I’m the first!!!! This the earliest I’ve been
Colostrum, also known as first milk, is the initial milk produced by a cow shortly after calving. It is rich in antibodies, nutrients, and enzymes essential for the calf's health and immune system. Colostrum has a thicker consistency and a yellowish color compared to regular milk. It is a crucial source of nutrition for newborn calves during their first days of life.
This is what is described by farmers the so called doctor is way of he talks about regular milk that dont have these properties in the same way.
Okay, so I was raised farming, but we didn't raise cows or produce milk. I drank the same pasteurized milk every city slicker kid did, except when visiting friends' farms, where we would watch the dairy farmer fill a metal pitcher with milk straight from the barn cistern that constantly stirred the fresh milk. That was very rare for me. I am willing to bet that it wasn't the raw milk but the fact that farm kids don't walk around a farm with hand sanitizer and wash their hands after everything they pick up. I would pick veggies for my mom for dinner, like one for mom, two for me, one for mom, one for me (start to feel guilty) give mom two, then eat one more. For some reason, I wouldn't be hungry when I came to the dinner table. All of our garden was fertilized naturally with poop from animals. I would also pick up the fresh eggs, which weren't exactly clean, and then feed the pig, play with the ducks, and defend myself against the evil geese. Yet, with all the "dirt" that I and all other farm kids consumed, what I have never heard of is a true farm kid getting sick with ecoli.
My hypothesis isn't that we are creating super bugs but that we are creating super weak humans. Yes, as we have learned in 2020 and beyond, we need to wash our hands, but that doesn't mean that we should be absorbing huge amounts of disinfectant through our skin in the name of sanitizing, which I am not convinced does any good. Hot water and some soap don't have to be anti-bacterial, as scrubbing under hot water for a specified time is what cleans our hands. That said, viruses are a bigger problem, and people are not washing their hands after using the restroom than all the dirt that farm kids consume. There is such a thing as being too clean! To be strong, our bodies need to be naturally inoculated in small doses, and dirt does do a wonderful job of that. Now I am not talking about city dirt though!!!!!

It's not a perfect solution, and humans created the problem in the first place, that's why the argument is being sparked
@@oscarriley9265is anything perfect? What other solutions are “perfect”? Would you say that drinking milk with blood, puss, and other bacteria is perfect?
@@oscarriley9265 there are no perfect solutions for anything
@@oscarriley9265 Perfect or not, that doesn't suddenly mean the solution is nonexistent or worth condemning. And humans didn't create the problem. We have no control over bacteria and where they pop up, we can only take measures to prevent or get rid of them, which is what pasteurization did. The argument is being sparked because people think that one problem suddenly means the entire system is corrupt with no evidence. It has nothing to do with the solution not being "perfect", especially as it is as good as you're going to get today, for a problem no one has any control over. It's distrust in the government. That's it.
@@oscarriley9265 It's helped almost eliminate these problems for 200 years until people start falling for scammers.
The saddest part is, none of what you said is new information, and readily available.
Imagine having to explain to someone, heating something kills bacteria. I guess they don’t cook their poultry.
It's not just not new... it's been known for 181 years... that's almost as long as the US exists
> I guess they don’t cook their poultry.
I wish. Then this problem would sort itself out in (moderately) short order.
you joke, but i'm pretty sure this has come together with a rise in "raw meat" diets...
Apparently it's the Dunning Kruger effect + motivated reasoning. People who are uninformed talk about topic A ignorantly then their followers select this biased info to push their agenda.
Raw milk advocates understand this, but they argue that it also destroys the GOOD bacteria in raw milk that contain many beneficial micronutrients. Please learn the arguments of the opposing side before criticizing them.
My grandfather’s little brother died from Bovine TB when he was 4 years old, because of contaminated milk. Granpa became a farm vet and spent his life treating cattle. When we talk about these illnesses it’s so easy to forget these are real people and real lives that are changed forever
I first read this as your grandfather dying at 4 years old and I stopped for a minute to try to figure out how that's possible.
@@dantereinhardt6911 omg me too😭😭 I'm so sorry op but I read it as "my grandfather died when he was little" and I was like huhh

Will read that
i love dr. mike
Thanks!
Heard about that book before
I remember seeing a meme "anyone who consumes raw milk has never seen a cow up close" and honestly having grown up in the countryside I'm convinced that's true
And yet, until recent years raw milk was almost exclusively consumed by the people who own the cows and harvest their milk.
@@skyeiron5872someone who is repeatedly exposed to the same bacteria of their farm animals is vastly different to buying raw milk in stores. still not that healthy, though
I drink raw milk and I’ve worked on multiple farms with cows 😂😂
@@skyeiron5872 There is likely a lot less bacteria in milk you drink in the same day at the farm than milk that has been shipped and sitting in a store for a few days.
@@skyeiron5872 if that's a defense for drinking raw milk, you missed the point of the video and are part of the problem ❤
So...I teach Food Safety and Foodborne Illness Prevention as a part of my Culinary Arts classes and I have never been happier to find a video IN MY LIFE! You have no idea how much this is going to help my students. Thank you so much!!
Agreed. I’m a chef as well. I love educational videos like this, definitely reminds me of my old classes in college. Some people really need a good learning of why certain food processes are the way they are, yet adamantly refuse to really educate themselves.
@SaraBrannon-g2r
So, is there an epidemic of people being hospitalized for drinking raw milk? Why are you so happy to see this?
Gotta love ServSafe! Won't dine out anywhere where I don't see those certificates hanging.
Reformed chef here and also was field sanitation NCO for multiple Army units over the decades.
Upside, mostly I eat cooked from scratch at home and I eat like a king. An odd king though, my meat serving's typically at most palm sized and the rest a carb source and a butt ton of something green and fiber filled.
Hell, even when I just do pasta, well, I make my marinara in 4 gallon batches with meat and can it in my pressure canner in quart jars. That can literally last me the better part of a year for a case of quart jars full of meat filled marinara.
In culinary school I had to take a food safety class to prepare for taking ServSafe. We had to write a paper on some form of food safety. I wrote mine on raw milk. There are ways to safely consume raw milk. You have assure that milk is collected in a clean manner. Milk must be cooled to 37* within a certain time (sorry--wrote the paper 10 years ago, can't remember the specifics!). Milk must be placed into sterilized containers. The consumer must keep the milk under temperature control at all times. My chef strongly disagreed with my points, however, my paper was written well enough that he gave it a passing grade. Personally, I'd rather drink raw milk than eat any type of fish/seafood. There are some pretty nasty diseases in that stuff!
I work at a coffee shop and the other day I had a lady ask me if the milk was pasteurized. I reassured her it was cuz she said she was really really worried about drinking unpasteurized milk. I ended up taking a picture of the milk label to show her and ease her mind about it. I also mentioned to her I’m not sure it’s even legal for us to sell raw milk as a big coffee company. She was really relieved when she left but I never knew I’d be asked that question. Thanks for the information Dr Mike!
I know there are lots of pregnant women that ask about pasteurized v. Raw milk, because doctors remind them that it can be a healthy risk for the pregnancy.
@@songofthefierce9647 well it is dangerous for a pregnant woman to eat/drink anything that is raw, including raw milk and raw milk cheese
As a transplant patient Raw Milk is a NO, for safety reasons. I also have to check everything for Grapefruit, Seville oranges, and pomegranate as they interfere with antirejection meds.
I'd expect customers to come in and ask for raw milk! And also if the cow is vegan.
I’ve seen places advertise raw milk. I avoid them.
Mike, I appreciate your approach in this video. Well paced. No shouty nonsense. And very informative.
People growing up on farms have lower rates of asthma? Man, definitely the milk and not the vast open fields of greenery. /s
Not being around as much car exhaust is safer? Inconceivable!
Or the animals.
Let's imagine, you live in a place that you have clean air, lot of plants, eat more healthy food that you did plant .. yeah that can lower the asthma, I don't think the fact that you boiled milk or not would interfere in the respiratory system
However, poultry is the exception. Makes the air very unhealthy
Yeah, I agree, definitely milk, no other factors, none whatsoever 😁
I am from Africa (Botswana) and growing up in my grandma's farm we drank "raw milk" everyday. By raw milk I mean immediately after getting it from the cow we placed it's container inside a pot of boiling water over a fire until the milk started foaming. I grew up being taught that it was to prevent passing any diseases from animals to us humans. As for probiotics we normally make madila(fermented/sour milk) which is made from actual raw milk and the fermenting process kills any harmful bacteria.
That's pasteurized milk.
by raw milk you mean you pasteurized your own milk and drank it?
> I grew up being taught that it was to prevent passing any diseases from animals to us humans.
That's correct. The heating process you did is called pasteurization. It's just a fancy way for saying "Enough heat was added to it to get rid of any of the bad stuff".
That's basically what pasteurization do btw 😅
For those who are saying it is just pasteurisation, I think that’s the point of the comment. Pasteurisation is seen as this unsimple and complex thing that requires so much machinery where in reality it is just boiling milk to kill of bacteria. The extra machinery does help a lot with the pasteurisation, but all you need is a pot and some fire
Add to this, those who usually just use the good old boil in a pot method live in rural areas, and even then they will still use it because they know the dangers of raw milk. Most idiots who say that pasteurised milk is worse live in urban areas where there is pasteurised milk galore and all of its benefits over raw milk are evident. And please, because I fear I might be ignorant in saying this, it can’t be only the US having people who say this (as someone who lives in the UK, I have never seen someone complain about pasteurised milk, although I might be blind to what happens around me)
I think genuinely just a lot of people forget the history of why things came into being, like pasturized milk lol.
Vaccines, ingredient labels, OSHA, environmental regulations, unions.
Don’t forget governments
They forget, and (sorry to be "political") but the education system has taken a massive hit ever since the No Child Left Behind Act in the 2000s. Despite the name, it resulted in teachers having to focus on kids memorizing information to do well on a standardized test and then forgetting everything after. Rather than having actual understanding of the information. It's resulted in a large portion of Millennials and Gen Z (and now Gen Alpha) who are these people who are anti-intellectual and love believing in random "alternative" non-sense. It's a massive problem that will take a long time to fix (if we ever can fix it).
at some point people will go "we want freedom! i wanna live in a cave not in a house! revert to stone age! natural!"
you can't forget if you never learnt it in the first place.
social media has warped our brains.
Me and my gf just broke up and I just wanted to say watching your videos are really helping me it’s really hard
You got this buddy!
Ill date u bill
Not as hard as raw milk would be on your health
I'm rooting for you! Hugs ❤
I learned about pasteurisation in primary school. Thought this is a common knowledge, turns out most adults are more forgetting than i wish to be.
Some was never taught this. I know cause I am one of them.
I was also thinking, isn't this primary school knowledge? But your other commenter is right, not all education is equal.
Pasteurisation nukes an enzyme that breaks down lactose, which is why people can't digest and get sick. Also school is a prison for the mind, kido.
21% of US American adults are illiterate. The education system is bad.
@@MsLisa1114 Milk has a lot of bacteria
The bacteria grows over time
This bacteria makes people sick a lot
heating the milk hot enough long enough kills the bacteria.
People don't get sick when they drink the milk. And it takes longer to spoil.
I hate the running belief that if its natural, then it must be good. Yeah, say that to someone thats dying from natural poison they digested in the wild
Exactly! I love rhubarb for example, but parts of the rhubarb plant are poisonous! Give me a break.
Malaria is totally natural....it kills 600 thousand people worldwide annually....but, in a very natural way, it's important to remember that. /s
Yeah whenever someone says that I reply that a lot of poisons are made from natural plants
Honestly, I think it should be legal to put natural toxins into the "amazing raw products" and feed it to the scam artists who are trying to fool people online for money and fame... Because sadly some people fall for it and it's difficult to get them out
Ebola and anthrax are all natural. Actually cant anthrax infect milk. Ow we can keep it clean the only way you are going to do that is put actually diapers on the cows.
Notice how close the udders are to the poop shoot people
Its a bad sign for the education system when people dont believe pasteurisation kills bacteria
There are people who don't believe in microorganisms at all so they think "the system" is putting chemicals into milk for no reason at all.
In 2025 there are people who believe the Earth is flat. That should give you an idea of how bad misinformation and disinformation has infected today's society.
I think it's more of a "the good outweights the bad" mindset. They know there is bacteria, but it's not a good enough reason to miss out on whatever they think raw milk does.
@@lanychabot-laroche135
He’s talking about 4:06, where a quarter weren’t sure if it killed bacteria
@ OH thanks, forgot that part. Yeah ok, people are just dumb.
Louis Pasteur was one of the greatest minds in the history of the world. He was one of the first scientists to form the germ theory. He discovered vaccines that saved animals and humans. Don’t get me wrong, I'm all for people to choose what they want to eat. It would be nice if there were more videos appreciating what scientists like Pasteur gave to the world rather than rejecting them.
Poor man is probably motion sick from rolling in his grave, God rest his soul 😭
I've actually met some chuckleheads that deny germ theory.
Times are quite different from Pasteur's. Pasteurization was way way way more important back when it first hit the scene at the beginning of industrialization.
The supply chains were longer and there was a lot more contamination and issues in general.
Most of the problem with raw milk is that it goes bad and becomes dangerous much more quickly. If it is consumed quickly with little time to spoil the risk is not all that high (think like a couple of days of shelf life vs a couple of weeks with pasteurized), getting infections would be pretty rare and the vast majority of any infections would be self limited/minor.
In a healthy person I would not be that concerned about infections. What bothers me about this movement is the lying about amazing benefits.
What I would say is if you're going to drink it, it better be because you just like it more. Live and let live, just be careful about where you are getting it from and be more conscious about shelf stability and don't expect any amazing benefits, there likely aren't many
idk why this debate even started
@MZOfficial104 BECAUSE JOE ROGAN and his motley crew of nitwit had something to say about it much like they had to talk smack about vaccines.
Cuz ppl for some reason are scared of "harmful chemicals" being in their milk to where they're willing to risk getting sick instead :P
Because major world governments (not naming names here) are putting people in power who want to bring back raw milk
I drink raw milk everyday and I'm fine, but first it has to be heated to 161F for 15 seconds and then rapidly cooled.
@@luodeligesi7238That's literally pasteurized milk
Ah, yes, the current modern Era, where online podcast bros encourage us to roll back life saving medical advancements from hundreds of years ago. What a time to be alive.
I mean, it sucks that its being recommended, but also sucks that the government won't allow people to sell it, safety is a double edged sword
@@BloodyCandy468 why do modern enforced safety hazards suck?
@ because in the name of "safety" freedoms are taken from people, see it with food, see it with medicine, some laws and regulations do need put in place, but they should be aimed at quality of product and informing the people rather than stopping people from selling or buying what they choose, for example here its federally illegal to ship between states for no real reason the government limits ways this product can be sold instead of having say Kroger or Walmart inform the buyers where its from, how fresh it is, the dangers, etc.
same can be said for a lot of things in most countries, limited to how you can sell it or not being able to sell it at all instead of allowing the sale for consenting people(s) with enforcement on people being informed and its not just consumables but weapons, materials, etc.
thats just the freedom to buy and sell as well as own your own property and body but also because of reasons to do with safety organizations like the NSA have gotten away with spying on the people, there is no place in America where you're truly free to be autonomous, etc. You are expected to always be compliant with the government and allow them to tell you what you can do and how to do it while they also steal from you, spy on you, and then don't even protect you or inform you.
@@BloodyCandy468 why does it suck that the government won't let people sell an objectively dangerous product, especially when they explicitly advertise it as healthy and for consumption.
@@BloodyCandy468 we should make cocaine legal. It has some medical benefits.

I see what you did there 👀😂

Cowabunga!
Dr Mike is always spreading misinformation. Remember how he lied during covid? Told people to wear masks while he was partying it up without one. His a fraud.
@@rosettasilvermist He gives it the heat then cools it down 15 seconds later
Tbh - I still dream about the milk I drank in Europe. It was pasturized but with a different method than the US. We have to add Vitamin A back to milk because we pasteurize milk in larger batches, so higher temps are needed to ensure no bacteria survives. In the EU they do small batch targeted pasturization. It keeps a lot of the good stuff in milk without the bacteria. Also it just tastes better.
Milk here is called UHT. Ultra High Temperature. Not sure what you're talking about. Milk refrigerated I'm cartons is quite uncommon here and not what most people buy. It's UHT all the way for most people. And it does taste different from fresh (refrigerated, not shelf-stable) pasteurized milk.
@@FigaroHeyMaybe they went to Sweden, some 90% of all cow milk sold here is low pasteurized and refridgerated. High pasteurization is mostly used for a few cheap brands and lactose free milk.
@@FigaroHey in the US, UHT milk is available, but it's twice the price of refrigerated pasteurized milk, much to my annoyance. When abroad, I also enjoyed using UHT cream in small batches for some dishes I cooked, can't find it for love, honor or money in the US, only refrigerated can be found.
I do keep a few UHT milk containers on my shelves though, since I have to walk a couple of miles each way to the stupidmarket and it saves trudging in foul weather to have that on hand and well, a lot of physical pain in winter due to Raynaud's and the risk of heat injury in the summer, as I am getting on in years and walk with a cane. Gotta run out a bit later today to get a few things, just waiting for it to get more than a couple of degrees above freezing, so that my icicles don't get frostbite. ;)
I was raised on raw milk. We had so much milk in the fridge, we drank milk, instead of water. Mom made home made cottage cheese, which got fed to the chickens when there was an excess. We separated the cream and churned our own butter.
But we had our own cow, which we milked twice per day. There was a sequence of things we did to clean and sterilize the udder and teets before milking. And the buckets were washed and cleaned before every milking.
This. There's nothing wrong with raw milk as long as long as the cow is healthy and everything is cleaned/sterilized. The issue is that commercially producing raw milk is borderline impossible, thus I would also agree that pasteurizing is necessary. But for one cow and one family, I see no issue.
There's a lot of good bacteria and nutrients that's also killed off during the heating process, and that's the core of the argument that most people have when calling it "better for you." It probably is better, but at what risk?
Yeah. Maybe it's fine at small scales and with less of a shelf life needed. But when scaling up and industrialising, you're simply going to have less control and it's so much easier for something to slip past you. Which is why pasteurisation is perfect, though from the comments it seems like many people have been doing it at a smaller scale for years anyway
So basically... You took care of the cow how it's meant to be taken care of and it was fine. People don't seem to understand this for some reason and it's frustrating
@@KenzaSheep The "better for you" argument still just seems extraordinarily silly. This isn't like comparing fruit to candy where the latter has no nutritional value and can have very real consequences to one's health if not eaten in moderation. Pasteurized milk is nutritious and good for you.
Unless a massive portion of your diet and nutrient intake as an adult is comprised of just milk (which would be very concerning in and of itself), there's absolutely no compelling reason why anyone should take on a KNOWN and very SERIOUS risk to their health for what, in the grand scheme of things, is a minuscule benefit at best.
If you're a normal person who drinks a typical amount of milk per day along with a varied and nutritious diet then you are getting NO real benefit from rolling the die on raw milk.
@@rpa1083It’s not your die to roll.
I swear Doctor Mike teaches me more than my high school… 😢 please don’t stop wat you do best!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤
To quote slipknot" that's what you do best" *face melting riff*
maybe start paying attention in classes?
@blackspider4 to their defense, I didn't learn about pasteurization in high school. It was taught in elementary school. This is something 10 year olds are taught.
That’s sad
Except his bias is ridiculous raw milk is not dangerous, I mean if your cow has bird flu ya, but trust me farmers watch that very closely nobody in these cities around the country don't understand how farms work and how much work goes on this farm raw milk is so perfect he is just not trained right as a Dr, Dr Mike went to traditional medical school that teaches the same garbage of cholesterol and saturated fats are causing heart disease, we need a complete overhaul of our medical school system and start teaching Drs a lot more proper nutrition like using diet to heal us not drugs all the time keto carnivore lifestyle is saving ppl from horrendous chronic disease and helping millions around the world, while big pharma and big food are taking over and paying their way into killing ppl with their drugs it's nice to have sometimes but it is not an everyday answer carbs and processed food is the problem not things like children drinking raw milk, and trust me nobody after puberty needs an ounce of milk anyway it's meant for all growing children not for adults to get fat
I can't believe this is even a thing today. I used to drink raw milk 20 years ago in my teens, and we used to heat the raw milk before we drink it, similar to the pastuerisation process. It is common sense, just like how we cook meat with heat before eating. Just common sense.
idiocy has lost all shame
Key here is you still pasteurized the milk
So you didn't drink raw milk? I'm confused by your wording
@@danzackblack5829they bought raw milk, basically pasteurized it at home, and then consumed it.
You still pasteurized it. You may have bought it raw, but you still pasteurized it. You don't seem to understand anything, do you?
Excellent video, Dr. Mike. Calm, centered, informative. Not judgmental or scoldy. Really appreciate your approach to health and research!
My husband whose a vet and done work on cows says “no one who drinks raw milk has seen a cows udder or their living environment. These cows are nasty”
The inhumane, unsanitary treatment of cows is what makes the milk need to be pasteurized in the first place
I would argue that it's the dairy farms that are nasty, and the horrific way we treat all animals in industrialized farm settings.
But it is a way to feed 9 billion people. In America, 30% of land is used for cattle.
@@TabaquiJackal906 Yep, this. I've grown up on raw goat's milk my whole life, as my family raises goats on our own small farm. Thing is, we treat our goats right---we aren't cramming too many animals into too little space, and we're feeding them with the best quality stuff we can. Plus, we cool the milk as quick as we can and don't drink it if it's more than a week old---if it tastes or smells funny, it goes to the chickens. If the only milk I had access to was from a major dairy farm, then yes, please, pasteurize it. I don't want to know what those cows have been exposed to or what bacteria and viruses are growing from their living conditions. But from my own family's farm where we know exactly what's going on with our animals and what their living conditions are, and where we make sure to clean their udders before we begin milking, and where if the goat steps in the milk it goes straight to the chickens? I would trust that milk any time. I know where it's coming from, I know how it's gotten, I know how the animals are treated. Commercial farms are a VERY different story. So, really, what I'd say for raw milk---be aware of who you're sourcing it from. Do your research. If they won't let you see their process and won't explain what they're doing and why, have caution. If you don't know how the animals are living and being treated, that's cause for trouble; the whole reason my family owns goats in the first place is because my parents weren't satisfied with the way the people we were buying milk from were doing things.
@@davidmccarthy6061 I could be wrong here but I think that 30% is calculated from total private/corporate owned land.. which removes all the federally and state owned real estate from the equation.
There's a far easier argument you can do to turn those people away : Most influencers says they simply boil their milk before consuming it to prevent issues.
Imagine saying to people that boiled milk is bad for them then tell them to boil their milk.
No, these influencers don't boil their raw milk

*QVOD LICET IOVI NON LICET BOVI*
People wanting to go back to an age of massive infections and death perplexes me. I, for me, am eternally grateful to modern life saving medicine.
The past SUCKED. The pro-disease morons have never read ANY history.
And dentistry!
Let’s call this “natural selection”? 🤔
They cannot understand that the reason we don’t have high numbers of deaths from infections is because of the measures we take to prevent them. They really think we got rid of those diseases. They think that what they haven’t seen can’t hurt them. And we cannot forget that scammers purposely advertise using false claims and our STEM education is almost nonexistent at the K-12 level.
True, first that anti vaccination thing and now risky milk. What's wrong with people?
My grandparents were dairy farmers. They thought people who drank raw milk were fools. Never once did I see anything but Pasteurized milk in their fridge. When a cousin expressed a desire to start drinking raw milk, they immediately offered to pay for him to get a vasectomy.
I love this story, and fully intend to share it with any moron who crosses my path proselytizing the virtues of raw milk.
Yes, in america, where your food is poisonous and contaminated. In europe, we drink raw milk all the time and no one gets sick.
Work on your standards,milk in itself isn't a problem.
Sounds like your grandparents were psychos.
@@lionheart2982 Yeah, well, they were looking at the environment and country they were living in. They'd been to Europe a few times. My grandpa once remarked that his parents had really screwed up leaving Europe for the US..... Both noted that the US could learn a lot from Europeans...... I'd certainly like to leave the US, and have wanted to for awhile. It's been embarrassing to be a US citizen for a few decades now.....
@RMSTitanicWSL Yeah,i understand them. Dudes like this don't help the situation either. They usually ignore the underlying issues and straight attack the natural product. What can you expect? This sellout is literally sponsored by walmart.
so many of these ridiculous beliefs that appear out of nowhere could be irradicated if the US education system was actually good
That’s why we should get rid of it and let the states handle their education system
Maybe. Part of this "ridiculous beliefs" could be from the fact we are isolated and need to feel part of a group, so will prefer to back to life being alone with nobody or still believing this ridiculous idea but has someone to talk to? Other could be of mistrusted of government and the view of everything is corrupted, from top politicians who wanted your vote to Bob from accounting's office.

And surely having no federal standards wouldn't lead to multiple states getting rid of basic science standards in place of pseudo-religious dogma, and I'm sure multiple states wouldn't teach their kids that pasteurized milk is a conspiracy, thus exacerbating the issue that led to this hypothetical "let the states set up their own independent education systems" approach in the first place. Sure, California, New York, and Massachusetts students would benefit, but Mississippi, West Virginia, and Arkansas students would be greatly deprived.

I am a dairy farmer from New Zealand. I wouldn't recommend anyone drink raw milk it's not worth the risk. I would only ever drink raw milk that came off my farm because I know first hand the hygiene practices I take. In New Zealand if you want to supply your milk to a company like Fonterra or Open Country you have to follow a set of strict regulations such as washing the whole plant with acid every day and alkine a few times a week, keeping the milk below 5 degrees, and every dairy farm in New Zealand has a milk quality monitoring system that tells you how much bacteria is in the milk, also we have shed inspections every year. I know the efforts I go through to keep the whole process hygieneic and so I feel comfortable enough to drink raw milk that comes off my farm. I would never just drink raw milk from an unknown farmer/unknown source you have no idea how seriously they take shed hygiene and you have know idea how old that milk is it's simply dangerous and not worth the risk. There is absolutely nothing wrong with pasturised milk remember there is a reason why we started to pasturise milk in the first place.
Also I would only ever drink raw milk that is one maybe two days old if it has been stored correctly.
I am also a farmer, we grow mostly vegetables but my wife grew up on a dairy farm and i knew it was only a matter of time until we had cows. I completely agree with your approach to raw milk. I will only drink raw milk from my cow or one from a farming friend I know personally. There are few farms nearby that do a bad job, I can the smell and taste of their products. If the yogurt tastes off there is no way I am drinking the raw milk.
Yes. If the animals are treated well and the milk is handled carefully, it's generally safe. But if you were to give me milk from a big commercial dairy farm, or any dairy farm I can't verify the practices of in-person? Yeah, pasteurize that stuff before you give it to me. I don't want to know what might be in it raw.
Same here in Austria.
Thx for sharing
My grandparents were dairy farmers. They kept a spotless dairy barn and very good care of their herd--with ruthless precision--using all of the measures you use. When a cousin expressed a desire to buy raw milk from them, they promptly offered to pay for him to get a vasectomy--and made it very clear he should never, never breed.....

That doesn't mean that its bad@@arianavail
I'm also guessing that the confusion of the term "pastuization" in people who already have mistrust of pharmacology and food production makes it sound like something really complicated is added to tinker with a food that comes from a natural source. Messaging that the pasturing process is not adding mysterious chemical tinkering but just heating it up for a short time may alleviate the mistrust.
I saw a tiktok recently of a woman who asked "Would heating the raw milk before drinking it make it safe?".
The comments were filled with "WTF do think pasteurization is?" 😂
So yeah, you're probably right!
I began drinking raw milk months ago. I haven't had any stomach issues that I normally would when consuming pasteurized or even the lactaid 2% milk. I only use it in my lattes which I have only once a day. I enjoy it & only use it because of the research I've done outweighs the side effects of regular milk for me. My daughter, who I originally got it for, chooses to continue using her lactaid milk.
When people can't understand the dangers of eating Tide pods, good luck explaining how the bacterial cow juice can be detrimental to their health. Sadly, it's usually their unfortunate children who end up paying the price for their parents "beliefs".
And then those parents blame everyone else for their failure to be a good parent

I LOVE RAW COW, GOAT & PIGS MILK. I GREW UP ON RAW MILK BEGINNING IN EARLY 1950s, until I left home. One of my grandfathers had a small dairy. I didn’t drink processed milk until I moved away from home in 1970.
Just because something is natural, doesn't mean it's healthy
Liar! Black widow venom is 100% healthy!
Sugar is natural. Maybe I should eat more of that...
Arsenic is natural.

I live in Bangladesh and you can buy raw milk quite easily here, especially if you live in a rural/sub urban area, but pasteurized milk is the way to go. Milk goes bad so easily during summer especially if you don't keep it correctly.
Yea we used to get raw milk probably everyday here in BD but we always heated it up and then drink it. I always wondered why we couldn't just drink the milk we got but its obviously for our safety.
I’m a dairy farmer in the UK and sell some raw milk through a vending machine on the farm,customers can watch the cows being milked from a viewing area ,see the cows in the barn in the winter & grazing in the fields in the summer,I’m organically certified and really enjoy the direct connection between myself the cows and the customers.
The farm is inspected by a government agency bi monthly and milk tested daily for any pathogens,it takes a lot of extra work to produce milk to this high standard and I wouldn’t trust a third party to sell it.
If you want to drink it then buy direct from the farmer and make sure they are producing to a recognised standard,if not then don’t risk your health or the reputation of those of us who are prepared to things properly.
I am also a farmer and I am so glad to see that someone else shared this info. Pasteurization can make almost any milk safe to drink. Raw milk on the other hand needs a skilled farmer you can trust. I consume raw milk but it is only from my personal family milk cow or a select few farms I know and trust personally. Even then there is still more risk but I like the taste.
Yeah. Pretty much what my friend in Canada says. Most of the issues comes from the cows themselves and their living conditions. Which is believable. Any mass produced raw milk is bound to not be good quality, and the cows probably aren't in good health or living conditions. I wouldn't trust it, buying it in the store. But, directly from a reputable farmer? Definitely seems safer.
I think a lot of people who buy it also don't store it properly.
@@STARPHASE I think all three of the above comments are exactly right (Hi, child of a pair of very small-time goat farmers here; I grew up on raw milk straight from our own goats and I've never had a problem). You've all made great points, so I don't feel the need to rehash them again. I do want to add to the storing it properly bit, though---for those who don't know, raw milk only lasts about a week in the fridge, which is not enough time to ship it any sort of distance and have it still be good long enough for it to sell off the shelves. I think shelf life is the best/primary reason to use pasteurization, because if the animals are treated and cared for well and the milk is handled carefully, then yeah, it might have some bacteria in it, but usually not enough to cause a problem. If you assume it will keep as long as pasteurized milk, though, that's where you run into trouble, because it just won't. Keep it cold, but drink it quick. Once it gets too old, throw it out. Feed it to your chickens or dump it around your fruit trees, if you have them. At least that way it won't go totally to waste. :)
I get sick if I have pasteurized milk. It weakens my immune system so then I get a cold or even the flu if I had too many pasteurized dairy products. It also kills my digestive system and gives me unpleasant side effects. Milk that has growth hormones also screws up my hormones.
I’ve been using raw milk since I was a kid. It doesn’t make me sick. In fact, if I get a stomach bug or something, one of the only things I can tolerate is to sip on raw milk. I get my milk products from a family farm that takes good care of their animals and doesn’t give them growth hormones or antibiotics.
@@kierielong975 I hope you continue to be lucky and don't kill yourself drinking unsafe milk.
I absolutely love how my page just showing me this, when i was at the doctor office a few days ago who said I no longer can tolerate dairy products anymore. 😀❤️🥰 🎉🎉 but this video definitely help not to cave in 👍
I grew up outside the US in a community that had direct access to raw milk. We literally had a milk man deliver milk his farm had squeezed fresh from his cows. Growing up we were taught to boil the milk for a couple minutes before consuming it because who knows what was in it and what it may have been contaminated with on the way to my home. Boiling the milk probably deteriorates the nutrients in the milk more than pasteurization but it’s safer to drink boiled milk than raw milk.
That is what pasteurisation is.
@@Tuotzie No, it's not. Read their comment again.
Milk boils at 210° pasteurization is only done at 160° so yes boiling would kill nutritional value
so, we developed technology to make something safer, and people are ignoring it, I mean, self solving problems tend to pop up sometimes. they will get sick, realize it was dumb, then lets be honest, we are a persistent species, they will do it again.
Nobody is worried about these white 30 somethings that are hopefully not showing up on the next census... society is worried about the children that die because they're being fed unpasteurized milk.
I see it as an extra trial step..to make sure it was worth it. Great thing is. Every time it comes back as something we did right
The important difference is that now, any village idiot has a loudspeaker to the world. And when you get a bunch of them together, you get flat earthers, antivaxxers, rawmilkers etc.
With how interconnected the world has become, it wouldn't be ludicrous to imagine an event like the pandemic, where a super bug is created by people licking cow assholes to be closer to nature, then getting everyone deadly sick.
Factor in some orange nitwits who disband the WHO and you get the plague.
This is just anti-vaxxers again.
Except they won't realize it; they'll think they're just not doing enough of it.
My mum was a vet and she brought often raw milk from the farms home. My three siblings and I knew we had to heat it up to boiling before we could drink it. If adults want to risk it fine but keep this rubbish away from kids.
thats the thing, a good part of these believers are parents who think giving their child raw milk is good for them 😬😬😬 misinformation isnt just dumb, it seriously endangers people

Man, now I can't even boil the water for my hot tea, since it will make the water less natural.
Water can cause asphyxiation in relatively small doses when used improperly. Also it rusts metal; what do you think it’s doing inside your body??? Just eat the tea so you get the full range of nutrition before it’s been rusted by water.
My mother died of comlications of bovine tuberculosis so it is a hard no for me. Pasteurization, vaccination, general higiénia is the way to go.
I'm romanian. Every summer break since I was 6 was at my grandparents. Every evening, we would stay in barn door to get an iron cup of fresh milk from one of my grandparents . But not always, in some days the rule was "we first make mamaliga (polenta) and boil the milk in what remains stuck(burned) on the walls of the pot used to make mamaliga. Funny thing, my grandparents were against sugar but always ad a pinch of salt to raw milk.
Sorry, 😂 I read it first time that you milked your grandparents. 😅
I’ve been drinking raw milk since I was a kid. We always get it from a local family farm. They don’t give their cows growth hormones or antibiotics.
I can’t drink pasteurized milk. It can give me a terrible upset stomach as well as weaken my immune system. I used to get the flu every holiday because I’d eat whatever I wanted. Once I cut back on the milk almost completely, I stopped getting sick. If I ever have stomach trouble and can’t tolerate much food or drink, I am able to sip on raw milk and that keeps my blood sugar from dropping.
This was a good video, I appreciate you not just crapping on raw milk and rather saying more research should be done. Good on you. Pasteurization is very important, but there will always be trade offs. Also...what is going on with all these Ground News sponsors??? GN sweeping YT right now
People don’t know pasteurization makes the nutrient less bioavailable, if you test the milk it might have the same level of nutrient but your body absorbs it less better than raw milk
Public health measures are really suffering from success. People are starting to think all children making it to adulthood is just how things always were, not something that took dozens of technological and societal factors to achieve. Would really like to not go back to a time when the best advice you could give to new parents was : don’t get too attached.

It’s amusing that people use terms like “organic” and “natural” when describing drinking the baby formula straight out of another mammal.
You should avoid consuming raw milk for the same reasons you avoid “raw” unfiltered water.
Its so stupid because humans naturally dont have to drink lactose after the toddler stage. That's why if you dont consume milk or dairy products, you can become lactose intolerant. And why in asian countries, they have large portions of lactose intolerance because their dailt diets usually dont have cheese or milk.
Or raw meat, or unwashed fruits vegetables

Killing harmful bacteria in the foods we eat is important. I grew up in a small village in the Caribbean, and we drank raw milk from time to time, but pasteurization in order to kill potentially harmful bacteria and organisms is definitely the way to go in my opinion. Everything is sensationalized these days, even when they really are not that complicated.
Could you please share us the links of the studies you found? I find it always reassuring to be able to read where the articles come from and what is the context of it.

7:29 Dr. Mike and editors, I just wanted to point out that this might not be the best imagery to put during this sentence and while pointing at it, as a baby that young should probably not even be eating anything other than breast milk, and people might get the idea that babies can drink regular or god forbid raw milk. It'd be different if it was a toddler, or just put a disclaimer somewhere.

The ability to trust experts (and the trustworthiness of the experts) is essential for society to function. Nobody can possibly know enough to make good decisions about everything in their life, that's why we specialize.

As a person who was raised on a small family farm, I would *never* drink commercially produced raw milk. From home? 100% it's so good. From a bottle in a grocery store? Absolutely no way. The risks presented in the supply chain are so numerous and it only takes one bad batch to cause serious harm. I wouldn't feed it to my animals, I wouldn't feed it to my family, I wouldn't let it in my house.
Thank you for this video Dr Mike. As a chef, this certainly reminds me of my old food safety classes in college.
I think there may be big difference between drinking milk immediately straight out of the cow, and packaging and shipping it and putting it on a shelf without pasteurizing
That's what I am saying. It seems like the issue is the transporting it long distance. The bacteria and stuff can have time to grow. I am reading alot of people who knew somebody or they always boiled their milk when they got home.
@@MsLisa1114 Boiling it is pasteurizing it. In fact, bringing it to a boil is getting it to a higher temperature then pasteurization does.
So, can we possibly attribute some of the health problems with "raw" milk from bad practices in collection and storage, not just lack of pasteurization?
There is a way, you just need to boil the milk and then keep it at a very cool temprature, this will make raw milk safe
And that is pasturisation
Yes that’s why here in Germany you can buy raw milk, but only directly from the farm. And there are safety protocols
Raw milk from a lab cow, milked by lab grade equipment. Sounds expensive.
I work at a goat dairy. On large scale farms, it’s simply impossible to prevent disease. There are so many animals and it spreads so fast. Raw milk from large scale farms will never be safe. However, my mom had goats growing up. Since her herd was small she was able to take great care of them, making sure the barn was always clean and culling any goats that had problems. I was raised on my mom’s raw goat milk and it’s helped me a lot. Nobody in my family or who has drank the milk has ever gotten sick.
If you choose to buy and consume raw milk, get it from small farms and not from the store. There’s a HUGE difference in how the animal care and business is conducted. There will always be a risk to drinking raw milk, but if you plan to do it then be sure to do it in the safest way possible.
Exactly this. I have been to many large dairies and I don't see healthy, thriving animals whose milk I'd want to drink, raw or not. But our own largely organically-fed, free-range animals - I will drink away happily and have done so for ages.

Yes
I want to add a thought about the farm study. My grandfather lived in an agricultural community, and was a farmer until he got too old for the job. For as long as I remember he got raw milk from his neighbors. But he never drank it raw, he pasteurized it himself, maybe not with all the chemicals, but I remember the huge pot of milk foaming away on the stove.
So yeah, maybe they add too many chemicals to milk, I don't know, not my field of study, but if you don't trust corporations, buy raw milk and pasteurize it yourselves, it can literally just be, boiling a pot of freaking milk.
There are no chemicals added to milk as part of the pasteurization process and most milk doesn't have added chemicals. Its literally just heating and cooling. I just looked at Walmarts selection of milk online and the only ingredients in each (cow milk, unflavored) were:
Milk
Added Vitamins
Lactase enzyme in the lactose free ones.
Unless you are afraid of extra vitamins, regular milk is safe. Lactose free if you aren't afraid of the enzyme and there is no way around that with raw milk.
Nut milks are different, but that discussion is different from the raw milk discussion since pasteurized milk doesn't have it.
To be very clear, the pasteurization process uses zero added chemicals. At a small scale, a container with milk is heated up to the specific temperature for a certain amount of time, and that's it. So exactly like using a pot on a stove top. At a larger industrial level (and to keep the explanation simple) the milk is pumped through heated plumbing to assure it reaches the desired temperature and time. That's it👍🏻
@@matthewluttrell9413 This!!!!
Chemicals weren't even mentioned, but the OP is but the chemicals.... SMH
Oh, thanks for the explanation
Pasteurisation typically doesn't involve the adding of any chemicals.
Why has this gained traction? Good question, it's because most people view farmers (like me) as country bumkins that raise 2 goats, 5 cows, 15 chickens, and farm 5 acres of every crop known to exist in the grocery store....oh....and wear bib overalls with no shirt, sit on a five gallon bucket, wear a straw hat and just wait for someone to come buy to discuss the weather. People are vastly separated from production agriculture and in larger part common sense. And...that is the problem.
10:52 I completely agree! I don’t know to risk illness but I’d love having an option to keep more of the healthy bacteria
Drink kefir
The irony for these "raw milk" advocates is thinking raw milk has less nutritional value than pasteurized milk. As for "good bacteria", yogurt and other fermented types of dairy offer WAY more nutrition and good bacteria than raw milk. If you're worried about that aspect literally just eat a good yogurt or make some yourself at home.
The big deal is legalities and marketing. The big deal breakers are salmonella and gastroenteritis. The benefit of shelf life. The benefit of not playing roulette with a pathogen.
Raw milk is great. I've drunken it and been fine. I've also had it and been so violently ill I wished I would die instead of having to regurgitate nothing for the next 6 hours after having done the same for the previous 6.
Pasteurised and homogenised is a good idea.
It's not done because it is unnecessary.
What you will find with cheeses made with said unpasteurised milks is that the cheeses themselves get Pasteurised or treated in some way to prevent said illnesses, and the use of them is to achieve particular subtleties in the cheeses that are made from it.
Not really... most cheese in Europe (particularly France) that is made with unpasteurized milk is not treated in any way, just that the milk that is used for those cheeses is vigorously tested and can only come from certain farms and the cows are vaccinated against certain pathogens
@LoFiAxolotl if french cows are so clean then why are a third of the salmonella outbreaks in France from raw milk/cheese??? It is a certainty that if you consume raw milk /raw milk products you will get sick.
I can't say anything about cheese (don't like it, don't care - yes, I got told it's very shocking)
But as someone from Europe, who grew up with many farms/ old farmers around, I'd say that I'd NEVER buy raw milk from a grocery store... When you are at a farm with healthy cows and you milk them, and drink the milk, yeah fine
But with the gigantic milk industry, parts with not 100% healthy cows and then the transport and storage of raw milk?!?!
It's not made for smth like that o_O
If cheese is made properly and carefully then it doesn't need pasteurization because the fermentation process of the good bacterial cultures happens so quickly that harmful ones like e.coli can't take hold and all of the sugars that they would eat are consumed.

I think this happened because nobody took time to explain that anti-biotics aren’t being used in the pasteurizing process. Fans of raw milk tend to believe that digestive problems related to milk consumption are caused by and correlated to anti-biotics degrading the integrity of our digestive systems.
My grandmother used to get raw milk from her cousin, who was a dairy farmer. He did not sell it to anyone. The milk was very sweet and had a thick layer of cream that had to be stirred.

@@robinsakofske9975 Did you boil the milk before drinking it? If you did, you just pasturised it
@@robinsakofske9975 I imagine the risks of drinking raw milk are a bit lower if you're getting it straight from a farmer (and cow) that you know and trust and live close to, as there'd be less time for any bacteria to multiply.
But just because it might be "less bad" doesn't make it a good idea. Also doesn't change the fact that pasteurization kills germs. And the evidence of "benefits" from raw milk is pretty slim while the evidence of risks from it is very strong.
I appreciate your honest opinion, and I agree with the statement that industrialization caused a huge influx in sickness because of it. This isn't because of raw milk itself but because farmers weren't taking the time to thoroughly clean the machines, udders, pens, hands, etc. I use the share system and the farm we get it from does filter it to get out any impurities like dirt, and if there is any, what we'll call mud👀, found in it by the machines that they use they will refrain from giving people their shares. Its only happened twice out of the 4 years that we've been using them. Thank you for the good quality content!

When I became pregnant with my first baby- I developed severe gastrointestinal problems from commercial milk. When my son was born, he has serious adverse health reactions when I drank commercial milk and then breastfed him. As a result, we went years without milk at all in my home. When we moved to a country town for school, we were introduced to raw milk and discovered that my son could drink it without problems. We discovered with each child with our ebb and flow of availability of raw milk in the various places we’ve lived- that our children who had access to daily consumption of raw milk had strongest, whiter teeth and stronger bones than those children who went without based on our living situation. I never drank it because I had developed a distaste for milk by this time. Until recently. I drink raw milk every single day and I’ve discovered a vitality to my health that I have never experienced before. A strength that I never had. I do not work out formally but I’m stronger than most women I know, and even many men. I know this is from the milk. For my family- where we live, our political involvement in our community, and so much more is now in part determined by our access to this resource. My family of 6 children and 2 adults go through 6-8 gallons of raw milk every week at $10 a gallon. We have given up other things in our budget just to ensure our children have continued access to as much of this milk as they want. I agree with the video that it is important to look carefully into where you get your raw milk- how they treat and feed their cows, the precautions they take, etc. But we have never become ill from the raw milk so far as I can tell.
Even juices are pasteurized but when it comes to milk people get upset.

It's so interesting to see how people's political and societal beliefs and ideologies influence their choices about their health over actual life saving and disease preventing facts. I think raw milk is a minor thing for now but to think that the simple process of heating the milk (pasteurising) goes against your freedoms is bananas to me. Buy it raw, secretly boiling it at home?? 👀
They just ignore that pasteurizing is basically just boiling and cooling the milk.
