“…They report that pasteurization results in a partial or total loss of immune and bioactive milk components Montjaux-Regis et al (2011) A study on feeding preterm infants compared raw and pasteurized human milk. They found that mother's own raw milk improved weight gain better than donor milk that was pasteurized Loss et al (2011) A study investigated the effect of farm milk on asthma and atopy. Results of this large epidemiologic study found that drinking 'unboiled farm milk was consistently inversely associated with asthma, hay fever, and atopy in both exclusive and mixed farm milk drinkers.'…”

Securing fresh food from fertile soil, challenges to the organic and raw milk movements

In recent decades, a diverse community of dairy farmers, consumers and nutrition advocates has campaigned amidst considerable government opposition, to secure and expand the right of individuals to produce, sell and consume fresh unprocessed milk, commonly referred to as ‘raw milk’. This advocacy shares important parallels with battles fought in the organic food movement over the past century. Both the raw milk and organic food movements originated with farmers and consumers who sought to replace industrialized food production and processing practices with more traditional ones. Both movements equate the preservation of natural integrity in farming and food handling with more wholesome, nutritious food and environmental conservation. Both movements have had to work diligently to overcome a false perception that their practices are anachronistic, notably with regard to productive output of organic agriculture and the safety of fresh unprocessed milk. There is also the failure of opponents to acknowledge a growing body of scientific evidence for health benefits associated with drinking of fresh unprocessed milk. The raw milk movement has the potential to economically benefit family farmers, much as organic agriculture has done. Building soil fertility, a foundational principle of organic farming, would benefit from having numerous small pasture-based dairies spread across the land providing fresh unprocessed milk. Agricultural universities and the Cooperative Extension System could seize a real leadership opportunity by promoting and participating in this reinvention of dairy farming, and restoring the ecology of this traditional food and farming system.

“…This suggests that ingested bacteria can participate in the prevention and/or treatment of emerging diseases. This hypothesis has been reinforced by recent epidemiological studies which show that raw milk prevents the onset of allergy and asthma in children (Loss et al, 2011;Waser et al, 2007;Braun-Fahrlander et al, 2011). The authors suggested a protective immunomodulatory role of raw milk bacteria .…”

“…A relationship between helminth infections and protection against hyperinflammatory disorders has also been established in various mouse models for food allergy (Nagler-Anderson 2006), asthma (Smits, Hammad et al 2007;Amu, Saunders et al 2010), T1D (Zaccone, Fehervari et al 2003;Liu, Sundar et al 2009), CIA (Osada, Shimizu et al 2009) and EAE (La Flamme, Ruddenklau et al 2003;Wilson, Taylor et al 2010). Furthermore, different cross-sectional studies show that children living in farming environments are protected from childhood asthma and atopy and this correlation has been attributed to contact with livestock (Ege, Frei et al 2007) and hay and the consumption of raw cow's milk (Douwes, Cheng et al 2008;Loss, Apprich et al 2011). In farming environments, both outdoor and indoor microbial exposure are higher and more diverse compared to nonfarming environments (von Mutius, Braun-Fahrlander et al 2000;Ege, Mayer et al 2011).…”
