Nutrition For Mortals

Over the last few years sales of raw, unpasteurized milk have skyrocketed. Raw milk advocates claim that pasteurization destroys key nutrients in milk and reduces important health benefits. But beyond the health claims, raw milk has become a symbol of consumer choice and a protest against government oversight and intervention. It may seem like a simple beverage, but it has become so much more! So join us, two registered dietitians, as we dig into the story and the science of the raw milk movement.

And does current research on ultra-processed foods and health risks support these extreme declarations?  Join us, two registered dietitians, as we separate fact from fiction in the world of ultra-processed foods.
