While the New Mexico Department of Health said it can’t pinpoint the baby’s exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother’s drinking raw milk during pregnancy.
Health officials in New Mexico are warning against consuming raw dairy products after a newborn baby in the state died from a listeria infection that they say was likely contracted when the baby’s mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.
The New Mexico Department of Health in a news release said that officials believe the mother consumed unpasteurized milk while pregnant, which could have led to the listeria infection.
Officials cannot pinpoint the exact source of the listeria that led to the baby’s death, the release said, but it noted that “the tragic death underscores the serious risks raw dairy poses to pregnant women, young children, elderly New Mexicans and anyone with a weakened immune system.”
Pasteurization? That’s UNNATURAL! No one wants all that done to their milk. They want it RAW!
Yea, most of these RAW milk people dont realize its basically just low temperature boiling. They think they are adding acid or antibiotics or soething.
I was briefly interested in raw milk in the early 2000s. There was a lot of info floating around about how pasteurization destroyed beneficial bacteria that healthy people could benefit from, to avoid risk to those with compromised immune systems, infants and elderly, etc. The gut microbiome was just starting to be talked about, and we didn’t know much, but people were curious about improving it.
Fortunately I did a little digging and realized it was a fairly radical and unproven concept, but it’s not just the belief they’re adding something harmful. It’s the belief they’re removing beneficial bacteria that would somehow improve our health.
Considering how the last 20 years have been full of mostly unproven probiotic and prebiotic marketing insanity, it’s not surprising, it’s the same base concept. But science has been demonized since then, people actively think science and medicine is trying to keep us unhealthy now, and the top levels of government are promoting that bullshit.
They prefer their milk darwinized.
you give em too much credit
Yea, way too much. Most just do what the dog-eating brainworm guy in charge of health says.
