Raw milk-- looking for articles

[sparrowinsky]

I've gotten interested in "raw" lately. It makes more sense to me to consume things that are unaltered and natural, where it is safe to do so. I've been talking about it almost nonstop, so my mom asked me for information.

Aaaand that's my problem. Magazine articles and blogs ain't gonna sway her. My family tends to be very much on the skeptical side of things. I did some searches for scholarly reports regarding either benefits of raw milk (or at least anything that didn't basically say "OMG EVIL DON'T DRINK"), or some of the dangers I've been hearing about regarding homogenized milk. And... I can't find a thing.

I keep seeing references to scholarly works regarding this subject. Does anyone know where they are? I'm at a loss at this point.

Check out the Weston A. Price Foundation.

If you are seeking favorable reports on raw milk, stay away from scholarly reports. The information that comes from actual data and real science is mostly the anti-raw milk stuff that goes against what you want to believe to be true.

I just started drinking raw milk. It took a little bit of doing to find a source, but I got one! But, being the skeptic I am, I've decided to buy my own cow and goats and raise my own raw milk.

Here are a couple of links I found helpful.
