Since the early 1930’s our government has been “protecting” us from the “dangers” of whole, raw milk. How do they do this? By actually killing the whole, raw milk by pasteurizing it!

Interestingly, pasteurization also increases the shelf life of milk, making it much easier to mass-market, maximizing profits for the dairy industry.

There might be something wrong with your inner tube, and it could be making you sick and fat.

You may not even realize you have a problem …but if you have health concerns of any kind or you are overweight, your inner tube could be the root cause.
