Question
Hi Laurie
Melinda (eldist daughter) wants to feed Flynn (grandson) on the "Barley Formula for Babys".
We are reading from the small booklet titled "Children".
On page 29 the receipe calls for "10 ounces of homogenised milk". Apparently in Australia, it is law that all milk be Homogenised and Pasteurised before being sent to market shelves for sale.
Do we search for a supplier of milk which has not been Pasteurised.
Steve and Melinda
All milk is pasteurized all over the world, as far as I know. The distinction would be between skim (no fat) milk, 1% milkfat, 2% milkfat, or homogenized. Homogenized milk still has all the milkfat in it, but it has been blended in a fashion that the cream does not separate and rise to the top, so every galss of milk has the fat in it.
The reason this would be important is that milkfat is essential to baby health. It is a source of energy and essential linoleic acids. The fact of the milk being pasteruized (heated to 200 degrees briefly to kill all hostile bacteria) is irrelevant.
Sorry if I didn't answer this promptly. I never got an email notifying me of it until the system sent me a "nudge" today to answer the question.
Have a great day!
Yours,
Laurie.
