Jonny,
Thank you for this information. I myself am not a big fan of milk but I do have an area on concern regarding my child. I have a 12 month old whom is breastfed and is self weaning. All the pediatricians I have come across encourage you to wean them on whole cow's milk. Do you have a recommendation for this? Would soy milk be a better option? Thank you for your time.
can you find raw organic milk? through a collective perhaps?
google real milk or raw milk and you'll find amazing stories from parents who find this to be one of the most healthful options available

Hi Jonny! I have just found a local source that sells local pastured beef, eggs from the hens on site, and raw milk! I have been drinking skim milk for about 8 years to cut down on fat, and isn't there a lot of fat in raw milk since it is whole milk, or am I wrong? thanks! DP
I first learned about raw milk from your book "150 Healthiest Foods on Earth" I used real milk dot com and found a "coop" available in my area in Pittsburgh that sells raw milk. They ship it on fridays and mondays. They sell by the second. I have to call them and have them hold me 4 half gallons(only come in half gallon sizes)
Dear Jonny Bowden, My name is gregory and I just turned 23. I was first introduced to your information from a friend of mine and thank god she turned me on to you. My friend Heather told me about you and thank god she did(she just doesn't give out information to just anyone. Only people she feels will value it and truly respect it) Anyway i wanted to say thank you Dr Jonny Bowden for introducing me to a great nutritious world. I have all your books and am currently waiting on my already purchased order of your new vegetable book. I have a couple of off topic questions if you have the time and dont mind answering them that would be awesome.
1. Is there any difference nutritional wise for brown eggs and white eggs? Now i strictly search for cage free, free range, organic always eggs.(usually brown) I was told a while ago that they(some people) spray the already brown eggs white. Is this true? P.S. I recently found a farm that sells grassfed and free range products as well as raw milk that i cant wait to start ordering from. (as well as vital choice)
2. Is using the microwave to reheat food that you made bad for the food(denature it or take the Nutritional Value away) and bad for the human body? Would eating the food cold after you already cooked it be a good alternative to skipping the microwave process or would that be bad for the body?
3. Any way to find any unpasteurized and unhomogenized yogurt? I currently eat FAGE but i am always looking to eat as healthy as possible.
Looking forward to many more books(hopefully) and information from you.
thank you, seriously,
gregory
Thanks Jonny, will do.
there is fat in whole raw organic milk, but it is a great food and if you're worried about the calories i'd just drink less. Many of the nutrients like calcium are better absorbed with fat and the fat contains the valuable anti-cancer CLA which is only found in grass-fed animals

What is your stance on protein powders that are dairy based? I follow a strict paleo diet minus my protein powders (whey protein concentrate and milk protein isolate) and I figure those are what give me my acne. Is it a matter of what type and how they are produced? I'd really like to know your thoughts on dairy based protein powders.
well i don't really have a "strict stand" on this- i think it varies from person to person. The best whey proteins (like PALEOMEAL or WHEY COOL PROTEIN) are made from the whey of grass fed cows and that's a whole different 'animal" if you'll excuse the expression. So i think it depends on the person and their individual reaction to the food. Many people who DON"T do well with dairy can still handle, for example, whey protein or goat's milk- some can't. All depends.

Hi Jonny,
Do you know if raw milk has the same effect on insulin as pasturised milk, or is the insulin load lower?
Many Thanks
Rob

Dr. Jonny Bowden – I recently viewed your video regarding your stance on milk in the human diet, and wish to address some issues. In the spirit of full disclosure, I serve as an advisory panelist for the National Dairy Council (NDC).I have served as a consultant to Mead Johnson and am a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition. However, I am writing this as an individual member of the scientific community and I believe I have the expertise to do so. .
First, there is no conclusive evidence that consuming dairy foods – whether raw or pasteurized – causes prostate cancer. For example, a 2008 meta-analysis by Huncharek, et al (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18584476) found that research does not support an association between dairy foods and increased risk of prostate cancer. Likewise, there is also no conclusive evidence that consumption of milk or other dairy foods is linked to acne. A review in the British Medical Journal (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12202330) found that diet has never been shown to have much effect on acne. And, although a 2005 study published in the Journal of the Academy of Dermatology (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez) found a link between milk intake and acne in teens, the researchers concluded that this link remained unproven and recommended teens continue to drink milk. It was an epidemiological study that relied on recall, which as we know, has limitations and cannot infer causation.
In the case of antibiotics, it is important to note that the dairy industry conducts several million tests each year to ensure that antibiotics are kept out of the milk supply, and less than one-tenth of one percent (0.067%) of the supply tests positive for drug residues. Also, contrary to popular belief, hormones are present naturally in all milk. While some dairy farmers use a supplemental hormone for their cows, the safety of this use has been affirmed and reaffirmed by leading national and international health and agricultural organizations over the past 15 years.
Finally, I want your readers to be aware that research shows that raw milk is unsafe and consumption of raw milk has resulted in illness well described elsewhere.. Pasteurization kills the bacteria responsible for foodborne illnesses such as listeriosis and salmonellosis, to name a few, and despite repeated health warnings, the CDC identified 45 outbreaks of foodborne illness (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5608a3.htm) that implicated raw milk between 1988 and 2005. These outbreaks accounted for more than 1,000 illnesses and 104 hospitalizations and two deaths. Because of pasteurization, less than 1.5% of annual foodborne illness outbreaks in the U.S. are linked to dairy foods.
Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you’d like to discuss any of these comments in further detail.

Hi Dr Jonny -
I have some questions on milk and milk products. Here in Colorado, raw milk is only available if I buy a share of a cow, and they are too far away to make it practical for me.
I've seen "low heat" pasteurized non-homogenized milk at the health food store. Is this any better than regular pasteurization? It tastes a lot better than regular milk.
Also, what about whey and yogurt? Does pasteurization damage them in any way?
Thank you!!
hi
i haven't seen the "low heat" version but i would THINK it would be better, though what they consider "low" is anyone's guess. However it sounds like an improvement... i don't know enough about food manufacturing to know if it's possible to make either yogurt OR whey protein without pasteurization, but both products are very healthy- some whey is actually from grass fed cows (like the whey protein from Designs for Health) and yogurt is fermented so you've got all the good bacteria which is killed in high heat pasteurization.
Hope that helps
warmly
jb
