The cows that produce commercial milk are jam-packed together, standing in their own feces, and pumped with estrogens and other growth hormones. Due to these harsh conditions, the cows must also be treated with antibiotics. They are fed GMO grains treated with toxic chemical pesticides like glyphosate.
Pasteurized milk gets flash-heated to kill any bugs and parasites in it, however this also kills off all the beneficial bacteria and enzymes that would otherwise be good for our body.
Next the milk gets homogenized, where all the different sized proteins get broken down until they are all the same. These milk proteins don’t exist naturally, so when our body gets exposed to them it doesn’t know how to digest them. The caseins and lactose in milk build up and can eventually turn into an allergic reaction over time.
All of these toxins, antibiotics, hormone disruptors, and unnatural proteins make their way into our glass of milk driving inflammation and a whole host of other health problems.
Dr. McCollum’s advice is to drink raw milk whenever possible. You can also look into alternative milks such as goat milk. Again, raw milk is best since this preserves all the beneficial components of milk the way nature intended for us to drink it.
