My sister-in-law in Milton Keynes has had a heart attack. My husband has
been reading up and it seems that drinking raw goat milk will help lower
cholesterol without drugs. Both she and my husband seem to think that it
is illegal to sell raw milk at all in the UK. Is that accurate?

It is perfectly legal to sell raw goats milk over here because goats do not
have TB ;)
HOWEVER its VERY hard to find because of our food safety regulations which
require pasteurisation when sold wholesale -- ie not to the end consumer.
You can only get it from the producer directly.
AND it is not a cholesterol lowering food -- oh but I wish it was. I love
goats milk.
It's lower in cholesterol than cows milk but its not GOOD for someone who
wants to really cut down their cholesterol
I wish it was - I miss our goats.

Soya milk, rice milk and such are the only ones which are cholesterol free.
but they are not cholesterol lowering either.

If anyone is looking for goats milk that is not in the supermarkets then try
the British Goat Society for any producers in your area.
