However, I also know that not everyone has access to raw milk, and the benefits of yoghurt as a fermented food outweigh the problems with oxidised cholesterol. I do not advocate using powdered milk to replace fresh milk though. Most bought yoghurt contains powdered milk (labelled as milk solids), so if this is something that you would normally buy, making it yourself is cheaper and not any worst for your health.

Will make the gloop when I find my eucalyptus oil!

We used it to help thicken raw milk for making yogurt. This avoided the need to drain the yogurt to get a better texture i.e. less runny. But there is some research out there that puts a question mark over powdered milk because it is suspected of being a source of oxidised cholesterol. Using Google Scholar will lead you to some research material. The reason we grow our own food is to ensure its purity and its freshness to maximise nutritional value. This applies to milk based products and we always use raw milk. Most people don't have access to raw milk and therefore their challenge is to find affordable but healthy substitutes. For us food is measured by nutritional value and quality not just cost. When the question of price is raised we remind ourselves that food is medicine and long term health should be taken into account.JohnandJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506275036086045557noreply@blogger.com
