"I am all grateful for the opening question that (Gazette writer) Teresa has presented here! Again: 'What would Louis Pasteur do?' Firstly, Louis Pasteur did not develop what became known as the pasteurization process with milk in mind! According to Mark McAfee, founder of Organic Pastures Dairy in California, Pasteur developed his process for killing off yeast in alcoholic beverages. Later his process was adopted to deal (in a very poor way) with milk that was degraded in "distillery dairies" where the cows diet consisted of distillery waste rather than their natural pasture-fed diet. Of course it was this awful diseased milk plus the poor sanitation at that time that caused wide spread deadly sickness. If we want the whole picture on why the commercial dairies pasteurize then we need to look at the history including the inception of milk pasteurization and folks, it is not a pretty picture in a number of ways! Although pasteurization eventually did make a difference back then it absolutely does not guarantee milk health! Milk health must be built upon proper animal nourishment and for cows that means grass and preferably the "salad-bar" that is available in the pasture. Cows were never meant to be grain-feeders by nature.
Pasteurization is used as a band-aid to cover for the poorer quality milk (from hormone-inflated grain-feeders) that easily slips into the collective milk mix. This is a dramatic contrast to pasture-fed dairies that produce milk intended for human consumption.
The fact & fiction on this is presented in an informative conversation between Dr. Dale Jacobson, DC and Mark McAfee that is now available on DVD. For more information contact: "
