Study: Unpasteurized farm milk - less asthma and hayfever

[Juhana Har]

Consumption of unpasteurized farm milk is associated with
reduced occurrence of asthma and other allergies in a new
European study conducted in five countries.

of farm milk consumption with asthma and allergy in rural and

Background Dietary interventions as a means for atopy
prevention attract great interest. Some studies in rural
environments claimed an inverse association between
consumption of farm-produced dairy products and the
prevalence of allergic diseases, but current evidence is
controversial. Objective To investigate whether consumption
of farm-produced products is associated with a lower
prevalence of asthma and allergy when compared with
shop-purchased products. Methods Cross sectional multi-centre
study (PARSIFAL) including 14 893 children aged 5-13 years
from five European countries (2823 from farm families and
4606 attending Steiner Schools as well as 5440 farm reference
and 2024 Steiner reference children). A detailed
questionnaire including a dietary component was completed and
allergen-specific IgE was measured in serum. Results Farm
milk consumption ever in life showed a statistically
significant inverse association with asthma: covariate
adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.74 [95% confidence interval
(CI) 0.61-0.88], rhinoconjunctivitis: aOR 0.56 (0.43-0.73) and
sensitization to pollen and the food mix fx5 (cut-off
level of >/=3.5 kU/L): aOR 0.67 (.47-0.96) and aOR 0.42
(0.19-0.92), respectively, and sensitization to horse
dander: aOR 0.50 (95% CI 0.28-0.87). The associations
were observed in all four subpopulations and independent
of farm-related co-exposures. Other farm-produced
products were not independently related to any
allergy-related health outcome. Conclusion Our results
indicate that consumption of farm milk may offer
protection against asthma and allergy. A deepened
understanding of the relevant protective components of
farm milk and a better insight into the biological
mechanisms underlying this association are warranted as a
basis for the development of a safe product for
prevention. PMID: 17456213

Unpasteurized milk may also reduce the risk of Crohn's disease
and ulcerative colitis.

Am J Gastroenterol. 2006 May;101(5):993-1002. A
population-based case control study of potential risk factors
for IBD. Bernstein CN, Rawsthorne P, Cheang M, Blanchard JF.
University of Manitoba Inflammatory Bowel Disease Clinical and
Research Centre, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.

BACKGROUND: We aimed to pursue potential etiological clues to
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) through a
population-based case control survey study. METHODS: Cases
with CD (n = 364) and UC (n = 217), ages 18-50 yr were drawn
from the population-based University of Manitoba IBD Research
Registry. Potential control subjects were drawn from the
population-based Manitoba Health Registry by age, gender, and
geographic residence matching to the cases (n = 433).
Subjects were administered a multiitem questionnaire.
RESULTS: By univariate analysis, some of the variables
predictive of CD included lower likelihood of living on a
farm, of having drunk unpasteurized milk or having eaten
pork, and UC patients were less likely to have drunk
unpasteurized milk and to have eaten pork. On multivariate
analysis, variables significantly associated with CD were
being Jewish (OR = 4.32, 95% CI 1.10-16.9), having a first
degree relative with IBD (OR = 3.07, 95% CI 1.73-5.46), ever
having smoked (OR = 1.54, 95% CI,
1.06-2.25), living longer with a smoker (OR = 1.03, 95% CI,
1.01-1.04). Being a first generation Canadian (OR = 0.33,
95% CI, 0.17-0.62), having pet cats before age 5 (OR = 0.66,
95% CI, 0.46-0.96) and having larger families (OR = 0.87,
95% CI, 0.79-0.96) were protective against CD. For UC being
Jewish (OR = 7.46, 95% CI, 2.33-23.89), having a relative
with IBD (OR =
2.23, 95% CI, 1.27-3.9), and ever smoking (OR = 1.62, 95% CI,
1.14-2.32) were predictive. CONCLUSION: This study
reinforced the increased risk associated with family
history, being Jewish, and smoking history, however, a
number of significant associations with CD and UC on
univariate and multivariate analysis may support the
"hygiene hypothesis" and warrant further exploration in
prospective studies. PMID: 16696783

There is way more CLA in grass fed organic farm raised food
which is probably what causes this.

real food =3D real health.

Processed food =3D not so great health

really processed food =3D really poor health

We evolved consuming animal products. There is nothing wong
with animal food products from healthy properly raised animals
with minimal processing.
