    From what I can get from a quick google normal homogenized milk can lead to health problems (but don’t get scared its not poison). Instead it’s better to drink organic milk that’s not homogenized.

    And I would say let the farmers drink raw milk, they know the health of their cows best.

    Edit: Of course milk should be pasteurised, it’s the homogenisation that should be avoided. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogenization_(chemistry)

      Do you mean pasteurized? Homogenized just means that the milk is mixed so there isn’t a fat layer.

      Also it can be pasteurized and still organic. So I am suspicious of your understanding here.

        He already said he “only did a quick google” so it’s fair to say there is no understanding. Love the vague “health problems” as the reason to avoid safe milk too lol.

          Pasteurized organic milk is safe.

          I did not write that you should drink raw milk.

            I think the issue is that you felt the need to write anything at all. You admittedly know nothing about it and just gave confusing information based on a cursory internet search.

                I think we’d be happy with “remotely relevant” or even “well researched”. I’m not sure what you were going for.

            Ok well you replied to a comment asking the benefits of raw milk, in a thread about raw milk. Your off topic comment is therefore misleading.

        This has nothing to do with anything, but I know what homogenized means in the context of milk, but when I was a kid, I used to think it meant milk from different cows had been mixed. Like, that’s why the called it homogenized. That they were, for some reason, mandated to make giant vats of cow-juice from millions of cows, and stir it together before they could sell it.

          So what is the problem with homogenization? You like big fat globs instead of small ones? You want fat to separate out for better health? It’s just a mechanical treatment.
