Flawed Government Report Used to Block State Raw Milk FreedomCDC Study Actually Shows Raw Milk to be a Very Safe Food Last week, Wisconsin public health officials and medical experts put out an anti-raw milk statement that relied heavily on the CDC study. The study pdf, by Langer et al, can be viewed here. The Weston A. Price Foundation is a worldwide nutrition education nonprofit. Their Campaign for Real Milk (realmilk.com) works to restore this traditional food to its rightful place in the human diet. The report has numerous scientific flaws that call in to question its credibility. For instance, the report claims that there are more outbreaks in states that allow raw milk sales. The premise that allowing raw milk sales in a state leads to more outbreaks is not valid because the researchers lumped all dairy products together for analysis rather than limiting it to fluid milk. Fallon Morell says: A close examination of reports on illness associated with raw milk reveals: Using these figures, we might expect to see 26,637 foodborne illnesses per year among those people drinking raw milk says Dr. Ted Beals, a retired pathologist who has made a study of raw milk safety. He says: The report confirms that there have been no deaths from fluid raw milk over the period of the report. By contrast, She continues: The Weston A. Price Foundation is a Washington, DC-based nutrition education 501(c)(3) with the mission of disseminating science-based information on diet and health. Named after Weston A. Price, DDS, author of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, WAPF publishes a quarterly journal for its 15,000+ members, supports 572 local chapters worldwide and hosts a yearly international conference.
