Health Dept vet claims raw milk causes miscarriage and death?

Debate is heating up after the Indiana Senate called for a plan to legalize and regulate the sale of raw milk. One establishment Health Department official claims pathogens found in raw milk can lead to bloody stool, miscarriage, and even death.

Indianapolis local news WANE.com reports,

Indiana is one of only 20 states that has outlawed the sale of unpasteurized milk. Thirty other states have myriad of laws governing the approval and sale of raw milk. The issue has public health officials squirming.

There are multiple pathogens that could easily end up in milk. Some of the most common are Campylobacter, Salmonella and E. coli. When a human ingests one of those bacteria, it causes gastroenteritis which can lead to bloody diarrhea, extreme abdominal cramping, miscarriage in pregnant women and even death. Those pathogens are killed in the pasteurization process.

Also speaking in opposition to legalization of raw milk is the National Milk Producers Federation—a lobbying group representing establishment milk producers for whom sales of raw milk would present a possible loss in market share and revenue.

    Ummm....no? That seems a little retarded. Man has been drinking milk for centuries...and before Pasteur came along with his wonderful idea of Pasteurization...guess what...it was all raw.

    The HEALTH DEPARTMENT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH. They

    ONLY CARE ABOUT HOW HEALTHY their COFFER IS! IF THEY WERE SHORT of

    TAX REVENUE, they CAN'T BE HEALTHY. They CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT TAXES.

    THAT'S WHY they TRY HARD to SCARE LITTLE FARMERS, NONE'LL ESCAPE

    the TAX-MEN. PAY UP, OTHERWISE, the HEALTH DEPT WILL DIE of LACK-TAX

    FUNDING. They WILL NOT DIE [...] from MILK-BORN-DISEASES as Campylobacter,

    Salmonella and E. coli. When a human ingests one of those bacteria, it causes

    gastroenteritis which can lead to bloody diarrhea, extreme abdominal cramping,

    miscarriage in pregnant women and even death.[...] as they WARN US.

    My FAMILY'S ELDERS PASSED AWAY AT the RIGHTFUL AGES of 90 or OLDER,

    but NONE DIED of THOSE DISEASES LISTED ABOVE by the U.S. HEALTH DEPT.

    YOU MUST PAY MORE TAXES LIKE IN CHINA, RUSSIA et al!

    MY PARENTS ACTUALLY HAD SIXTEEN-FULL-TERMED-LIVE-BIRTHS.

    And THEY DRANK NO OTHER KIND of MILK but RAW, THAT'S WHY my MUM

    PASSED ON AT 92-YEARS-OF-LIFE.

    TRUE! That's why our FOREFATHERS KEPT QUITTING LIVING and KICKED

    the BUCKET AT AGES 90 to 120 because THEY DRANK RAW MILK, LEAVING

    TEN, TWELVE, some of them EVEN REPRODUCED TWENTY or so KIDS with a

    SINGLE MARRIAGE, ONE WIFE.

    Unpasteurised milk has a higher probability of carrying pathogens. Its absurd that anyone would even want to drink the stuff.

    "121 dairy–related disease outbreaks, which caused 4,413 illnesses, 239 hospitalizations and three deaths. In 60 percent of the outbreaks (73 outbreaks) state health officials determined raw milk products were the cause. Nearly all of the hospitalizations (200 of 239) were in those sickened in the raw milk outbreaks."


    Unpasteurised milk advocates are as out of touch with modern medicine and sciences as the anti-vaccine people.

    Is that suppose to mean anything to me?

    I don't care what d-list celebrity has to so about scientific matters. Either post science to back up an argument or don't bother posting at all.

    Technically, we encounter a multitude of dangerous pathogens every day, in things we touch, eat, even breathing puts you at risk. Doesn't mean that everything should be banned. Regulated, sure...but not banned.
