The Journal of Natural Food and Healing is sponsoring an informal Raw Milk Survey. So far, 1030 responses were received (from Dec 1 to Dec 20) of which 85% were raw milk drinkers. Here is a summary of the findings so far.
Health Benefits (of 877 raw milk drinkers)
74% have much health benefit

What all responders said about pasteurized milk:
62% believe it has long-term health effects
15% say it makes them very sick
40% say it tastes terrible
30% say it upsets their stomach
16% say it gives them diarrhea
And 53% say they will not spend their money to support the Milk Monopoly hurting dairy farmers
They will pay more for raw milk than for pasteurized
35% will pay double
26% will pay triple
16% will pay 50% more

53% will use herdshare programs where groups own a share of the herd
24% will disobey the law
11% will probably disobey the law
Only 3% will stop providing raw milk and obey the law
7% have to think about what they would do
79 responders said they would promote the survey on their website or blog. 348 would promote the survey by posting it on Facebook, twitter, discussion lists on the internet. Thanks to all of those that are helping to get the word out.
The survey is still on going. If you have not done so, please take the one-minute survey.

The beauty of this survey is that it shows so many people are willing to go outside the mainstream, outside their doctors & pharma to find answers to their health problems.
Typical “science” (for lack of a better term) and intrusive laws do not stop people from searching where their health is concerned.
More & more people’s b.s. meters are going off from the flood of nonsense we’re bombarded with. I find it refreshing!
Great survey and good to see so many responses.
We are now starting to see television commercials and the like promiting live cultures and probiotics. The big companies know the health benefits of raw milk and that our mission is unstoppable. I am sure they are behind the protest against raw milk sales. I do not have anymore gastrointestenal acid reflux after drinking raw milk and related raw products.

if only people were educated on how many health benefits there are to raw milk more people would be using it no matter what the cost!
