But they don’t believe in pasteurized milk!
I have had this conversation with parents that give their children unpasteurized milk. They can be very hard to convince when they have already made up their minds.
when i was at high school i was going to gym regularly and did find local raw milk (woman with few goats), she did sell me 1,5L of raw goat milk for 2 years and I was healthiest ever in my life (now 30), Im naturalry very thin and tall and sick, but that was time when I was full, energetic and muscular (cant even return to that muscle level no more, tho tried a bunch of diets from vegan to carnivor, nothin worked and interestingly now cant drink any branded milk because of bloating)
You can’t fix stupid, or maga cult brain washing. That’s why NO DEAL TACO Donnie loves the uneducated.
@@newwonderer I have to wonder, have you tried any branded goat milks though? Goat milk is known to have less lactose, and more whey than casein (whey is easier to digest) compared to cow; many people turn to goat milk when cow’s milk is intolerable to them, so it’s not that surprising that you would tolerate -any- goats milk over cow’s milk at the store. Going only off your comment, it sounds like you’re lactose intolerant, which you can develop at any age as you get older, and can worsen.
I’m going to go out on a limb though and suggest that this one local’s magic goat milk from your youth is not what made you healthy, and probably you should talk to a doctor about your sickliness.
Any more than zero is too much
3 drops of pus really sounds negligible. I don’t drink cows’ milk since a very young age already – even before making the connection that it’s meant for baby cows… But I feel the hormones (IGF-1 and estrogen) that lead to cancer have a higher risk and gross-out factor, as well as the risk of heart disease (from saturated fat and casein), as well as the antibiotics and the risk of global resistance, as well as other additives and contaminents should all be more focussed on. Pus is a good easy one to pull others in to watch and make people aware with though!
I am glad you mentioned the animal suffering. Too many farmers think they are animal friends, when infact all they do is exploit. I wonder if there is good research into stress and how it may affect milk? Cortisol overload? Cows are extremely emotional creatures…
Animal milk is so disgusting. I drank way too much cow milk as a kid, but when i moved to a new city, the milk there tasted and smelled revolting. It had taken on the smell of a feed lot and kind of tasted like one, too. But that experience really connected the suffering of cows with animal products in the grocery store. No thanks. I don’t want want to eat that, nor do I want to cause such terrible suffering.
I used to live next to a dairy and yes there is pus in milk ,but there is a limit to how much it contains.
I don’t like milk. I haven’t drunk milk in years. Once I tasted soy milk on cereal I was hooked! So good, and it’s delicious in coffee…love soy lattes.
My soy milk curdles in coffee. How do you prevent that? Is it a particular brand that works? Would love to know please and thank you.
Drunk ? lmao
@@kittykat717probably because coffee is acid. Try adding something alkaline before adding milk.
What would you suggest that is alkaline? @@Yoggoth
@@kittykat717a pinch of baking soda
yummy
It’s funny to me that so many people are disgusted with the idea of drinking milk but loooooooove cheese.
Because the germs are gone after processing and it’s tastier
I drink milk simply for the calcium and liquid proteins, there is no substitute to the calcium of milk
now i want to throw up. soy milk for me.
Thanks for the AI translation. It would be great if all the important videos could be translated into different languages.
I had to slow down the speech output. Now I can recommend all the videos because everyone can understand them.
A2 milk
Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla (“artificial milk”). I buy the half-gallon size and use a little bit in my morning oatmeal. It lasts a long time in the fridge. I haven’t used “real” milk for decades and I like this almond milk more than the soy milk I used to buy.
I like using soy in meals except it’s not nice to drink. Almond Breeze milk is so good to drink.
Not gonna lie, I love the taste of whole milk but it’s not good for you. So I abstain.
Remember those milk commercials.. ‘Got Poop’?
Does it matter if the milk is organic or not?
Thank you!
Yoguurt tho ??
yum !
