All I know is that Luis Pasteur was a very well liked man in high society and started spouting off this germ theory and every body bought it even though there were others that disagreed. Since that time we have been obsessed with killing germs and eventually the pharmacutical industry came about, the worst thing that ever happened to humanity. Pasteur said on his death bed that the other scientists were correct and he was wrong, "the germ is nothing, the terrain is everything". People have been using raw milk for thousands of years and now all of a sudden its dangerous? When people started cleaning up the water and sewage it gave the germ theory a big boost and idiots were thinking it was because they boiled the milk. Not so it was the sanitation and the water that eliminated much disease. Boiled milk is dead milk and not good for the body, therefore I avoid it as well as all wheat and Genetically-Modified-Organisms garbage. Modern American wheat is another story.
