I have milked cows for four years at two different farms and have a degreen in agricultural education from Penn State. Everytime a cow is treated with antibiotics the cow's milk is dumped down the drain and not into the tank for everyone to enjoy. This is the same way with cows that have mastitis. BST rBGH whatever you want to call it does not do anything to you. It has been scientifically proven that no difference in milk could be detected from cows treated with BST and not treated with BST. The benefit is to the farmer. It increases feed efficiency and milk production which means more money for the farmer. Which in this economy means that the small farmers have a small shot at staying in business. I bet you didn't know that milk is sold by the hundred weight. The current price is $13/100lbs. When you add up the price of the mortgage, feed costs, vet bills, cleaning supplies, labor, equipment, etc. You're lucky that farmers can even stay in business to provide milk to you!! So next time you go to the store and see that the price of a gallon of milk has gone up, don't complain. You're supporting a farmer so that they can continue to feed you.

Does pasteurisation affect calcium in all milks the same way? And how exactly does it manipulate the calcium into an inabsorbable compound, what are the mechanisms involved? I'm worried now as I'm barely reaching 1000mg a day, including supplements. Goats milk is the only kind of dairy I eat. I can't find any raw goat products where I live either. If you know anything about my questions, that would be great! Very well written article, I'm glad I'll find it. Now I can just send this to all my friends instead of called a vegie freak when I try to explain that I live perfectly well without all the calcium and protein I'm "missing" from milk, which, incidentally, they're missing too =] Does this mean that I can’t depend on goat milk products for a good portion of my daily calcium?

There are tons of websites and movements that advocate what you have suggested (e.g. Weston Price Foundation for Raw Milk), unfortunately we are living in a time where money talks! Get my point? Thanks for the comment. Jamie,
