WHICH TYPE OF MILK IS YOUR PREFERENCE?

Today, my blog is on MILK. We all know what is milk, but it depends on which farm cattle is one's choice: cow, goats, sheep, buffalo or others. Each one has his own choice on the type of milk he likes to consume.

There are actually several kinds of milk, such as: Raw Milk, Pasteurized Milk; Full Cream Milk, Skimmed Milk, Powdered Milk and other dairy products made out of Milk.
Nowadays, the most common form of Milk, which is almost everywhere is the Pasteurized Milk. There are several ways of pasteurization:

1- Heating up milk to 145 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes which isn't very common.

2- More common method is to heat up the milk to at least 161 degrees for 15 minutes, this is known as HTST, the High-Temperature Short-Time, pasteurization or flash pasteurization.

3- The newer process is the Ultra- Pasteurization (UP) or Ultra-Heat Treatment (UHT), where milk is heated to 280 degrees Fahrenheit for a shorter amount of time. This process results in a Shelf Life that can extend up to nine months, allowing milk to be stored un-refrigerated because of longer lasting sterilization effect.

RAW MILK or Regular milk, is pure Milk to drink with all its constituents unaltered. Raw Milk contains vitamins, minerals, protein, calcium, amino acids and enzymes which are important to maintain good health.
As long as the milk is clean, of high standard, without additive, the cows or others are fed fresh green grass and the milk is cool and bottled, it is considered safe and effective.

But Pasteurized such as UP and UHT Milk kills the calcium and other important nutritious ingredients in the milk and may cause other inconveniences to some people. Additives are use also.
Pasteurization, HTST, UHT and UP and Additives should be mentioned on the labels with the expiry dates.

I hope we can all participate on this issue, in stating our ideas and experience on MILK issue.
Thank you in anticipation.
Lisa.

Silly and stupid you!! Is Breast milk mentioned in my text?. I wish you could find a Drum full if breast milk and drown yourself in it . One psychopath would be less at least!!
God forbid!!.

Lisa.

However thanks again and wish you a pleasant week.

Mary Ann hello,

Glad reading from you again, thank you so much for your visit and your relative comments. Thanks also for appreciating this blog of mine. I understand your likeness accordingly. Good also that you have got the chance to consume raw milk which is good for the health as described though somewhat heavy as you said. I had also consumed raw milk during my younger age but now it's not easy to get it, as all the dairy companies buy the raw milk from the farmers. We can get some from the farmers too but they are in villages very far from my town. Thanks again Mary Ann, wishing you a lovely week.
Lisa.

MrsJoe, hello dear,

How great reading from you on this blog of mine MrsJoe. Thanks so much for your visit and for your delightful informative comments. Am so glad to have such comments which enlighten us from your views and experience too. I would really like to have either a goat or a small cow in my garden as I love animals so much but for these types, it is not allowed in the town where I live, only dogs and cats are allowed. Concerning raw milk, I would prefer it as well but again farmers are now allowed to rear cows in town, they are all in villages far from me. Raw milk is really far better than all these processed milk. but what we to do, we must do with what is mostly available as well.
Thank you again MrsJoe.
I wish you and Joe a wonderful week.
Lisa.

Lisa, MLLD.
An informative blog. The blog tells us everything about milk that we should know in detail for our own interest.. However, I am also surprised to see that someone has left a comment here expressing something most disgusting. May be, he was thrown into the gutter after birth by his mother. I wonder how a man can make fun with breast milk which is treated just like Manna ! Anyway. Have a nice time. Best wishes and Regards.
YBN.

MBN, Looklook hi,


How nice seeing you again on my blog with your delightful comments as usual. Thank you greatly for your visit and of course for your comments. As anyone can clearly notice, there is nothing mentioned about the breast milk in my blog. It all concerns the usual milk we consume either daily or sometimes. I wanted to make the comparison between Raw milk and Pasteurized milk. How it is done and what are differences and the benefits from them for our health. It should be a twisted mind of such a man to make fun of something not mentioned on the blog itself. So I felt obliged to reply accordingly.
Thanks again for your comments and have a nice week.
My best wishes to you MBN.
Lisa.
