#53 – Raw Milk: Our Ancestral Heritage

Have you wondered if raw milk is truly safe? Why did we start pasteurizing it in the first place? Have our ancestors always drunk milk? What is the fermentation all about, and is it really necessary? In this episode, we will share some of what we have learned about raw milk over the past ten years. We will share some of the shocking history of the industrialization of milk, and we will also share why raw, living, un-tampered-with milk is considered a “perfect food”. You will walk from this super excited about drinking raw milk, and you’re probably going to want to buy a cow.
