North Carolina state epidemiologist Jeffrey Engel, MD, told the Greensboro News Record today that,

"Raw milk is a product of animals, and as such, is much more likely than apple cider to be contaminated with animal pathogens that can make people sick."

Except animals, especially deer, love to hang  out and crap in apple orchards,

My mom is 90 and she remembers when they would take a cup and get fresh milk from the cow. As a youngster there was cream, she remembers churning milk and even ice cream for a really special occasion, you couldn't save it. I guess I have to tell myself God gave them healthy cows..? The neighbors did the same thing that had cows.They raised all their own veggies, fruit, butchered hogs, cows, sheep, chickens or other fowl, such as doves. They all survived and why is it today people are getting so sick not just from milk but other food products? Didn't they have the same germs 90 years ago?
