Pasteurized Milk and Such Being A Great Benefit

My great grandmother was just a few weeks shy of 100 when she passed away, and the majority of my relatives on both my Mom's and my Dad's side of the family all lived well into their 80's and 90's. It is only recently that we are seeing chronic health problems (not related to advanced old age), and a sudden appearance of autoimmune diseases. I agree about pasteurized milk and such being a great benefit, but I do think that certain additives and preservatives are not good, and I think refined foods are worse. And, if I had any doubts, they would have been put to rest by the college research I did over two semesters following Cornell, Johns Hopkins, and other major medical studies. That was an eye opener, even though I thought I had a good understanding of how nutrition affects disease beforehand. (Not so much!) I don't know the book or article being referenced, though. Or was it an article?

Problem is your great grandparents would not have recognized an avocado or an artichoke among thousand of other wonderful foods. They would have recognized a host of foods we now consider unhealthy, and would have probably used lots and lots of lard. This fellow's advice is silly. The principal fallacy here is that processed foods are inherently evil. I believe I will go for pasteurized milk over raw milk myself.
