Raw Milk Help To Cure Heals Skin, Allergies and Immunity ?
If you’ve been told that drinking raw milk is dangerous, you’ll be surprised to know that you’ve been mislead. The truth about raw milk? An extensive look into research and claims made by the FDA and CDC related to raw milk being dangerous have be found to be completely unwarranted. It actually benefits your body in many ways, and although it might have earned a reputation among some for being dangerous, you shouldn’t miss out on all this amazing superfood has to offer.
What is “raw milk” exactly? It’s milk that comes from grass-fed cows, is unpasteurized and homogenized. This means raw milk contains all of its natural enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals− making it what many refer to as a “complete food”.
But can’t raw milk cause problems due to the risk of consuming bacteria? The risk of this happening is very, very low. In fact, according to medical researcher Dr. Ted Beals, MD, you are 35,000 times more likely to get sick from other foods than you are from raw milk! The CDC reports that there an estimated 48 million food borne illnesses are diagnosed each year. Of these 48 million illnesses, only about 42 (about 0.0005 percent!) each year are due to consumption of fresh, unprocessed (raw) milk.
As you can see, most accusations and concerns over raw milk have been overstated, and therefore its heath benefits remain underrated. Raw milk benefits are numerous and can help address a large number of nutritional deficiencies that millions of people, especially those eating the Standard American Diet (SAD), are currently experiencing.
Raw Milk Nutrition Facts
Raw milk is truly one of the most nutrient-dense foods in the world and has a nutritional profile unlike any other food. I understand if you’ve been cautious in the past about drinking raw milk because of all the negative media it might have earned, but I’m sure you’ll change your mind once you learn why more and more people are drinking raw milk everyday. Some of the main reasons that over 10 million Americans now drink raw milk on a regular basis include:
- Healthier skin, hair and nails
- Nutrient absorption
- Stronger immune system
- Reduced allergies
- Increased bone density
- Neurological support
- Weight loss
- Help building lean muscle mass
- Better digestion
What exactly makes raw milk such an incredible super food? Let’s take a look at it’s unique nutritional profile and it will become clear.
Nutritional Profile Of Raw Milk:
Fat Soluble Vitamins A, D, and K2 – Because raw milk comes from cows or goats grazing on grass, research studies have shown that it contains a higher level of heart healthy, cancer killing, fat-soluble vitamins than milk which comes from factory-farm raised cows. Studies have shown that one of the most common deficiencies in children is a lack of fat soluble vitamins. These vitamins support the brain and nervous system and are crucial for development, focus and brain function. Fat soluble vitamins also support bone density and help naturally balance hormones, however they are significantly decreased following pasteurization.
Short Chain Fatty Acids, CLA and Omega-3’s – In addition to being high in anti-inflammatory Omega-3 fatty acids, raw milk from grass-fed animals is a rich source of butyrate, a short chain fatty acid that is widely known to control health issues related to inflammation, slow metabolism and stress resistance. In fact, researchers in Japan conducted a study on mice that suggests that butyrate can be used to treat inflammatory bowel diseases such as Crohn’s disease. Additionally raw grass-fed milk is packed with CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), which according to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Cancer has been tied to cancer prevention, healthier cholesterol levels and can even help reduce body fat.

Essential Minerals & Electrolytes:
Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium – Raw milk is one of the highest sources of minerals and electrolytes, which many people don’t get enough of. Unfortunately a significant percentage of these minerals are lost during high-heat pasteurization.
Whey Protein and Immunoglobulins – By far, the best tasting curds and whey protein come from raw milk. Whey protein is fantastic for anyone who is looking to burn fat and build or retain lean muscle. Whey is high in the following enzymes and proteins (amino acids), and the best way to get these immunity boosters is in their natural form:
Alpha-lactalbumin, Beta-lactoglobulin, Bovine serum albumin and Immunoglobulin.
Probiotics:
Kefir, Cheese, Yogurt – Probiotics are only found in small amounts in raw milk, but when you ferment raw milk to make foods like kefir, yogurt or cheese the good bacteria dramatically increase. In fact, there are no other foods in the world as naturally high in probiotics as cultured dairy products.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to raw milk’s benefits. One thing to clear up here is that raw milk doesn’t just come from cows. Researchers have carried out comparative studies on the properties of goats’ milk compared to those of cows’ milk and have found reason to believe that goats’ milk can help prevent diseases such as anemia and bone demineralization, sometimes better than cows milk can. Goats’ milk has been linked with special benefits for digestive and metabolic utilization of minerals such as iron, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium.
