395: Raw milk, raw cheese, and raw dairy in general has got some backlash lately and there's even been news of outbreaks linked to it....but is the media really telling the truth and did the FDA and CDC hide the truth and what really happened and did the company Raw Farm get blamed for something they never did? Today I have Mark Mcafee who is the founder and CEO of the company and farm, Raw Farm USA, of which you probably are aware of or at least have heard of or seen one way or another.
Mark and I discuss what really happened with the outbreaks the news linked back to raw dairy and he shares the truth, facts, and test results from their farm and what the CDC told them after the fact. They basically have been suppressed, blackmailed, and threatened by these 3 letter organizations because (in my personal opinion) they don't want humans to have access to the healing properties raw dairy contains because you can't make money off of sick people. - And speaking of benefits, we go into all the bioactive compounds raw dairy contains, the health issues that have been cured and reversed just by consuming raw dairy, and misconceptions around raw dairy such as if it's inflammatory to the gut, if pregnant women and immune compromised people should avoid it, and if people with autoimmune diseases should consume raw dairy or not and the positive effects it's been shown to have. Remember, before there was "health food", there was just food. And before there was "raw milk" there was just milk. Our society has demonized true, unprocessed, whole foods and made people who choose to consume them seem like the black sheep....the sad reality is, most Americans consume the standard American diet, aka the SAD diet.
Mark also reveals some exciting news about some upcoming new products at the end of this episode so stay tuned for that, and if you live in a state where raw dairy is illegal, we also share some resources to find raw dairy in your area where anyone can get access to it. Raw Farm is the largest dairy farm in the world, and today, you'll get the inside scoop of why it's been demonized for decades.
