In reply to danaleck. Well you can have the most *impressive* resume and credentials, but if you're selectively omitting data because it doesn't favor your thesis (and in fact, may disprove it), all credibility goes out the window. "He is the Jacob Gould..." BLAH BLAH BLAH. Plus, it's the Age of Information - you don't need stuffy titles from an Ivy League school to be well-educated or well-respected in your field. As for your other link - of course I will. Pasteurization became necessary as a result of factory farming (dirty, deplorable conditions in which to raise animals). And because still today most milk comes from CAFOs, it MUST be pasteurized. It could never be sold raw, the risk of contamination would be too great. But this is not the case for small-scale farmers who produce raw milk. Most of them take great pride in their animal husbandry practices - their animals are allowed to pasture and are grass-fed, not pumped full of antibiotics, fed grains they are not designed to digest, or crammed in small spaces with feces up to their knees. While there may be occasional contamination incidents (Murphy's Law), they are certainly much more rare than FDA recalls on the "safe" foods that are "legal" to consume (if you want some laughs: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/). And Forks Over Knives - LOL! They're still regurgitating that whole "saturated fat is unhealthy" BS? Groupthink is so sad...
