Can anybody tell me what happens to milk when it is pasteurised. I buy organic milk, but it is still pasteurised. Here in the UK I cannot get raw milk unless I drive 250 miles to the nearest farm that produces it. Here it is illegal to sell raw milk in the shops and the only way to get it is direct from the farm. No chance.
What does pasteurisation do to milk and what does it destroy? Thanks.

While pasteurization kills enzymes and some bacteria, pasteurization does not kill mycobacterium paratuberculosis (MAP) a possible cause of bowel disease, including Crohn's Disease.

So it must be in raw milk too?

Don't see the connection.

Hi, Ultimate.
Only if the cow has TB and all milk producing herds are required to be tested regularly.

Ultimate,
Pasteurization alters many things in milk. I was born and raised on a large dairy farm in Ohio. I was the oldest of 7 children. We all drank milk from the tank before it was either pasteurized or homogenized. You have not tasted milk till you taste that. This was true of our entire family back at least 2 generations and none of us had any problem!
Now they routinely have "ultra pasteurization". This "milk" can sit on the shelf, unrefrigerated, for months and will not spoil. Apparently no self-respecting bacteria or fungus will go near it since it no longer can support life in the simpler species. It will take 40 years of people eating this ersatz "dairy" product before we know what kind of problems it will cause.
Hope this helps.
Walt

A great post Walt.
My mum, before she died last year, used to tell me stories of when she was a youngster. Her mother had to leave a large jug on the doorstep each day. The milk was delivered but you needed your own container for it to be poured into and it was delivered in a churn straight from the cow! My mum called it "cow juice". She said the best food in the world.
The problem is Walt, surely would it not be dangerous drinking raw milk from the type of cows that are reared now. Unless organic, they are fed on grain and stuff and God knows what else. They are pumped with antibiotics and growth hormones too. Would this not put you off raw milk today?
Regards,
Maz

Thanks, Maz.
There certainly are many reasons for avoiding dairy today.
There still are conscientious producers that avoid all that crap but the lawyers have made it very difficult to find them. I have, reluctantly, resolved this by avoiding dairy completely. My father would roll over in his grave!

Organic merely means that the feed is organic and doesn't specify what kind it is. Organically produced milk is very often from cows fed grains.
