Raw milk is the real deal. Our Sportfuel clients are amazed when we bust the milk myth and tell them to stay away from processed skim milk and go for milk as nature intended. Did you know that pigs are given skim milk to get fat? That’s right..because on whole milk, they don’t put on the weight. Very interesting. (Read more about that in The Liberation Diet)

Here is a recent post from Nourished Kitchen on raw milk and its benefits: I Drink Raw Milk: Fresh, Raw, Local, and Full of Fat.

To sum it all up: “Real milk – raw milk – doesn’t need fortification as vitamins, minerals and enzymes remain intact instead of broken, denatured and destroyed through heat processing by standard pasteurization or, worse yet, the extreme temperatures reached through ultra-high-temperature (UHT) pasteurization.”

My favorite real milk story is about my dad. After I gave him The Liberation Diet, he was so enlightened that he immediately took action and found a relatively close source for real milk for all of us. Once he found it, he never looked back and now both he and my mother are enjoying the taste and feeling the benefits! It’s wonderful to see people of all ages discover the power and wonders of real food, especially after years of eating industrialized chemically-laden devitalized foods.

Other members of my family have started to drink real milk as well and have had positive results too. Real milk’s healthy bacteria has helped one family member’s complexion, and its digestibility has worked wonders for another family with food intolerances.

I recommend that everyone gives real milk a try! You’re welcome in advance.
