An alarming 14% of raw milk samples taken from states with dairy herd outbreaks contained infectious H5N1 bird flu, according to new
The results were published in a preprint paper, which has not yet been peer reviewed by external experts for scientific rigor. However, the paper has sparked a significant response from experts around the world, reiterating the dangers of consuming raw milk.
The new results come amid a new survey released today which shows that less than half of U.S. adults know that drinking raw milk is more unsafe than drinking milk that has been pasteurized., run by researchers at the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania from June 7-10 this year, asked over 1,000 U.S. adults their beliefs about raw milk, finding that only 47% of respondents knew that raw milk was less safe to drink.
The survey also found that 20% of respondents weren't sure how effective pasteurization is at killing viruses and bacteria and 4% thought it was"not too effective" or"not at all effective." Adults who were 65 or older and/or college educated were more likely to understand the benefits of pasteurization and also correctly believe that pasteurization does not destroy nutrients in milk.
