Raw Milk

Do farms not need a licence to sell raw milk ? I know they do here in the uk.

There are relatively few dairy farms that sell raw milk to the public and they have to be registered with the Dept of Agriculture as raw milk producers.

As to what you'd do with raw milk—you'd drink it!

At the end of the day milk designed for babies to grow quickly and sustain life challenges and is not healthy enough for adults.

For example, some milk proteins on adults destroy the pancreas in a so-called autoimmune reaction, producing diabetes in people whose genetic makeup leaves them vulnerable.

Did you quote me by mistake?

Not sure what you're agreeing with. I was wondering why you were sharing your nutritional insights in response to my post. I'm confident this is a wind up but I'll bite none the less, There are numerous long term benefits.

I suppose you wouldn't consider a source of vitamins and nutrients a long term benefit? No? Fair enough

Apologies for dragging this off topic OP! Hope you get sorted

I have not.

Everything I post checked against science. Perhaps you should Google facts before complaining.

Actually drink milk myself and I think milk excellent food source for kids and skinny starving to dead people.

But there are many things we do not know about milk yet and data already troublesome and here what we have, links to research data at the bottom.

Milk contain beta-lactoglobulin, a protein in cow’s, but not human, milk prompts babies to make antibodies that also attack glycodelin, a protein vital for training the immune system. The mistuned immune system then mistakenly destroys insulin-producing pancreatic cells...

Milk is full of hormones...

Estrogen.

...study found that the female sex hormones significantly increased while the male sex hormones decreased in men following the consumption of cow's milk. Estrogen levels increased significantly in all participants — men, women and children...

High estrogen levels can cause symptoms such as irregular or heavy periods, weight gain, fatigue, and fibroids in females. In males, they can cause breast tissue growth, difficulty getting or maintaining an erection, and infertility....

...The link between cancer and dietary hormones – estrogen in particular – has been a source of great concern among scientists, said Ganmaa, but it has not been widely studied or discussed....

Prolactin

Too much prolactin also can prevent the release of an egg during the menstrual cycle (anovulation) in females. In males, too much prolactin also can lead to decreased sperm production. Bone loss (osteoporosis).

Insulin-like Growth Factor- 1 (IGF-1)

Suppose to be a good but in elderly... can cause acromegaly signs, symptoms and complications. In adults, a tumor is the most common cause of too much GH production: Pituitary tumors...

Prostaglandin

Complications. Too many or too few prostaglandins in the body can cause health complications. Known problems with too many prostaglandins include arthritis and menstrual cramping. Conditions that can result from too few prostaglandins include glaucoma and stomach ulcers.

Steroid Hormones; Glucocorticoids, 

---Androgens

Unhealthy androgen levels can also increase your risk of problems like diabetes.

---Progesterone

High progesterone levels are associated with family history of premature coronary artery disease in young healthy adult men.

Milk and milk products might be a risk factors for carcinogenesis...

...Some studies indicating that there is positive correlation between high consumption of milk and high incidence of prostate cancer...

According to recent scientific research , a glass of milk contains up to 20 various medicines, including painkillers, and even antibiotics.

antibiotic residues

It has been estimated that over 70% of antibiotic residues result from the use of lactating and dry cow intramammary antibiotics. Failure to discard the milk from treated cows for the recommended period is the principal cause of antibiotic residues in milk.... Antibiotics have an impact on the gut microbiota, causing rapid and diminished levels of bacterial diversity and increases and decreases in the relative abundances, leading to dysbiosis.

Rocking up to farm 3 times a week to collect a 3 litre of milk with all the time wasting, and risks of complaints while breaking Dept regulations? No I don't think many farmers would go for this.
