The Raw Milk Answer Book: What You REALLY Need to Know About Our Most Controversial Food
Raw milk has become the world's most controversial food. Proponents portray it as a miracle health food. Opponents claim it is one of the most dangerous foods known to mankind--so inherently dangerous it can kill you. Obviously, both sides can't be correct.
The Raw Milk Answer Book probes more than 200 of the most tantalizing questions surrounding raw milk, in a refreshing conversational style. Among the questions it raises: What are the actual risks of becoming seriously ill from raw milk? Is it possible to become sick from pasteurized milk? How convincing to serious scientists is research out of Europe indicating raw milk protects against childhood asthma and allergies? How can I tell if a particular farm is a safe source of raw milk? Should I feed raw milk to my children? What if I want to feed it to my children but my spouse objects?
It provides objective and straightforward answers, backed up by studies and data. This is the ultimate resources for individuals trying to decide whether raw milk is for them.
"Gumpert churns out every answer to every conceivable question in the raw milk
controversy. A must-read." Joel Salatin, Virginia farmer and author
"David Gumpert explains in clear and lucid prose why more people are making raw drinking milk their personal choice. And beyond that, he provides valuable guidance on food safety, a review of the evidence for health benefits, and sound advice on sourcing this special food." Joseph Heckman, Ph.D., professor of soil science, Rutger University
"The book presents the positions and reasons for the opposing views on raw milk, and gives the reader the opportunity to make a well-grounded decision whether to consume raw milk products or stay with pasteurized or conventional dairy products. I highly recommend this book to all consumers interested in raw milk." Catharina Berge, Ph.D., board member of the Raw Milk Institute
"Thanks to journalist David Gumpert for writing such an easily digestible primer on such a complex subject. I know it will be welcome by those who want to understand why raw, unpasteurized milk has at once become so popular for those serious about their food options and at the same time become public enemy number one to dairy industry lobbyists and government regulators." Mark Castel, Co-founder Cornucopia Institute
