What is the second best option? Yoghurt?

Pam,

I have a shopping guide from the Weston Price Foundation. They have a list of "second best" in the milk department. They suggest full-fat, not homogenized, grass-fed milk. If you can't find that, try to get organic milk that isn't ultra-pasteurized. Failing that, I'd probably only eat cultured dairy--yogurt and kefir.

Good luck! We're so lucky right now to have raw milk available at a good price.

Susan

The milk Susan described is sometimes called "creamline." You might try calling local dairies to see if they carry it (since I know the dairy here that does--not every store that carries their stuff carries this kind). Sometimes you can order by the crate and get a better deal (this milk is more expensive at the store than the raw milk I get!).

Vat pasteurized is another key word.
