Why RAW MILK Does Not Cause DIGESTION ISSUES, NATURALLY (Pictures for Easy Explanation)
NO PROCESSING = EASY TO DIGEST
One of the leading questions we are asked when sampling our delicious raw milk at events is, “can I digest raw milk?” It is overwhelming just how many people have a sensitivity to processed milk. Stomach cramps, bloating, discomfort, and other commonly noted symptoms are what consumers say they feel when they consume processed milk. Why? (We will get to that below) This article was written to start a bigger conversation that needs to be had! Raw milk does not cause digestive discomfort or milk “negative digestive reactions”. Basically, when someone drinks raw milk… they are able to enjoy their glass with ease.
SO, SO MANY “MILK ALTERNATIVES”
In America, there are hundreds of milk alternative brands that claim that those who are sensitive to dairy products can easily consume their products without digestive issues. What they are NOT telling you is how processed the food is or how altered the ingredients are remaining inside the product. Below is a chart that compares raw milk to the MANY milk alternatives that are commonly found in the dairy case marketplace:
A wide variety of HIGHLY PROCESSED non-dairy milk alternatives have become popular over the past decade, including:
Almond milk: Made from almonds, this plant-based alternative is lower in calories and fat than cow’s milk. *Most retail brands are fortified, standardizes, sweetened, preserved, thickened, hom*ogenized, artificial flavors, and pasteurized.
Coconut milk: This tropical drink made from coconut flesh and water has a creamy texture and mild flavor. *Most retail brands are fortified, standardizes, sweetened, preserved, thickened, hom*ogenized, artificial flavors, and pasteurized.
Cashew milk: Cashews and water combine to make this subtly sweet and rich substitute. *Most retail brands are fortified, standardizes, sweetened, preserved, thickened, hom*ogenized, artificial flavors, and pasteurized.
Soy milk: Contains a similar amount of protein as cow’s milk and has a mild flavor. *Most retail brands are fortified, standardizes, sweetened, preserved, thickened, hom*ogenized, and pasteurized.
Hemp milk: This alternative is made from hemp seeds and provides a good amount of high quality, plant-based protein. *Most retail brands are fortified, standardizes, sweetened, preserved, thickened, hom*ogenized, artificial flavors, and pasteurized.
Oat milk: This substitute is very mild in flavor with a thicker consistency, making it a great addition to coffee. *Most retail brands are fortified, standardizes, sweetened, preserved, thickened, hom*ogenized, artificial flavors, and pasteurized.

When choosing a nondairy milk substitute, keep in mind that many of these products contain added ingredients like sweeteners, artificial flavors, preservatives, and thickeners. If possible, stick to unsweetened varieties to limit the amount of added sugar in your diet.
The human gut is simple
When you take all things into account, the human body is very resilient. Even when you consume highly processed foods your body will more than likely “put up with it” for a while before it starts “falling apart”. When you feed your body processed, denatured food it will react and send you signals of discomfort. Over long periods of time; however, the body builds up health issues and major digestive problems. This is what has been reported to us over and over at events from consumers.
What Are The Health Benefits? What Would Happen If You Drank Raw Milk Every Day?
The nutritional profile of whole raw milk is impressive. After all, it’s designed to fully nourish newborn young. Adults sustain excellent health when they consume at least 3 cups of whole raw milk, every day.
Just one cup (240 mL) of whole raw cow’s milk contains:
Calories: 150
Raw Protein: 8 grams
Raw Fat: 8 grams
Calcium: 30% of the RDA
Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA
Iron: 6% of the RDA
Raw Milk is an excellent source of bio-available vitamins and minerals, including “nutrients of concern,” which are under-consumed by many populations (Source).
It provides bio-available calcium, which is lacking in many diets (Source).
Raw Milk is also a good source of vitamin A and iron.
Additionally, it’s an excellent source of protein and contains hundreds of different fatty acids, including conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) and omega-3s (Source).
Conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids are linked to many health benefits, including a reduced risk of diabetes and heart disease (Source, Source, Source, Source).
Raw Milk from cows that eat mostly grass contains significantly higher amounts of conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids (Source).
Also, grass-fed cow’s raw milk contains higher amounts of beneficial antioxidants, such as vitamin E and beta-carotene, which help reduce inflammation and fight oxidative stress.
Raw Milk Is For Everyone
Many people can’t tolerate processed, pasteurized milk because they’re unable to digest the damaged lactose, a sugar found in processed milk and dairy products.
