A clearer picture is found in http://www.raw-milk-facts.com/tuberculosis.html and also in http://www.westonaprice.org/farm-a-ranch/risk-of-bovine-tb-from-raw-milk-consumption. Also the best reference on raw milk is Dr. Ron Schmid's book, The Untold Story of Milk.<br />They are rather long articles but worthy of a read. In the past there was a belief that raw milk could have been a source of some TB infections. Later research indicates that that belief was unjustified and that the sources of infection were unclear with many other factors in play. It is now thought that TB infection from raw milk is highly unlikely for many reasons and especially now that transmission is better understood.<br /><br /> It is important to know, understand and trust your sources of food and that includes raw milk.JohnandJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506275036086045557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648577586482081934.post-57405809797725974052014-03-06T14:12:56.917-08:002014-03-06T14:12:56.917-08:00I'm surprised that, as a country person who is...I'm surprised that, as a country person who is interested in food production, you don't know why milk is pasteurised. <br />If you do a google search or just a bit of reading on the history of TB, you will find out why milk began to be pasteurised. Even in our current times, many migrants from the UK who are still alive and just reaching pension age will show TB scarring on X-rays. They may never have been diagnosed with active TB but the scars will show because the TB bacillus has infected them.<br />TB in milk is still considered a problem in the UK because pasteurisation is not mandatory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1648577586482081934.post-51913925148140757622014-03-05T18:17:08.183-08:002014-03-05T18:17:08.183-08:00It created a processed milk industry and now we ar...It created a processed milk industry and now we are paying for the privilege in more ways than one!
