If pesticides accumulate in milk fat I assume it is as a result of what the
cow is eating, how then does the factor of raw milk change this? I would
assume it would matter what the cow eats as oppose to the treatment of the
milk thereafter. My husband grew up drinking raw milk and we are seriously
thinking of getting a family cow in the next few years. So I found this
interesting. Beth
