Florida surgeon general supports raw milk consumption despite 21 infections

[Zorro]

Joseph Ladapo says he supports consumption of product labelled for animal consumption only.

Under Florida law, raw or unpasteurized milk can only be sold for consumption as pet or animal food.

Since it’s not made to be consumed by humans, it also means the state is limited in how much it can regulate sanitation standards at dairies that sell unpasteurized milk.

Yet, on Tuesday afternoon, the state’s top health official took to social media to support the consumption of raw milk, which has become a health fad in recent years.

“Floridians have the freedom to make informed health choices,“ Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo said in a post on X. ”I support the decision to consume raw milk when sought for potential health benefits and protective factors. Be aware of your source and know the risks."

And this moron is Florida's Surgeon General, the state's leading health expert.

3. Are there any proven benefits of raw milk? I've never seen it

And if there are any proven benefits, are they worth the risk? Informed decisions require more than just reading on the Internet. They also require education. What the hell is wrong with this surgeon general, politics should never be part of medicine

5. Raw milk proponents claim that some nutrients are destroyed during pasteurization

The risks outweigh any perceived benefit IMO. I have in the past drank raw milk, but it was from a single cow and not a large dairy operation.

4. Why is the US political system like a car?

Because when you want to go forward you choose D, and when you want to go backwards you choose R.

6. Ladapo is also a "double dipper" -- DeSatan got him a cushy, six-figure job as a

"researcher" at the University of Florida. News stories report that he and his research are rarely seen.

7. As my son said

Consume all the raw milk you want to. Less idiots around.
