I've commented on this before. Around the 1900's they did a clinical trial where people milked dairy animals and exclusively drank the milk from the animals they milked for a whole month, with the exception of those who needed more solid foods like whole wheat bread and chicken soup in addition to the daily helping of a gallon of milk.
Immune systems were reset and people were healed of diabetes, crones disease, and some other 'untreatables.'
Where's the danger of raw milk from healthy animals really at?
There's probably little to no danger if you can consume it within a day or two after milking. I think the big problem comes when it has to be mass transported, packaged, and distributed to stores - by the time it would get to the consumers' tables, who knows what would be growing in it if it weren't pasteurized?
Here's the basic rundown. Raw milk does not expire. It sours and becomes sour cream. Raw milk is full of live enzymes that kill bacteria and viruses. One California farmer was known to put e coli directly into a glass of fresh raw milk. Within 15 minutes or so, the e coli had been killed by the thriving ecosystem within the milk. To prove his point, he would then drink the milk.
Conversely, pasteurized milk has to be pasteurized because it usually comes from sick cows. Mega dairy cows have a productive lifespan of about 3-4 years, if I remember right, and their milk is somewhere between 1/4th to 1/3rd puss that separates during the pasteurization process which kills all antibodies, enzymes beneficial to digestion, and everything else. Without those enzymes, your body actually has to leach nutrition from your bones in order to properly digest the milk, contributing to osteoporosis.
After the pasteurization process it goes through a process that recombines the puss with the milk and prevents it from separating so it looks like it's all white milk. This 'dead' milk is essentially a liquid petri dish for bacteria. The reason why typical milk smells so bad when it goes past the date is because it is literally rotting in the jug.
Eww...
It's not profitable because of the potential for spoilage (shorter shelf life?). Pasteurized milk is "safe" ($$$) - for the milk industry!
Raw milk actually has a decent shelf-life, like you would expect milk to have. The problem is regulations heavily target raw milk dairies. While regular dairies can send their milk off to processing plants, most raw milk dairies have to swallow the expense of building their own bottling plants and have to rely on distribution methods such as people driving to the dairy itself to purchase it or shipping loads to co-ops.
It is outright illegal to sell raw milk in many states. It is safe, even according to government tests, but it would give competition to mega-dairies. Also, imagine if people could potentially, on their own, get enough to do a milk-diet for a month and possibly be healed from things like diabetes that otherwise requires a lifetime of medication. Who would lose out in that situation?
It is criminal what Big Corp is doing.
