Commitment to Microbial Benefit/Risk Analysis Sad to resign from RAWMI board, but deeply committed to MICROBIAL BENEFIT/RISK ANALYSIS !

Milk microbiota is amazing! Yet their benefits and risks are rarely considered objectively. Raw Milk Institute is supporting statistical studies that challenge many myths about raw milk. Clearly NOT inherently dangerous. Please share and support our work.

THINK AHEAD AND DRINK AHEAD! Drug resistant super bugs generally attack those with weakened immune systems. We must ask ourselves, what is a strong immune system? 85% of the functioning immune system is made up of the biodiversity of bacteria that live in our gut.

How we do we get and keep a biodiversity of bacteria in our gut? Eat whole unprocessed foods that feed those colonies of bacteria. Raw milk is a great example. It is the first food of life and contains:
-the food to feed beneficial bacteria plus other protective proteins, enzymes and systems (which would be destroyed by pasteurization)
-a biodiversity of beneficial bacteria

When babies are born, their immune system and gut are ready to be colonized. They rely on bacteria from the mother (ingested during birth) and raw milk from mom to build their immune system. This is one of the first big tasks in early life. Without a functioning immune system, illness and far worse comes fast. That’s the role of breast feeding and raw milk!

Later in life, raw milk can do the very same thing for all ages. In the face of superbugs that are resistant to treatment…prevention is the major pathway to protect yourself. That means building a strong immune system!

So think ahead and drink ahead. Don’t be in the numbers when the next outbreak news is announced. Raw milk and whole foods nourish the immune system.

When illness strikes…it’s a little late to build immunity. Think ahead….drink ahead.

The Integration of Omics in Microbiological Risk Assessment #

First blog of 2019!

Awesome to Serve on RAWMI Board and SRA Dose-Response Specialty Group Wondering what was up that I had not posted a single blog last month? Good news about stimulating work and pro-bono service!

Pasteurized milk is riskier than raw milk? Why?

Microbial ecology is the answer! Hanna Castro and colleagues demonstrated (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28850852) that depleting the milk microbiota by pasteurizing causes low levels of Listeria monocytogenes to grow FASTER at both temperatures tested than in raw milk with its microbiota intact.

Yet another scientific study demonstrating benefits of raw milk, suppressing growth of pathogens.

Want to support documentation of benefits and risk for raw milk? Donate to the SRA Whole Truth, Whole Milk Campaign today, and share this information with others. Click here:

Still hungry to learn more about raw milk benefits? Check out some recent evidence for colonization resistance, protection against pathogens by natural bacteria (commensals) of healthy microbiota.

You'll find more than 500 hits for 'colonization resistance" on PubMed, including this awesome paper from Eric Pamer's lab describing at least 6 mechanisms for protection, 3 direct and 3 indirect.

Immunologist Rod Dietert and I continued planning yesterday for the manuscript we’ll prepare on the microbiota of milks after the SRA Whole Truth, Whole Milk Campaign (https://goget.fund/2zYew4a) ends next month.

Please follow this campaign, share this post with your network, and support us at any level. Your contributions will ensure that the message based on 21st century science gets out to consumers, legislators, and regulators of breastmilk banks and licensed dairies around the world: raw milk is not inherently dangerous.

Related to our work, Rod spoke at the National Academy of Science about dogmas from 20th century science that need to disappear. One is that the target of risk assessments for human health is the mammal Homo sapiens. Rather, risk assessments in the 21st century must consider the human superorganism complete with microbiota, our partners in health, and the microbiota of foods needed to replenish and balance our gut microbiota.

Another dogma we spoke of, that milk is 'almost sterile', denies scientific evidence that unpasteurized milks from humans and cows contain natural microbiota that are dense, diverse, and beneficial to health. I laughed at his description of pasteurized milks as microbial wastelands!

Thank you for your support.
