Got Milk?

I woke up this morning to a text message from my good friend Mrs. Oliver up in Cleveland Ohio, demanding kindly requesting that I tell her what milk she (or her husband - nothing can be sure with this gal) should be drinking. Before I could even respond, I received another message, letting me know that I was to answer this question for her via the blog... so here, Mrs. Oliver.... is your answer...
Raw, Whole Milk.

And here is why...

• raw, milk is not pasteurized (pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamins C, B12 and B6 and kills beneficial bacteria)
• raw, milk comes from cows who are fed grass, hay and root vegetables... aka REAL FOOD
• cows that are fed commercial feed, produce milk that lacks vitamin A, vitamin D and certain catalysts found in vitamin K
• raw, milk contains no additives
• please note - organic milk doesn't always mean raw milk

Alright, so now that I've convinced you to stay away from pasteurized milk.... here's my chance to convert all you skim milk drinkers...

• our bodies cannot digest the proteins OR absorb the calcium without the fat
• same goes for our fat-soluble friends Vitamin A and D.... no fat means no vitamin absorption
• the saturated fat found in whole milk actually helps raise our good cholesterol levels
• Whole milk is a whole food.... meaning, it's nutrients haven't been stripped 
• Milk fat contains glycosphingolipids - which are types of fats linked to immune system health and cell metabolism

 To further convince you...

• soy milk is often full of sugar and has crazy amounts of estrogen 
• commercial skim milk is cheaper, as it should be - you're not getting or absorbing any of the nutrients!
• don't like the thickness? add some water to it... problem solved. 

Does that answer your question Mrs. Oliver?!
