Pennsauken, NJ (PRNewswire) May 29, 2009 -- If you thought drinking pasteurized, homogenized, nonfat milk was healthy; you might want to think again. A new trend is re-emerging, back to the days of the farmer, green grass and cows free to roam in the sun.
A group of natural and whole food liberators is promoting the effects of drinking milk. But not just any milk, in fact, it must be raw.
“Raw milk is a misnomer, suggesting that all milk has to be cooked,” reports Kevin Brown, owner of Visionary Trainers, the largest in-home personal training firm in New Jersey and the tri-state area and author of the Liberation Diet, a new book supporting the need to go back to eating real food while removing processed junk food from our diets. “People have been drinking milk for thousands of years, and it isn’t until recently that cows have been fed an adjusted diet to increase milk and corporate dairy profits, creating mal nourished cattle and poor qualities of milk.”
To meet the soaring demand for spirits, distilleries sprang up in most major cities in the late 19th century. Some entrepreneurs confined cows adjacent to the distillery and feed them the swill left over from the spirit-making process.
The effects of distillery dairy milk were typically not positive, where the cows produced bluish colored milk so poor in quality, it couldn't even be used for making butter or cheese. This combined with sick workers, dirty hands, diseased animals and any number of contaminants in unsanitary milk pails and new diseases emerged.
“Once cattle were fed slop coming from the leftover grains after the distillery process was done, the milk coming from the cattle was toxic, resulting in a spike in infant deaths,” reports Brown. The sterilizing of the milk to kill food borne illnesses was borne. Browns team of fitness and nutrition experts report, “I do not believe it is a coincidence that we are witnessing catastrophic levels of obesity, poor nutrition and lifestyle diseases such as heart disease and some forms of cancer.”
“Few people are aware that clean, raw milk from grass-fed cows was actually used as a medicine in the early part of the last century,” Brown says. He goes on to say that clean raw milk from pastured cows is a complete and properly balanced food. He even says that you could live on it exclusively if you had to.
So if you are feeling adventurous, where does one find raw milk?
“Local farmers are great resources. We recommend whole, raw milk from well-cared-for, grass fed cows or goats because it is healthier than pasteurized milk.”
