Calves Fed Pasteurized Milk Die Within 60 DaysPasteurized milk, not having any beneficial bacteria or enzymes, eventually rots. So the irony of pasteurization is that it actually destroys the germicidal properties of milk. Experimental animals deteriorate rapidly on pasteurized milk. For instance, calves fed pasteurized milk die within 60 days, as shown by numerous experiments.
So why do we pasteurize milk? 1) It extends the shelf life of milk from five days to several weeks and 2) It enables the farmer to have lower standards of cleanliness. The standards for certified dairy herds and milk handlers of raw milk are considerably higher than for herds whose milk is to be pasteurized.
