Gossip & Opinions / Raw Milk
« Last post by IroNat on Today at 03:58:15 AM »Interestingly enough, raw milk has become a hot topic on social media platforms like TikTok. Some influencers claim it is a healthier alternative to pasteurized milk because it is easier to digest and contains more vitamins and minerals. However, these claims are unfounded and downright misleading. In fact, while you are unlikely to hear about it on TikTok, the dangers of raw milk are undeniable.
Not only is there a tuberculosis risk associated with raw milk, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA), raw milk also carries "dangerous germs such as Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others that cause foodborne illness," (AKA food poisoning). The FDA goes on to say that raw milk is particularly dangerous for people with compromised immune systems, pregnant women, older adults, and children. So... not great. Actually, pretty scary.
With all this in mind, it isn't surprising that raw milk is banned in many countries, including Scotland, Australia, and Canada. It is also banned in 20 U.S. states and its sales are restricted in even more (via Healthline).
