As long as the animals are healthy and the milk is treated properly there is no danger. Raw milk is also healthier and tastier.<br />Once I got listeria from a pasteurized milk soft commercial cheese (vaccum packed) from the supermarket, I was living in London. Yet I never got sick from unpasteurized cheese, even the ones bought over the counters in dairies.Alessandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12616072198034545392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-68677280151182085302012-02-28T17:12:23.768-08:002012-02-28T17:12:23.768-08:00Oh how cool.

I come from a family of scientists, have many scientist friends, and everyone would tell you that there is no direct correlation between those miscarriages and raw milk cheese. Or that the gentleman demonstrated how to make butter from raw milk is to blame for kids getting sick. Unless every single step of those people was traced to the second, there's no direct evidence to blame the raw milk for that. They could have a dirty hands long before they had cheese or butter.<br />Another issue is that everyone here is so afraid of germs, sanitizes everything, ultra pasteurizes everything, that our bodies loose its immune defense against harmful bacteria. <br />And in defense of raw milk, I buy it from a person, not from the store. I go to her farm, I see those cute goats. And I need to tell that Ginger's milking station is perfectly clean, much cleaner than some people's kitchens, believe me as a social worker I've seen a lot of people's houses.<br />And I believe that in free country we should have a choice how to eat out food: raw or not.Marinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05573855440431259324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7633259752771480782.post-32336901876440867012012-02-28T12:32:27.743-08:002012-02-28T12:32:27.743-08:00Oh the chevre sounds absolutely perfect!

A few years ago several local young mothers miscarried after eating cheese made with unpasteurized milk. They lost their unborn babies. This happened in the county in which I live.<br />Also a school in eastern NC had a big outbreak of E. coli when a gentleman demonstrated how one can made butter out of milk. He used unpasteurized milk and spread the butter on crackers for the school children. Many got very sick, some ended up in the hospital when their organs started shutting down. <br />I hope this information helps explain why health departments encourage people to use pasteurized milk.Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12527472166860525332noreply@blogger.com
