I have not yet found anywhere on grocery store shelves ANY commercial milk that says that it is from grass-fed cows. Therefore one is left to assume that all store milk is from grain-fed cows - probably GMO corn. Corn makes cows sick raising e-coli counts, therefore they need antibiotics. Good thing that milk is pasteurized. Doesn't seem prudent to drink that milk! Our problem with antibiotic resistance is directly related to the antibiotics fed to animals we eat.) Michael Pollan in the movie "Food Inc" said that if farmers put their cows on grass for 2 weeks prior to slaughter, e-coli counts would drop by 90%. But factory farms won't do this because it costs them too much money.

That is why I feel perfectly comfortable drinking raw milk from my grass-fed, therefore healthy cows at a small local farm where I know the agisters that are looking after my animals.

Is there a double standard when one considers that anyone can go to the store and buy factory-farmed ground beef (which also comes from a cow), take it home and eat it raw if they wanted, yet the government wants to deny me my grass-fed raw milk because it is "too dangerous"? (c)

Fecal Bacteria Found in Nearly Half of Fast Food Soda Fountains
Posted by: Dr. Mercola
January 30 2010 | 26,210 views


A recent study has revealed that a full 48 percent of soda fountains at fast food restaurants contain coliform bacteria -- a bacteria that grows in feces. Eleven percent also contained E. Coli.

Other opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms found included Chryseobacterium meningosepticum and of Klebsiella, Staphylococcus, Stenotrophomonas, Candida, and Serratia. Most of the identified bacteria showed resistance to one or more of 11 antibiotics tested.

While there have been few certified outbreaks over in the last ten years related to soda fountains, many incidents of food poisoning go unreported.

Got milk? Keep it raw

The doomsayers who are utilizing Louis Pasteur’s theory for labelling our raw milk products a health hazard almost make me feel I am lucky to be alive, considering that was the only kind of milk available to me for the first 17 years of my life.

They conveniently forget that he is also the founder of the science of immunology, and ignoring the fact that pasteurizing is the simplest part of the legacy he left us. Just heat the stuff to a certain temperature, and hope that the good bacteria will still be alive.

Immunity on the other hand is difficult to detect and measure, but has probably been a vital ingredient in many people’s life, without them knowing it.

I was born in Denmark in 1922 on a farm named Granly, where the hygienic condition for raw milk was primitive to say the least, but it did improve substantially in 1936/37, when electricity and milking machines arrived on the scene. Literally overnight the uncovered milk pails disappeared.

Until then our forefathers must have benefited from the law of immunity without knowing it. The cows’ udders went unwashed, dirt and fecal matter was something we did not talk about, but it was there – we saw it in the sieve sometimes when we poured milk into the churn.

There was simply nothing we could do, but leave it to the creamery to filter it, hoping the British did not notice. After all, Danish butter was number one.

Since I arrived in Canada, I often wondered how Denmark survived without screen doors and windows.

Granly had the largest plantation in the country as its neighbour, which we naturally blamed for our housefly problem. They mostly congregated where the chimney met the ceiling by the kitchen stove.

We sprayed regularly during the summer and would sweep up a large dustpan full of dead ones.

Also, it was normal to have dead flies floating on top of our coffee. One or two we could manage, but with four or five we scooped them off.

In case you are interested, I am still well, not on any medication and see my doctor once a year.

Perhaps these well-meaning opponents of raw milk haven‘t done their homework on immunology, which without question is the most important theory left us from Dr. Pasteur.

If the exposure to dirt and grime is helpful to children at an early age, for building immunity to asthma and allergies, why should we worry about raw milk?

It’s unfortunate the Eskimos and other native tribes are so far away, it may be just what they need to replace seal blubber, which they apparently used for creating some immunity to diabetes.

Growth hormones an other artificial ingredients in our animal feed, which Dr. Pasteur probably never dreamed of, appears to be a more urgent subject for civil servants to get their hands dirty on.

I will eat Canadian cheese again, when they get it cleaned up.
