I read this post and smiled, seeing how dear hubby and I are dairy farmers... all that you have posted is so true. We do not use the hormones, and it seems that our bovines are healthier and 'longer' lasting. I noted this one remark in particular:
>>>Homogenized cows’ milk prevents cream from floating to the top. If raw milk is ingested, the enzyme xanthine oxidase is digested in the stomach. If the milk has been homogenized, fat globules from the cream encase the enzyme, which can pass undigested into the blood, attaching to artery walls and becoming abrasive. The body repairs these abrasions with cholesterol. The xanthine oxidase enzyme is a significant cause of heart disease in the United States.

anyway, that explains why, 'when' I do drink our milk or make butter, or ice cream I have no burping or other problems. pam
