00:00There's a growing international social media trend encouraging people to drink raw milk.
00:09But in Australia, selling unpasteurised milk for human consumption is illegal.
00:15Social media based health misinformation is rife and this can lead to increased engagement.
00:21So there's a benefit for the content creator to put out information that might not be accurate
00:26because it kind of gives them traction on social media.
00:29Milk is being sold in Australia as bath milk, not fit for human consumption.
00:34But that fact is being ignored by influencers, spruiking it as being better than pasteurised milk.
00:40If it says not for human consumption on the label, then people are able to sell it.
00:44And this is sort of this loophole for people to buy it and consume it.

01:16But if you happen to drink some of it, then you can get the benefits as well.
01:21What they haven't really thought through is, you know, the mom of the poor toddler or child who maybe dies from the milk consumption or other illnesses, aged people or people who are in weak immunocompromised groups.
01:35Dwindling profits on dairy farms have made the sale of raw milk as bath milk an attractive option.
01:41They want to increase the returns from the farm. That's really what's motivating them.
01:46While bath milk products are being sold in Australia, the dairy industry is strongly urging farmers not to sell raw milk.
01:54A cautionary tale to keep milk drinkers safe.
01:58A????
02:07When the milk are mostly for water, it is often reported that most waterramội can't run through the streets to pleasantünealyea.
02:12So this enables you to serve the organic food and food.
