory. We tested for total bacterial count, e.coli, and butterfat content. Some people would not drink raw milk ever again if they were to see the results of some of the samples!
@@kevinkopp6299 I drunk raw milk for over three months with no ill effects. In fact I could drink raw milk without having sinous and phlegm problems that are caused by pasteurised milk. If people understood that bacteria are not our enemies but friends and stop all that fear mongering. Our bodies have 10 times more bacteria inside and outside without causing us ill effect than we have cells in our body.
