Raw milk is the natural unaltered milk usually from cows, goats or sheep but in some countries it is camel or buffalo. Raw milk is not pasteurized, homogenized or frozen, nor has it been altered with additives, chemicals, light or homogenization. The ideal raw milk is taken straight from animals fed only fresh, organic, green grass, rapidly cooled to somewhere around 36-38 degrees F, and bottled.

Most states impose restrictions on raw milk suppliers due to concerns about safety. However, raw milk varies due to the many factors that go into its formation. What the cow is fed, how and where it's raised, how the milk is collected all play important roles in its safety and quality. Cows pastured on organic green grass produce milk with amazing health benefits.

Milk from grass-fed cows has amazing properties, one of which is the presence of naturally produced antimicrobials in solution. Another is the production of a beneficial fatty acid known as CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) that improves health and has anti-cancer properties. For comparison, grain-fed cows have as little as one fifth the CLA in their milk as grass-fed.

Raw milk for human consumption is not generally commercially available in the US. But in some states, raw milk can be purchased at the farm. Look for raw milk that comes from organic grass-fed cows. Ideally, raw milk is not used for cooking. Heating milk close to boiling point is just the same as pasteurizing it.

There are reports that raw milk can cause illnesses, but it is not any worse than consuming regular milk, fruits or veggies. Finding a hygienic farm that produces milk from grass fed cows is the best way to get high quality raw milk. Use the link http://www.realmilk.com/where01.html to find raw milk suppliers in the US.
