Why is this “Unsafe” Food Banned When It’s 35,000 Times SAFER Than Others?

Data collected from U.S. government websites, along with government-sanctioned reports, show that the risk of contracting foodborne illness by consuming raw milk is actually much smaller than the risk of becoming ill from other foods.  The information was reported in the Summer, 2011 issue of Wise Traditions, the quarterly journal of the Weston A. Price Foundation.

About that 3 percent of the U.S. population, or 9.4 million people, consume raw milk. And the number is on the rise -- in California, for example, sales of raw milk increased 25 percent in 2010, while sales of pasteurized milk declined 3 percent.

According to the Healthy Home Economist:

"... [P]ublished reports of illness attributed to raw milk from 1999 to 2010 [found that during] the eleven-year period, illnesses attributed to raw milk averaged 42 per year ... [Y]ou are about thirty-five thousand times more likely to get sick from other foods than you are from raw milk".

Why is the Media Ignoring this Presidential Candidate? A Personal Interview

Dr. Ron Paul earned his medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine in 1961. He’s been a U.S. Congressman (TX) since 1997, and is now running for President of the United States for the second time. He recently authored the book Liberty Defined: 50 Essential Issues That Affect Our Freedom. Here, he discusses the concept of liberty, and why every American should be concerned about maintaining their health freedom, as well as his ideas for how to solve the still-looming debt ceiling problem.

In the recent Iowa Straw Poll Michelle Bachman came in first. That fact was reported by most of the national media. However, in an incredible display of conformity bias, virtually all of the major media blacked out the fact that Rep. Ron Paul came in a virtual tie with her. There was less than 1 percent difference between them, yet he was completely ignored by all the major media. 

The New American Reports:

“The glaring hypocrisy of the "lamestream media" commentators in pretending to be objectively reporting on the event while blatantly censoring Ron Paul out of existence was too much for liberal comedian/commentator Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's in a recent episode of The Daily Show.

In the last video above, Ron Paul explains his positions to Judy Woodruff, including his stance on raw milk, which comes up at 10:03 in the interview.

Deficiency of This Vital Mineral May Result in a Shorter Life

Low serum magnesium levels have been connected with the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. This link exists independently of other common cardiovascular risk factors, according to research.

A recent study postulated that, since left ventricular hypertrophy has significant prognostic implications, serum magnesium levels might be associated with cardiovascular mortality.

According to the study, as linked by Green Med Info:

"Mortality in subjects with [magnesium deficiency] was significantly higher for all-cause deaths ...and cardiovascular deaths ... This corresponds well with recent findings that hypomagnesemia is associated with the increase of left ventricular mass over the following years."
