After a recent trip to the Naples Whole Foods juice bar – a place, mind you, I usually avoid at all costs because they don't explicitly label as organic the ingredients in their prepared foods – I allowed my good judgment to be euthanized by the sweet-sounding clerk’s assurance that they use "mostly organic" ingredients, with the highly non-binding qualification: "whenever possible."
Not only does most store bought almond milk contain only 2% almonds, but some are harboring a scary ingredient. Is your almond milk causing inflammation and disease?
An international team of researchers recently confirmed that children who drink fresh milk – unprocessed and unpasteurized – have a better immune response to allergens and are far less likely to develop asthma.
While commercially available milk is detrimental for health, it is important to remember that this milk is a highly processed industrial product remotely resembling the raw milk it originates from. High quality raw milk from exclusively pastured cows has incredible medicinal properties, fully recognised and harnessed before vested interests enforced compulsory pasteurization and legitimized low production standards.
