them in food-form, especially those who are considered “high risk”. People who buy raw
milk are aware that there may be pathogens within it by the Government warning label.
There has been no proof that feeding or contact with raw milk is unsafe or dangerous to
infants and children, nor to the “high risk” groups defined by health departments. We are
not saying that food-poisoning does not exist. We have no evidence that raw milk has
proved to cause any illness in any children and other “at high risk” individuals. Evidence
exists that infants and children thrive on raw milk. (p. xx, and Exh. L.) Illnesses in infants
have been treated successfully with raw milk for centuries in hospitals and clinics. (p.16-
17.) Raw milk reduced infant deaths in hospital by 94%. (p.16, ¶ 6.)
DHS Report (p.5, ¶ 6.) claims, “A review of the literature found no scientific study which
demonstrates medical or health benefits of raw milk.” SR presents a portion of the
expert data on the benefits of raw milk from: Harvard, Princeton, Cambridge, University
of Georgia Dairy Science Department, Dartmouth College, Ohio State University School
of Agricultural Chemistry, Washington University School of Medicine, Tufts University,
the Mayo Clinic of Minnesota, The Price Pottenger Nutrition Foundation, medical
journals and publications such as Certified Milk Magazine, American Association of
Medical Milk Commission, Milk Industry Foundation, The Lancet, JAMA, World Cancer
Research Fund, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, New England Journal of
Medicine, British Medical Journal, Consumer Reports, Consumer’s Union, and St.
Vincent’s Hospital, the prestigious Hartford Hospital. (p.16-21.) Dr. J.E. Crewe, M.D.,
from the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, said, “...the treatment of various diseases over a period
of eighteen years with a practically exclusive [raw] milk diet has convinced me personally
that the most important single factor in the cause of disease and in the resistance to
disease is food…” (p.19, ¶ 11)
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The barrage of present-day bacterial misinformation thrust upon the public is
predominantly unscientific speculation regarding raw milk and not based on empirical
examination. (p.23-28.)
