Turns Milk that has not been cooked Dangerous

The tendency to drink fresh milk which is not processed first raw alias may pose a risk of disease.

According to recent studies, raw milk makes people 100 times more likely to develop the disease than milk that has been pasteurized.

Raw milk has been linked to more than half of the diseases that come from all milk-based foods, although only about 3.5 percent of the US population drink.

Earlier people were advised to drink raw milk contains antibodies, proteins, and bacteria more natural than pasteurized milk healthier, cleaner, and tastes better. They argue pasteurization removes essential nutrients, such as folic acid.

But a new study shows the risk on raw milk outweigh the benefits.

Researchers claim that the risk of consuming raw milk contaminated with microbes commonly found in milk. Including species of Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Listeria as well as the most dangerous microbes, E. coli.

These bacteria can cause foodborne illness in humans, such as diarrhea, vomiting, cramps, fever, and sometimes more serious consequences such as kidney failure or death.

"The risk of consuming raw milk has been much addressed in the scientific literature and in some cases can have serious or even fatal consequences," said Cissy Li, graduate students of environmental health sciences at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health was quoted by the Daily Mail, Wednesday, April 1st, 2015 .

"Based on our findings, we do not recommend to consume raw milk, especially among vulnerable populations such as parents, people with impaired immune systems, pregnant women, and children."

Pasteurization of milk is done by heating to destroy microbes in milk derived from fecal contamination, milk processing errors, goat, cow, or other sources. Milk should be treated sealed to prevent recontamination.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future conducted an analysis of 81 scientific journal articles,

"In the end, the scientific literature shows that the risk of foodborne illness raw milk, 100 times greater than the risk of foodborne illness from pasteurized milk," said report author Benjamin Davis, also a graduate student in environmental health sciences.

Despite the potential benefits of raw milk consumption need further investigation, but the researchers believe, from the standpoint of public health, which is a much safer option is to prevent drinking raw milk.

These studies follow up the incident on three farms that sell raw milk E. coli poisoning in five children aged 1 to 12 years and 1 adults aged 28 years.

Last year, the Food Standards Agency in the UK to stop the sale of raw cow's milk ready to drink and dairy products, including cheese, from the three farms. (Ism)
