MILK Milk is an important part of our diet Healthy: Prevents osteoporosis, less likely to develop diabetes, much calcium and vitamin D Less and less people are drinking it, afraid they’ll get fat or afraid it contains bad growth hormones

What type of milk is the safest to drink? A) Raw B) Ultra Pasteurized C) Pasteurized

Raw Milk- bad Not pasteurized or homogenized Illegal in some states, dangerous because easily infected during delivery with E-coli and other bad pathogens

Raw Milk- good Contamination can be easily avoided if dairies are strict with their handling and sanitation The bacteria, enzymes, and nutrients destroyed in pasteurization are good for you

Question How do you think each one differs in taste?

Pasteurized Milk Milk heated to a certain temperature for an amount of time to kill bacteria This also keeps it fresh for longer Usually 165 degrees for 15 seconds then chill it “Pasteurized milk has up to a 66 percent loss of vitamins A, D and E”

Ultra Pasteurized Milk Heated to at least 191 degrees for only one second then chilled This makes it able to stay on the shelf for much longer “ Heat affects water soluble vitamins and can make them 38 percent to 80 percent less effective.”
