Some Cows Can Now Make Skim Milk

While the milk from these "skim cows" would be perfect for carb nutritional types who thrive on low-fat diets, they would be terrible for protein types, who would do best eating the higher-fat cream. It's important to remember that fats are not always the enemy, and that you actually need a certain amount of healthy fat in your diet to survive and thrive.

Of course, in my opinion the only way that anyone should be drinking milk at all is if it's raw, and these new commercial breeds will almost assuredly be producing milk that will be pasteurized.

Once you heat milk to pasteurize it there is serious damage that is done to the fragile milk proteins -- damage that actually causes milk to function as a potent allergen. That is one of the main reasons why milk is the most common allergy. Additionally, the pasteurization process virtually eliminates the good bacteria normally present in the milk and radically reduces the micronutrient and vitamin content of this healthy food.

As always, your best bet for finding truly healthy milk is to locate a dairy farmer who produces raw milk near you. And remember, it's not necessary to waste your money on pasteurized organic milk either -- it's still inferior to the raw variety, in taste and in value to your health.

If you live in California or many places in Europe, Central or South America this will not be a problem. But if you live in the US you will likely struggle to find this health food.  You could try the web site http://realmilk.com/
