WHY REAL RAW MILK


Back in the 1970s, a couple of blokes were sitting in an English pub, bemoaning the consolidation of the brewing industry in England and the decline of British beer and ale. A commodity that represented the soul of Britain carefully brewed lagers from countless small-scale manufacturers, each with a distinctive color and taste had been edged out by the insipid canned beers of a few large monopolistic breweries. What was needed, they decided, was a return to traditional brewing methods. They launched A Campaign for Real Ale, which soon became the force that turned back the mega-brewers and reinstated varied and delicious ales to English tables and pubs.


Back in the 20s, Americans could buy fresh raw whole milk, real clabber and buttermilk, luscious naturally yellow butter, fresh farm cheeses and cream in various colors and thicknesses. Today's milk is accused of causing everything from allergies to heart disease to cancer, but when Americans could buy Real Milk, these diseases were rare. In fact, a supply of high quality dairy products was considered vital to American security and the economic well being of the nation.
What's needed today is a return to humane, non-toxic, pasture-based dairying and small-scale traditional processing, in short . . .

Books
Enzyme Nutrition, Edward Howell, MD: Pioneering work on the role of food enzymes in diet and health. Reveals the dangers of diets composed entirely of cooked foods and problems posed by pasteurization of dairy products.
The Raw Truth About Milk (formerly The Milk Book), William Campbell Douglass II, MD: Excellent explanation of the dangers of pasteurization, written in a highly amusing style. Where to get it: Rhino Publishing, the Republic of Panama, http://www.rhinopublish.com/. The book is printed in the U.S. so there are no ordering problems. The new edition, revised and expanded by two chapters is titled The Raw Truth About Milk. The original Milk Book sold over a million copies and, with the new chapters, it is better than ever. Do not order The Milk Book as you will not get the important new chapters on how vegetarianism often leads to anorexia and the consumption of soy "foods" causes serious health problems.
Nourishing Traditions: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats, Sally Fallon with Pat Connolly and Mary G Enig, PhD: Full spectrum nutritional cookbook that dispels many myths about animal fats and traditional foods.
Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, Weston A Price, DDS: The classic study of isolated populations on native diets, and the disastrous effects of processed foods and commercial farming methods on human health. Published in 1939, Dr. Price's findings have as much relevance today as they did 60 years ago. All who plan to bear children, and everyone in the practice of medicine, should read this book, which is now available in affordable soft cover.
The Ploy of Soy: A Debate on Modern Soy Products, Sally Fallon and Mary Enig, PhD: An exposé on the dangers of modern soy products, often promoted as "better than milk."
