as children, we always drank unpasteurized milk. It's not that bad. The cows just have to be tested for Tuberculosis on a regular basis. My guess is, they have to lable the bottles just to not get sued.
Tamee, this was over 50 years ago in a tiny farm town. I really doubt that they do this anymore. It was regular everyday cow's milk, it's just that the town's pediatrician was afraid of something from the pasteurization process "contaminating" the milk & making it undigestible for newborn babies? I'm afraid that's all I really know about it, but like I said this was half a century ago. I figure it's a bit like blood-letting... the doctor was trying to do the best he could, given the medical knowledge available to him at the time. Maybe it wasn't the best idea, but it was the best he was capable of back then. love, mom
funny, blood letting is actually back in fashion now for pple with high iron levels. they're encouraged to donate blood bc their extra iron can make them 'rust'/oxidize from the inside out and re meat based formula: i've got a couple of recipes saved on my machine a la sally fallon of nourishing traditions. i'd much rather feed a baby pureed free range organic liver than anti-nutrient-rich soy anyday if there was no way on earth that i could get breastmilk into the baby. but that's just me. here's a linky if anyone wants to check it out http://www.newtrendspublishing.com/PDFS/K1Babies2004.pdf
oh I didn't realize that it was just unpasteurized milk. I must have skipped over that part. I'd drink unpasteurized milk. My grandpa said he used to and my boyfriend used to own a cow they'd drink milk from. Grandpa said in paseurizing milk, they were trying to get rid of bad bacteria, but in the process they got rid of the good bacteria, too, concluding to make milk just "a white drink". that's why he doesn't drink milk, aside from many other things.
I was told not to eat peanuts beacause my mother has a sever allergy to them. I think its safe to eat them but not a lot unless your family has a history of an allergy to them.
Wow, a recipie for meat based formula. Who'd a thunk it? I didn't realize they still existed. But, I think I did see one in a booklet I bought in a Vintage Store, from the Depression Era. I didn't look at the recipie yet. How long does it keep? I am sure it tastes and smells better than the store bought kind. Not really what a veg*n parent would want, but probably OK for some kids.
