Russell W. Currier, John A. Widness, A Brief History of Milk Hygiene and Its Impact on Infant Mortality from 1875 to 1925 and Implications for Today: A Review, Journal of Food Protection, Volume 81, Issue 10, 2018, Pages 1713-1722, ISSN 0362-028X, https://doi.org/10.4315/0362-028X.JFP-18-186 Developed by Louis Pasteur in 1864, pasteurization evolved from the commercially important parboiling of wine and beer when the Industrial Revolution was effecting rapid societal change in Western societies. In European and American societies of the early and mid-19th century, infant mortality rates were 30- to 60-fold higher than the current rates of five or six deaths per 1,000 live births per year. With proof of the germ theory of disease came convincing evidence of the role of microbes in the transmission of infections, which led to the discovery that microbial pathogens were transmissible via milk. Diseases caused by milkborne pathogens include human and bovine tuberculosis, brucellosis, salmonellosis, streptococcal infections, diphtheria, and “summer diarrhea.” With pasteurization of milk, infectious diseases with their high infant mortality rates decreased by only half by the early 20th century, despite concurrent medical and dairy hygiene advances.
Or as Jeff Waldorf, who’s worked at a dairy farm in the past said: “All pasteurization does is just heat up the milk and destroy the you know the germs from all the poop.” And that about sums it up!!
Trump GUTS CDC As Measles & Other Diseases Come ROARING Back – The Logical Leftist “I worked at a dairy farm when I was younger okay cows are dirty. I don’t hate cows. I love beef I you know. I like cows but like they’re dirty. They’re covered in poop. Lots and lots of cow poop.”
The risk just isn’t worth it. Especially for the cats.
