‘Staggering’ number of people believe unproven claims about #vaccines, #rawmilk, and more
More than 2/3rds of the public believe at least one false or unproven #health claim.
The survey, of more than 16,000 people across 16 countries, asked whether they believed claims that are not supported by research, including the ‘risk of childhood #vaccinations outweighs benefits’, ‘#fluoride in water is harmful’ and ‘raw milk is healthier than pasteurized.’

@Thomasthegreat Between 1998 and 2018, raw milk was linked to over 2,500 hospitalizations in the US, with severe neurological complications being a recognized, albeit less common, consequence. I have a friend who had one of those severe reactions. She had contracted Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), an autoimmune disorder triggered by bacterial infection from Listeria found in unpasteurized milk. This caused her to experience Quadriplegia. Loss of her limbs! And it very nearly took her life. It fortunately was not permanent, but lasted shy of a year. Can you even imagine?
The CDC notes that severe outcomes from raw milk consumption include paralysis, kidney failure, stroke, and death. So you and your siblings are playing around with something nearly everyone else who wants continued good health should avoid. Maybe I should add, especially in the US?
And I'll just mention that its milk from another species I'll gotten. Kinda gross and perverse in its own way, but that the radical vegan talking now. Besides, nearly every one is lactose intolerant, even me with my Scandinavia/ English heritage. Just more reasons to not consume such a thing. #rawmilk #listeria #quadriplegia -

Trumpism in a nutshell:
#RawMilk is 100x more dangerous than Pasteurized milk. One U.S. farmer admits:
“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital, and they have been sick, but they recovered, But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer. And I’m going against the grain here. I’m climbing a mountain they say you can’t climb.” 🤦♂️

tRump and raw milk fans love to ignore history. A scientific review on milk hygiene shows how pasteurization and clean practices slashed infant deaths dramatically. Promoting raw milk today isn’t “freedom” — it’s putting kids at risk. Science over ideology. #RawMilk

"The Milkman
• Raw Milk on the Rise: Driven by political shifts and wellness trends, unpasteurized milk has moved from a fringe obsession to a widespread movement rooted in institutional distrust.
•The Myth of Safety: Despite stringent hygiene efforts, contamination from deadly bacteria like E. coli and salmonella remains an inherent, unavoidable risk in unpasteurized dairy.
• A Political Shield: As raw milk continues to sicken consumers, high-level lawmakers and government officials are championing the industry’s expansion rather than curbing the danger.
(. . .)
He was talking about raw milk, which, if you trust 150 years of bedrock science, offers little reason to consume. By definition, it has not been pasteurized, the simple process of heating milk to kill off harmful bacteria. Before the practice was widely adopted a century ago, thousands of babies died each year from illnesses linked to contaminated dairy. Today, most scientists and health experts agree that raw milk has no significant, proven nutritional benefits over its sanitized counterpart, cannot treat or cure disease and subjects its consumers to over 100 times the risk of foodborne illness, which can be especially dangerous for young children.
And yet, McAfee’s farm, the largest raw-milk dairy in the country, is pulling in about $30 million a year, meeting a growing demand from customers who say they want food that hasn’t been robbed of health benefits by industrial processing. Once drawing a fringe crowd, raw milk has been thrust into the mainstream in recent years by a potent mix of politics, wellness culture and a wave of suspicion that health institutions have been compromised by Big Pharma and Big Food. Its proponents have turned it into a symbol of freedom and defiance. More than 10 million Americans now drink it; national weekly sales rose by 65% from 2023 to 2024 alone.
Raw milk’s success confounded me: How had it gained such a foothold in this country, despite regular outbreaks of salmonella and E. coli, and even the discovery of bird flu in Raw Farm’s milk? More pressing still, what was the government doing to protect the public amid demands for products that scientists warn are risky, even deadly? Speaking with McAfee seemed like a good place to start; federal and state regulators had linked his business to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that had left hundreds of people ill."

When we #childfree hear about #anti-vax parents & crunchy parents feeding their kids #rawmilk, the whole bingo argument of "who will take care you when you're older" is laughable when our counter argument is "will your child live to adulthood" and if they do, "WILL they WANT to take care of you for putting their life at risk".

He Profits Off Raw Milk That’s Making People Sick. The Government Isn’t Stopping Him.
Regulators have linked Mark McAfee’s raw dairy farm to more than a dozen recalls and outbreaks that left hundreds of people ill.
“I’ve put a couple kids in the hospital,” McAfee said. “But here’s the thing: I’m a pioneer.”

“The FDA highlighted that the people sickened in this outbreak are young, with over half being less than 5 years old. Children under 5 are particularly vulnerable to severe complications, including HUS, from the type of E. coli in this outbreak, which is a Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, or STEC.“
If you fed your child any other poison, the law would come for you. How is this permissible?

Yeah, I cook my food for the most part.
If these geniuses spent any time in a milking parlor I am pretty sure they would be all about the pasteurization thing.
I am.

“Unpasteurized dairy products thus cause 840 […] times more illnesses and 45 […] times more hospitalizations than pasteurized products.
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/23/6/15-1603_article
“Dairy product consumption accounts for about 1% of reported foodborne illness in the U.S., and approximately 70% of those reported cases are attributed to raw milk.”
