raw milk ireland
This page provides links to lots of information on raw milk - it is worth bearing in mind that there has obviously been a lot more money and time available to the anti-raw milk campaign in that it is supported by large business worldwide.
There are also plenty of emotive statements made on both sides not backed up by scientific fact. So read and research, but as ever read with caution!
We have included links below to both sites which would encourage consumption of raw milk and sites who most certainly do not, including the pages of the health authorities who advise against consumption. We also link to lots of mentions in the press.
Above all else, our aim has always been to provide a balance of information and allow consumers to have an informed right to choose!
