FDA Tries to Crack Down on Raw Milk

Posted By Dr. Mercola | June 16 2008 | 1439 views

Government health officials, law enforcement agencies, and the FDA have begun a crackdown on raw milk, stepping up efforts to keep unpasteurized milk out of reach.

Twenty-two U.S. states prohibit sales of raw milk for human consumption, and the rest allow it within their borders. The FDA bans cross-border sales.

Devotees of raw milk argue that it is healthier, and that the heat used in pasteurization kills natural proteins and enzymes.
