Milk Soap Makers, Your help is needed

[TeriDk]

Hi milk soarers. There is a proposal to the FDA to allow artificial sweeteners in milk and other dairy products without it be labeled as such. If this is unacceptable to you, please submit comments to the FDA at http://www.regulations.gov/#!submitComment;D=FDA-2009-P-0147-0070. Here's more info http://tanaamen.com/blog/item/the-s...f2cb7f6ebef862f414ce10fb9a275551828e99dfab44e

Please comment today. Thank you.

Ew yeah. I had milk in Australia and it is way sweeter then ours. Gross if not dangerous.

Hopefully the sweetness came for the grasses the cows ate and not some lab.

It's not just artificial sweeteners, there's talk of "thinning" out milk with other milk like substances!? Milk will become like processed cheese product. Can you imagen disclaimer's on a jug of milk for heaven's sake? I'm thankful for my dairy goats!

I live on Long Island NY. I can get fresh milk here. Thank goodness

We DON'T have artificial sweeteners in our milk.

I have4 a friend with goat's, but I am guessing with his household that he uses most if not all of it, or sells the leftovers. I might ask him about it after I get things going well with regular soaps.

I also have a friend with goats, none of them dairy goats....yet. He's in SC, and said that it would be a pain to freeze and ship it to me in NY. I am just gonna have to keep on making the suggestion. LOL wear him down. *evil grin*

Yeah, I can see his point there, shipping from SC would be a bit of a pain. The friend I have is a homesteader about half an hour away from me. So, I could go pick it up if they had any to spare. There are likely places closer to you to get some, and it may be cheaper to buy local then to pay for shipping from SC.

I so dislike this statement from the article:
"What’s more, the dairy industry claims that adding stealth chemical sweeteners to its products—including whipping cream, eggnog, sweetened condensed milk, low-fat or non-fat yogurt, sour cream and half-and-half—would “promote healthy eating” and make dairy foods more enticing to kids!"

That's so disturbing. I thought our country was pushing the sugar-laden drinks out of the hands of kids to help with childhood obesity?
That is not the way to make dairy foods more enticing to kids. Getting the parents to eat healthier dairy foods and refusing to regularly buy the sugary foods would be a lot more successful.

I'm suppressing the urge to go on a crazy rant. But I will say I agree 100%
