The real issue with pasteurizaton of milk (since diet and nutrition came up) is that it increases your chances of getting Alzheimer.s (sorry, apostrophe button is not working atm) by about 30% (for adult males). Pasteurization as a technique of food processing is problematic; as related to germ theory, it is simplistic but mostly accurate.

"The climate of the body determines the state of the cells. Change ph and you change the cells."
This is exactly right. It would be ridiculous and medically irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

I would point to the so-called mechanisms involved in any medical debate to help solve problems between theories. It is equally important to have clarity about the terms being used. Different and apparently competing theories are often trying to describe different processes. The immune system of an average, healthy person is strongly affected by diet. In some cases, pasteurization of food is harmful; in general, the chief worry is that it denies the body the aopportunity to develop a stronger immune system because it kills off stuff that can be used by the body for such purposes. However, pasteurization often prevents otherwise dangerous germs from entering the body. So there are clear and distinct advantages and disadvantages to pasteurization of food. If you can drink fresh unpasteurized (organic) milk then it is probably going to be better for you than drinking pasteurized milk. That is more or less obvious if you know the science behind what happens to milk on the way to your drinking glass. That being said, wide-scale distribution of fresh unpasteurized (organic) milk is a tricky matter. My advice might be to get a goat if you have a fair amount of property, take care of it, and use its milk. I try to eat a healthy diet and I have spent years reading up on diet and nutrition. I consider that a matter of responsibility to myself. I hope everyone will take the time to learn about healthy eating and make informed choices based on that research
