Facts

Pasteurised milk sold in supermarkets has been heated to 72C for 15 to 30 seconds in order to extend shelf life. This destroys healthy bacteria that helps protect the gut against disease. The destruction of one of nature's most effective probiotics, has led to the creation of the probiotoc yoghurt drink - many of which are laced with sugar, colourings and flavourings! Hardly a fitting replacement.

Raw milk has been proven to cure conditions such as asthma, eczema and hayfever. Just a couple of glasses a week can reduce the chances of developing eczema by almost 40 per cent and hayfever by 10 per cent.

Raw milk more than halves levels of histamine, a chemical pumped out by cells in response to an allergen. The milk contains bacteria that help to prime the immune system. (click here for raw milk suppliers in the UK)
