Is Raw Milk Good for You to Drink? || Raw Milk vs Pasteurized Milk

There are many nutritional benefits of raw, unpasteurized milk. I’m gonna go through several and show why they are unique to raw milk, and don’t apply to pasteurized milk.

Most of the information in this video is backed by research which can be found on the Weston A. Price Foundation website, and their campaign for raw milk website:

RAW MILK BENEFITS
1. Lots of good bacteria
• Some people estimate that an average adult has about 6 lbs of good bacteria in our gut that is essential to life. But due to the constant barrage of chemicals from pesticides and whatnot in our modern day, our bacterial balance is usually out of whack, but raw milk is a great way to restore some order to that imbalance. Raw milk is a living substance that contains lots of bacteria that is extremely beneficial and sometimes necessary for our digestive and healthy bodily functions.
• Pasteurization kills all bacteria (even the good stuff)

2. Good source of protein
• Milk is a great source of protein due to the fact that it’s balanced by high levels of saturated fat and certain vitamins which are necessary for proper utilization of protein by our bodies.
• During pasteurization, the proteins change shape so that they can’t be digested normally and causes your body to perceive them as a threat, leading to milk allergies in many cases.

3. Lots of enzymes
• One of the great things about milk is that it’s easy to digest due to the high levels of naturally occurring enzymes. In many ways raw milk digests itself. My wife was lactose intolerant until she switched to raw milk! Now she has no issues with milk.
• Pasteurization destroys the fragile enzymes therefore making it harder to digest and sometimes causing lactose intolerance.

4. Very satisfying
• Milk contains a good balance of macro-nutrients (like complex sugars, high-quality proteins, and saturated fat) and lots of micro-nutrients (cholesterol, calcium, vitamin A, and others)
• In addition to affecting other nutrients, pasteurization changes the sugar to be easier for the body to absorb. Good, right? NO! Sugar is one of the things that we don’t want to be easy to absorb. Fast acting sugars cause a quick spike in blood sugar, to which your body will respond by an over-release of insulin, and that’s followed by a sudden loss of energy shortly after due to the sugar being quickly absorbed and depleted. You repeat this process to many times and it will almost certainly result in diabetes.

CONCLUSION:
After an honest assessment of raw vs pasteurized milk, almost everyone will admit that raw milk is vastly superior from a nutritional standpoint. But, then the objection is raised that, “even though raw milk is more nutritious, it can be contaminated and therefore is inherently dangerous and pasteurization (while not ideal) is necessary and our saving grace.”
