Hi,
Can you tell me more about this brucellosis? I never heard of it. I did hear of
a greater risk to catch TBC with raw milk. However, humanity has lived on raw
milk for thousands of years and I have seen many reports on how raw milk was
used especially in the diets of the most healthy peoples we know in history.
Sanitation and organic quality are definitely very important points with raw
milk, but I am not convinced the problems are caused by the rawness of the milk.
