CDC: Beware the leafy green, poultry and dairy
Leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach and kale accounted for the most
food-borne illnesses nationwide from 1998 through 2008, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports. Dairy products accounted for the most hospitalizations. The most deaths were linked to poultry. Epidemiologists at the CDC found that leafy greens accounted for 23% of illnesses and dairy products 14%. However, when they looked only at hospitalizations, the lineup was different: Dairy products were responsible for 16% of hospitalizations followed by leafy vegetables at 14% and poultry 12%. For deaths, poultry accounted for 19%, then dairy products at 10%. ....Griffin cautions that the dairy product numbers are misleading. Many of the outbreaks linked to dairy products involve unpasteurized milk and cream, but the vast majority of Americans drink and eat only pasteurized dairy products. "The weight of the raw milk outbreaks is making it look as if dairy is a bigger source of illness than we actually think it is," she said. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...lness/1872557/ |

So, no. They're *not* safer than pasteurized dairy products - at least not in the US. It's not at all surprising if you think about it - when you consume raw dairy products, you're putting your health into the hands of the individual running that particular farming operation. That trust can and often is misplaced. |

You can buy it here in WA too if you know where to get it. But... Seeing as how my dad's grandparents had a dairy farm and my mom was raised on a farm, both of them advised me never to buy the raw stuff. They think it's not safe. Then again, my dad thinks potato peels aren't safe. Dunno. |

My dad used to go to England on occasion for work. He would always bring me back After Eights. And while you can get those here now, in no way shape or form do they taste the same. The imported ones are sooo much better. He said it is because of their milk there. |

I must say that I am leery of the bagged stuff because there have been food poisoning issues but... It's still the most economical way for me to get the kind of salad that I want. I have not seenthe mix of which you speak. May I ask what brand it is? Angela *loves* the baby Swiss chard and it's hard to find any bags that have a lot in it. She doesn't like spinach though so I would have to pick that out. Not sure she has ever had any raw bok choy. I have tried a few times to put it in a stir fry but nobody in this house is fond of stir fry so that never goes over well. Seems almost every time I buy a whole head of lettuce or cabbage, some goes to waste. We just can't eat it all before it goes bad. And really I prefer a mix of greens. |

PS: I'm not a cabbage eater either. I buy it for pulled pork sandwiches and fish tacos. I would have leftovers even if I could buy half a head (which is unheard of these days), so I roast the rest with another meal - I actually enjoy roasted cabbage. -- Food is an important part of a balanced diet. |

Pasteurized milk is so delicious that it's hard to imagine just about anything being better, but raw milk tastes even better. The big danger to me is that I'd get fat because it is so delicious that I couldn't restrain myself. --Bryan |

Pasteurisation does do that - but it also kills the milk's own inbuilt natural ability to do the same job (I'd argue a better job of it). Yes, it can be quite expensive to buy, luckily for me I don't have to buy it... incidentally, sale of raw milk is illegal here in Australia. In Aus, that's gotten around by selling raw milk as 'bath milk' - about $8 for a 2L bottle. |
