Is it necessary to boil milk?

We used to boil milk back home but here in the US of America I don't think we bother to boil milk. Is it because the milk here is really, really pasturised?

Overgrowing culture means to allow the yogurt to ferment well, untill that becomes really sour to the core. That yogurt will have pure bacteria that can be used further to make yogurt. This enriching the yogurt culture is done when the yogurt does not ferment well or when there is bad smell in yogurt.
Hope you understand.

hi, do not drink raw unboiled milk. i am a student at the university of illinois at urbana-champaign. i know a lot about the milk here. it is not a good idea. milk in the US is not safe to drink raw, even pastuerization is not enough they've found recently. i am american, but in india, people are so healthy becuase they boil the milk before drinking it and make fresh yogurt everyday.

We tolerate farmers who use poor quality feed (grain instead of grass) and frankly, run a dirty farm. Then we ring the "all milk makes you sick so let's homoginze and pasteurize it" bell. Guess what. We've been had here in the US! Because this way, the milk doesn't have to be of good quality. It's all mixed together and it's effectively dead. You can't see what when into it before it was processed. What progress.
Americans no longer know what a clean farm would look like --this generation is too conditioned to blindly follow "authority". If you know of someone who can show you a farm that is properly run, with grass-fed cows, and you can get safe raw milk from them -- what you've got is good as health gold.

Milk is as good as any natural food is. Drink it raw, drink it boiled, drink it in morning, drink it in night. Modern Science has no experience to say milk is bad, but humanity has 10,000 yrs of experience of drinking milk and staying healthy !

"Humanity has 10,000 yrs of experience of drinking milk and staying healthy"? That might be true, but what is even truer is we are getting further and further away from this precious 10,000 yrs of wisdom. In this wisdom, people did not feel cows with grains or corn; in this widson, people did not pasturise milk and killed all the good enzymes; furthermore, people of this good old tradition of drinking milk either raw or boiled did not know what chemicals, artificial hermones, sythesised furtilisers were.
The only reason milk, the modern poison, is still everywhere, is because the Modern Business wants it to be there.

i think milk is good both ways, boiled or not, but that doesnt mean it is as healthy as it used to be. I think they should give it to us fresh in stores, and not drain all the nutrients out of it.

Very good question, I am buffaled :))
as far as I know ppl boil milk to drink or even to make tea/coffee (which I love) only in India, Srilanka & all the ppl in asian sub continenet.
but in the west, ppl drink raw milk, which I enjoy to, like Smoothies, Milk shakes, ..etc.
It may be that, while boiling the liquid at 100c, it can kill many germs, but it may also take away the nutrients found in Milk, example Calcium & protein. I would say, listen to your body, which ever suits your body, follow that procedure.
I prefer Raw milk.

I'm not sure if i understand what to do.My husband works on a dairy farm milking cows,he is allowed to have all the raw milk he wants.He loves milk but when he drinks it raw it gives him stomach cramps.So my question is would it be better to boil it? And if so for how long?

I just heard that lots of people in Usa,esp kids are lactose-intolerant.(a substance found in milk)Is this due to the habit of these people drinking raw milk.In our place,old people always tell us to boil milk before drinking.cow's milk is not given to kids under 2.is there any truth in all this?
