Back in the old days, people would drink raw milk which caused many people died from it. In 1864, Louis Pasteur invented the process of pasteurization. Pasteurization is started by heating the milk for its own good benefits. Milk factory started to grow more and more milks got pasteurized. The main point of pasteurized milk is to destroy microorganisms. Microorganisms are things that cannot be seen, and they are consider as bacteria. If you think about it, every day we all are surround by bacteria. Things that we cannot see will cause us to be in danger. Who doesn’t love their health? I believe we all do and want to choose the best food for our body system.
As a student and a woman, I will entirely choose to purchase pasteurized milk because I have seen people that drink raw milk before. They got sick so bad but people who drink pasteurized milk they still stay normal and did improve their health. If we don’t choose to drink pasteurized milk over raw milk, we all will start to get sick! Things will start to get worse if you choose the wrong path. It has proven legally that pasteurized milk has been sold in all grocery stores in the United States. Many people believe that drinking pasteurized milk will prevent bacteria by boiling them to the right temperature and provide good nutritious.
As is proven by the Food and Drug Administration, “Pasteurizing milk DOES NOT cause lactose intolerance and allergic reactions. Pasteurization DOES NOT reduce milk’s nutritional value” (Consumers). Drinking milk products can be dangerous if you don’t know which one has good benefits for you or not. Pasteurized milk can help you from high-risk germs and save your life to live longer. This point of view may seem to be accurate but pasteurized milk may not provide much nutritious if compared to raw milk. We can see that having raw milk is considered as having an organic drink and it has many nutritional benefits in it. According to Dr. Edward Group DC, NP, DACBN, DCBCN, DABFM agree that “Organic, raw milk is a complete food, loaded with minerals, protein, and vitamins. Raw milk contains an amazing selection of minerals ranging from calcium and phosphorus to trace element” (Dr. Group’s). Because of this fact, the opinion of buying raw milk isn’t that bad if you want real legendary nutritious. Throughout many debates, people have seen that for the safety of public health and medical insurance, the government have proven pasteurization to pass the law to be sold in all stores. This law is for to protect the community health.
According to Bill Marler who is an American lawyer and as a food spokesman clearly stated that “Many states require that milk sold to the public be pasteurized, and federal law prohibits any interstate shipment of milk that has not been pasteurized” (Marler). Also, many scientists do agree with this law because without pasteurized the milk people could have a poor health issue. It is true that pasteurized milk is allowing to be sold in stores but that doesn’t mean raw milk got banned not to sold out in stores. Marler also stated that “However, raw milk proponents argue that raw milk bans infringe on the right of consumers to make their own choice” (Marler).
People do have the right choice to choose which food to buy to benefits their health and few states do allow raw milk to be sold. Above all the facts it has proven that decades, pasteurized milk has provided good nutritious for our body and is safe to drink because they got proven by the government to be sold in every store. To pasteurize the milk, it includes heating to a specific of requirement temperature. Heating the milk is a way to kill microorganisms. Some people may choose to drink raw milk but after all majority for the safety of everyone, the government recommended everyone to drink pasteurized milk. They are good to go and have saved many lives!
