CDC admits not a single person has died from consuming raw milk products in 11 years

[MM: Another No-Brainer here: Raw milk products are healthy (as Nature intended)—and the conventional, commercial varieties (pasteurized/homogenized) are disease-promoters...BINGO: The sick-care industry is a trillion-dollar "enterprise" that is greatly threatened by healthy people! GREAT NEWS: President Ron Paul will put an IMMEDIATE END to this illogical, Orwellian, fascist-police-state harassment from useless, parasitic "career bureaucrats"!!! SAY YES TO LIBERTY!!!]

Dear NaturalNews readers,

Despite all the fear-mongering and warnings about raw milk, the CDC has now openly admitted that not a single person has died from drinking raw milk in the last 11 years.
And yet, the government still criminalizes raw milk sales and "trafficking." Meanwhile, Big Pharma's drugs have created 40,000+ drug addicts in America while killing 200,000 Americans a year -- and they're still legal!

CDC admits not a single person has died from consuming raw milk products in 11 years
Wednesday, November 16, 2011 by: Ethan A. Huff, staff writer
(NaturalNews)--The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) refuses to acknowledge that, based on all available statistics, raw milk produced on clean, small-scale farms is actually far safer than pasteurized milk from factory farms. But the agency did admit earlier this year, after being pressed and warned of a potential Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request if it failed to comply, that not a single person has died from raw milk consumption in over a decade.

This may come as a shock to some who, because of all the propaganda about the alleged dangers of raw milk, are convinced otherwise, but it is true -- one of the two deaths often cited by the CDC as evidence that raw milk is dangerous was actually linked to the consumption of raw queso fresco cheese, which is currently outlawed by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And the other is likely linked to an adulterated raw milk product as well, rather than to raw milk.

After repeatedly petitioning the CDC for clarification about its questionable raw milk statistics and getting nowhere, Mark McAfee, owner of Organic Pastures Dairy Company (OPDC) in California, finally threatened to file a FOIA request to get to the truth. http://www.organicpastures.com/index.html Shortly thereafter, he received a response from an unidentified official at the CDC's information office explaining that the one "raw milk" death that occurred between 1998 and 2008 was actually linked to illegal raw queso fresco cheese.

The agency has not yet provided details about the other death, but it is likely that it, too, was linked to some adulterated raw milk product rather than to raw milk itself. If and when the agency finally fesses up to the truth about that case, it will also be inadvertently admitting that it has lied to the public for many years about the nature of raw milk.

The CDC's continual avoidance of talking about the much worse dangers associated with pasteurized milk further illustrates its raw milk bias. In 2006 alone, there were at least 1,300 people who got sick from pasteurized milk just in California -- and yet the CDC only talks about the roughly 39 reported illnesses every year in the Golden State that are alleged, but not necessarily proven to be, linked to raw milk.
