Adventistische Schriften über: "What does Ellen White say about raw milk?"

Ellen White strongly advised that milk be thoroughly sterilized or boiled before consumption, as animals are increasingly afflicted with diseases. She warned that raw milk could be a carrier of dangerous infections and that in the future it would be necessary to eliminate dairy products from the diet entirely. As long as milk is used, it should come from healthy cows and be made safe by heating.

Milk should be thoroughly sterilized

»If milk is used, it should be thoroughly sterilized; with this precaution there is less danger of contracting disease through its use.«

Warning due to animal diseases

»The animals from which milk is obtained are not always healthy. They can be ill. A cow may appear healthy in the morning and die before night. Then it was sick in the morning, and its milk was diseased, but one did not know it. The animal world is diseased.«

Thorough cooking as a safety measure

»There may come a time when it will no longer be safe to use milk. But if the cows are healthy and the milk is thoroughly cooked, there is no need to bring about a period of hardship in advance.«

Historical context of raw milk

»Raw milk in Mrs. White’s time was a carrier of many contagious diseases such as tuberculosis, dysentery, and typhoid. This may again explain why she stated that cheese was not a satisfactory food.«
