Not only is raw milk safe, it is healthier than
pasteurized milk, raw milk advocates argue. According
to the American Association of Medical Milk
Commissions, raw milk is rich in enzymes and contains
all 22 of the essential amino acids. Enzymes help the
body's cells perform many functions and aid the body
in breaking down protein, thus making raw milk easier
to digest. Raw milk is an excellent source of vitamins
and minerals, particularly vitamin B12, a necessary
vitamin that is difficult to find in nonmeat sources.
Pasteurized milk loses many of these healthy
attributes. The heat process of pasteurization kills a
majority of the amino acids and enzymes. In fact, one
method to ensure that the milk has been sufficiently
pasteurized is to check for the absence of certain
enzymes and vitamins.
=============================================
do all 22 enzymes survive the 60 day fermentation
process from raw milk to raw cheese?
