Now that we know why commercial skim milk is soooo bad, let's
discover why real, raw milk from grass-fed cows (and goats) is soooo
good!
-Cows eat their natural diet of nutrient-dense grasses instead of
grains, thus living healthier lives and producing richer, healthier milk
-They have not been given antibiotics, steroids or hormones.
-They live a natural life, raised on pasture, not on a crowded factory farm.
-The milk is WHOLE; it hasn't been pasteurized or homogenized.
-Milk is a Biblically endorsed whole food; it's been consumed for centuries in its real form for thousands of years by virtually every culture.
-Real milk has LACTASE, which is the enzyme that breaks down
lactose. Many lactose-intolerant people do just fine when drinking raw
milk. In fact, over 80% of people in a Michigan study were able to
perfectly tolerate raw milk, after being advised by their healthcare
professional that they were "lactose intolerant"!
-It's loaded with beneficial enzymes and probiotics, both of which help you digest milk and utilize its full nutrient potential.
-It's full of fat-soluble vitamins A and D, healthy fats, and vital minerals like Calcium. Your
body can properly absorb these nutrients because of the original
chemistry of real milk. (Example: milk fat aids your body in digesting
and using vitamins A and D, as well as Calcium.)
-Raw milk is safe. Modern stainless steel tanks and refrigerated trucks have made any concerns of contamination obsolete.
REAL MILK does the body REALLY GOOD.
For an amazing support to your digestive and immune system, as well as your bones and overall health, drink real milk.
How to find it:
It's hard to find in stores. Only a few states currently allow the sale of raw milk in supermarkets.
