The man is off ALL of those. He would be in crippling pain and on the floor when he had a flair-up and at one point I thought he was having a heart attack at a young and trim 30. Reflux is scary! He has not had *one* since going with raw pastured milk. I don't know where we'd be without it. To each his own; I agree!!!

On the subject of raw milk...If it works for you and you like it...Drink it! Either you believe in raw milk or you don't. One thing is for sure...People should have a choice to drink or eat what they please. I have been drinking raw milk for over a year and have nothing to say but good things. Raw milk does have A LOT of nutritional benefits...Someone who has suffered from Crohns disease for 6 years can tell you raw milk has saved my life. I love raw nut milk too. It's all great and it's all a heck of a lot better than the crap you buy in the grocery store! Nut milk is a great alternative if you are wanting to try something new.

I found some information, and I think it is right. At least it is what I wanted to say but wasn't sure. I think you *shouldn't* soak not-raw nuts, at least not for very long periods of time. If they're not raw, they won't germinate. Long soaking is actually a germination -mimicing process that neutralizes enzyme inhibitors. If a nut won't germinate anymore (because it has been cooked) then the soaking will just cause it to spoil. Now there are organic almonds that are H20 pasteurized (steam) for just a few seconds that will still germinate. Those are fine to soak. Nuts, including almonds, which are pasteurized with chemicals are among those that are likely to spoil in long soaking periods. What is a long soaking period? I'm not sure. I would suggest a few hours, rather than 7 to 8 or overnight. Your other question -- smelling slightly yeasty. Is this after soaking or did you make the milk with unsoaked almonds? Natira — Okay!

Just reminding you to please check about whether i need to soak nuts that are not truly raw and if almond milk is supposed to taste and smell slightly yeasty. Thanks for all your hard work.

I know they are not the best but I want to use them up before I buy raw ones. Do I still need to soak them even though they are not raw. I soaked overnight and made almond milk a few times and it comes out ok but it smells and tastes yeasty. Is that how it is supposed to smell and taste? I did not add sweetener or anything, just almonds and water. My almonds are not raw or organic, they are Kirkland ones from Costco.
