Boiling of Milk

[Guest guest]

Why is boiling of milk necessary?

 

I have started to buy raw milk from an organic dairy these days. They

recommend not boiling the milk. But since I grew up in India, I have

seen my parents boiling the milk everyday. Is it just for killing the

germs or does it have any other value as well.

 

Come to think of it mothers milk is never boiled!!!!

 

Thanks in advance

Namaste Himali!

 

Seeing no response to your question, I'd like to share my

understanding. So many ask me about these things I last month posted

an in depth article about milk at

http://www.sacredwindow.com/Articles-Milk.html Basically, I was given

to understand that boiling milk simplifies the protein molecule,

making it smaller and easier to digest (unlike pasteurizing, which is

just below boiling temp and makes it larger, more of an allergen

potentially). Anyone can verify this? Certainly it handles very well

for many in this way.

 

I also would still love to hear commentary comparing the really fresh

raw with ayurvedically prepared boiled.

 

I am not satisfied with my raw milk source and have gone back to

(unhomogenized) organic pasteurized, which I then boil.

Thanks Martha,

 

I have heard the same too at home, but was not sure if significant

research has been done in this matter.

 

For me, I don't see any difference. May be it depends on the

individual. But wanted to make sure if there are any invisible

problems it might be creating.

 

How are you getting (unhomogenized) organic pasteurized milk?

 

Thanks
