Most people would argue they will not drink unpasteurized milk because it will make them sick. Contrary to belief after all these years the truth may be that organic milk is actually better for us and safer to drink. In the late 1930’s is when the big stink about the Raw milk being bad for us was brought about. And why might we ask ourselves would this be? It was due to unsanitary safety measures. Take a look at this insert from:

According to Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz, a Ph.D. in Nutrition located in Washington, D.C., in Raw Milk; Udderly Health-giving!:

The bad rhetoric about raw milk as a carrier for disease began in late 1930’s when, as Knudsen Dairy employee Alton Eliason testified, conglomerate Knudsen Dairy began a ruthless conspiracy to eliminate its small competitors and ensure less spoiled milk. Knudsen began pasteurizing its dairy products but few people bought them because they were inferior in taste and health-giving properties. Knudsen claimed that pasteurized dairy was the only safe dairy and hired doctors, without research, to testify that raw milk caused diseases. They paid and worked with health officials to outlaw public and farm sales of raw milk. They paid writers to tell gruesome tales about dirty raw milk being a carrier of disease. City dwellers began to believe that anyone who drank it was crazy or stupid. However, the people who worked with raw milk and drank it regularly were not fooled. The campaign to force pasteurization down people’s throats is still alive today and your article continued it.

“Over 290 billion glasses of raw milk have been consumed in the USA since 1960 without one epidemic and not one scientifically associated case of sickness,” reported biological attorney Raymond A. Novell. “However, pasteurized dairy has been scientifically proved to have caused numerous epidemics, including one that affected 197,000 people; and that fact is from CDC.”

Next time we might ask ourselves twice and think organic when buying raw milk.
