I totally disagree with the first answer. This was the government propaganda that was pushed to start the pasteurization and homogenization of good pure and raw milk. Over one million people in the US and over 50 million people worldwide drink raw cows milk daily and no one gets any harmful Salmonella from it. Pateruization KILLS all the good nutrients that come with this super food, including easily assimulated Vitamin D, which they try to put back in using a synthetic that is useless. Our family drinks pure raw cows milk, butter, yogurt and keefir daily, direct from a local dairy, have done so for a very long time, I am 63, and very heatlhy.
