Emulsifiers are not looking good for intestinal health.

Milk with added vitamins is probably the worst offender for emulsifiers in the Ray Peat world. The worst part is that apparently you don't have to include the emulsifier on the label for the product.
This is from the US Department of Health, Pasteurized Milk Ordinance:
"TYPE OF CONCENTRATES AVAILABLE
A number of different types of concentrates are available. All contain vitamin D and/or vitamin A palmitate with a carrier consisting of any of the following: butter oil, corn oil, evaporated milk, non-fat dry milk, polysorbate 80, propylene glycol and glycerol monooleate. It is best to store all concentrates under refrigeration unless manufacturer’s directions indicate otherwise. To achieve adequate dispersion, viscous concentrates should be brought to room temperature before addition."
On the milk label it just says: Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin D3. What a scam.
I was hoping that the farmers cheese making process got rid of the emulsified vitamins but it appears like it does not.

We have a relatively new local milk here in Austin: MillKing. It is un-homogenized, 1% fat, low-temp pasteurized, no added vitamins or other crap. Half of the time it is completely sold out of the stores while the ultra pasteurized garbage milk sits on the shelf gathering dust. I was drinking MillKing but then stopped months ago due to cost. My thyroid appears to have already improved since I switched back to it a few days ago.
