Very useful post.

I believe, based on my own research, that you are correct in the lies told about pasteurization. I don't think it is to protect us from disease at all, but to prolong shelf life, to maximize profit margins--regardless of any negative effects it may have to the consumer.

It's much like just about every other food product nowadays. Corporations have no regards for their consumers health, only for their shareholders profits. Worse than that, because it is the same unimaginably wealthy share holders that control the food industry that also control the pharmaceutical industry, it is in their best interests to diminish our health so that they can further increase their profits through our ill-health and apparent need for drugs.

Upvoted and resteemed.
