When researchers are worried sick of the super bugs arising from this practice? There are no antibiotics in milk. If there were, it would have to be dumped.
It is tested before it goes into the truck and before it leaves the truck. Vetenary Research. EDP Sciences. Have you ever seen pus? Are you also completely and totally scared for every newborn human baby that breastfeeds because GASP there are white blood cells in human breastmilk too.
Actually… the level of pus in human females compared to female cows is WAY less given that they do not undergo the huge stress and constant forceful extraction. Give me a fucking break. Jesus H…. I dont drink milk and never have, just because unless it was chocolate, I have no interest. Lewis Black said it best when he said soy milk is bullshit.
Haha But either way, everyone do what you want. Are you mad. My heart honestly hurts at the ignorance. For years, the way milk is promoted was the primary reason I thought the American and Canadian Food Guides were a load of crap. Then I saw the comment that milk is the perfect mixture of natural nutrients and growth hormones to turn a 50 lb calf into a lb steer in a few months. I milked cows as a kid and raised steers, the reality of that is enough. That is what got me to never consider drinking milk again 3 years ago.
Then I found research with Vitamin D, there are better sources of Calcium. Finally there is the casein-a1 issue and the Dairy Industry response to it. I do eat some Goat Cheese where a lot of the components of the milk are pre-consumed and you get casein-a2. You all are forgetting about the fact that a cow only produces milk after giving birth and only for about 10 months.
The same goes for humans, only lactating after giving birth and only long enough for our young to grow big enough to move on to solid foods. There are even studies claiming a correlation between casein, a protein found in dairy, and cancer. What would be happening to cause a high white blood cell count in milk so it would be rejected?
Resulting in the pus you have failed in your endeavour to disprove the existence of pus, or infection, only that there is no such thing as a pus cell. Why the heck are people arguing back and forth with each other on this? Infection of the mammary gland is the most common and most costly disease in the dairy industry. Did you read the part where the milk is tested and thrown out if it is detected?
Perhaps you should go back and read it. The way we treat animals to get their milk is cruel. I can not in good conscience participate in it. These days there are so many healthy alternatives that are not produced in a way which causes suffering. Have you ever seen a cow milked? They stand there munching hay like nothing is going on.
Give you a big sloppy lick if you get too close. Have you ever seen a cow get milked in an industrial setting? They are hooked up in a long row and covered in their own feces. Most of them have mastitis or Staph Aureus from filthy conditions and improperly fitted teat attachments.
If it is noticed at all, the cow will be put down and either turned into low-grade meat for fast food restaurants or turned into low grade meat for pet food. And now we come to the offspring. In order to keep milk production profitable, the babies cannot be allowed to suck up the profits!
That is just absurd! And why not make a little extra money on the side by selling the male calves for meat. Well, we got that out of the way. What about the girls.
Well, the females will definitely go into production like their mothers. Gotta keep production high and money rolling in. How many farms have you visited personally? Because the depiction you are giving is not true. You seriously have to stop watching Netflix. The USDA regulates cow milk production.
If an animal has mastitis, it cannot be used. Focus more on really understanding the circle of life. STOP with the bullcrap literally!
It makes you look bad. I dated a dairy farmer. They line up the cows. There is no testing of individual cows! Then the milk truck comes. They may test the whole batch, but no cows were inspected or tested at all. It was so so nasty. The do poop while producing the milk. Hopefully the farmer will clean the equipment, but cow after cow, I saw nothing cleaned with more than a water hose!!! But now cows live in factory farms where the conditions are deplorable.
Your standard is not theirs. They can have their rights when they stand up and petition for them. Good luck clawing your way up the evolutionary ladder — maybe some professional help would get you there a little faster. How fucking stupid are you? What, you make your living torturing animals and this is the best you can come up with?
You make me sick to my stomach. Commence the cursing and name calling. In other words, you have no argument that holds water. Else you would give it. Have you ever visited a factory farm? There are commercial dairy farms. And YES, I have been to several. How many? You have not answered my question.
And AI is much gentler than putting her with a bull. Yes, babies are taken away. But you know what? They are happy as long as you give them a bottle. They want to eat.
And since many vegans also have pets…where do you think we should get the food for that? Did you know that not all bull calves are turned into veal? Many get to live healthy lives on pasture until they are turned into beef. Yes, people eat dairy steers as beef. Dairy cows are allowed to dry up. They have to in order to store up calcium. They are NOT perpetually pregnant. Happy cows give good milk.
These cows are expensive and are an investment. The C-R-A-P you believe is just inaccurate. And the cow is not me. Do you have cows? Have you ever raised one? Do you know how cows feel? Because I think you live in the land of Muppets and cartoons. And you have been sucked into it.
I used to think and believe like you. Which is why I started farming in the first place…because I wanted to do things differently. You have no idea what you are talking about because all you have done is read articles on the internet.
Like you said. By talking to other farmers like you that think they also know how cows feel??? With way more nutrients than something that was meant to feed another species, not me. Nope, I just prefer cruelty free food — feels much better to not abuse animals while drinking a glass full of pus and bacteria… OH did we forget to mention the studies associated with milk consumption and cancer…yes, I do not have time to educate you on that.
I am not even bothering to read the rest of what you wrote. YOU are why people think vegans are nuts pun intended and make fun of them. You give the good people who practice veganism a bad name. You ARE ignorant. You need help. I hope you find it. So much hate in that soul of yours Holly, maybe is all that pus you are drinking…. Do the world a favour, and go play in the traffic. No one needs people with zero empathy or morals in this world. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. GFY, hope to hear about your farm in a news article. Ha ha ha…okay! You obviously have nothing factual or constructive to say, other than to insult. Sorry your feelings were hurt…lol. Go worship your cow now. Clearly, Billy the farmer is not a farmer, but an animal heretic.
This woman has stated point after point, while you and the vegan nut job have only attacked with words. I agree with Holly, too much TV and not enough face to face research. The internet is based on opinions, which is why your own doctor would tell you not to use the internet when researching. There is a real world out there.. God said that cattle is good for food Leviticus Stop playing God and just be man.
The author is correct in saying that Pus in Milk should not be the reason to not drink it. The motivating factor should be the knowledge that cows are raped, abused, their calves stolen from them and then both are murdered should be the real reason to abstain from dairy—you know like having a moral compass.
Pay special attention to the latter part of that definition which states puss is a buildup of dead white blood cells. Which the author admits are caused by infection. Thus meaning by definition there is pus in milk. In that case, her milk is thrown out. High SCCs may also act as a red flag for antibiotic residue violation milk with antibiotic residues is also thrown out.
I love milk. CAFO milk is all Ive ever known. Love the flavor, the mouthfeel, all of it. So is there pus in it? Gimme the pus. Why would you spend all that money on a hieffer just to kill it?
What like artificial insemination? Besides, did you see what that cow was wearing? A reasoned, evidence-based discussion by Dr. Immune system are used for what ppl? Say it with me to fight off infections! Right, u win the common sense award. Yeah, definitely research more. I know of farmer who put their pigs in with their dairy goats and the pigs actually chewed off the teats trying to get to the milk in the udder. Not true at all. It is time that human adults stop breastfeeding and also stop forcing their human babies to drink breast milk from other animals.
Its also time that humans stop killing baby cows and other animals so they can steal their milk. Time to wake up people and stop being selfish immoral assholes. You think you have a moral high ground that allows you to pay for these cruel practices to continue but really you just are contributing to a violent society that inflicts violent acts on the inhabitance of this planet. Anyone that promotes cows milk as a healthy food is deluded, ignorant and in denial that they are just addicted to protein shakes and dairy yogurt.
Try to leave your milk on a counter — you get a greenish, disgusting, indescribable liquid. Do it in Europe — you get a tasty buttermilk. Also the longest ever expire date speaks for itself. We do not have different kinds of cows just different methods of feeding them and injecting them….
I have multiple autoimmune disease processes and he had thought of me while watching. The milk thing…totally new. After a good six week with no change in any aspect of my health I decided to do more research about the milk claim. Then it depends on the cellular concentration of pus. Assuming the excess neutrophils drawn to the infected udder are pus-forming, 5 million divided by 4 million equals little more than a single pus-drop per cup though I guess that could mean as much as 2 or 3 per tall frosty glass.

Somatic Cell Counts in U. S Milk Because of the mastitis epidemic in the U. The average number of pus cells present in every millilitre of milk sold in the EU is , — which equates to one million cells in every teaspoon of milk.
It is currently unclear what this figure could rise to if the British legal threshold is raised post-Brexit. In addition to the allowance of higher levels of pus cells in dairy milk, post-Brexit, Britain may also allow the sale of meat containing hormones and steroids , crops containing pesticides and fungicides , some artificial flavourings, and one type of tallow pressed animal fat, often beef or mutton.
