Source and purity of milk?
16:66 And indeed, for you is a lesson in the cattle. We give you drink from what is in their bellies, from between bowels and blood, pure milk, palatable to the drinkers.
(Some non-Muslims wrongly say that milk is not pure, while the Qur’an says “pure milk, palatable to the drinkers”. An answer to non-Muslims’ objection is that the pure milk is the raw milk (aka unpasteurized milk), because that’s the way the milk is, after milking the cow or cattle. If you eliminate bacteria, then it is not pure milk, because that’s not the way milk was. So, bacteria is present as part of the milk, (e.g. lactobacillus, streptococcus, bifidobacterium, enterococcus) , and are beneficial to health (e.g. help people with lactose intolerance digest milk, etc). Quoting the article “bacteria and raw milk, a very healing food” in the website “thewholejourney(dot)com”, “If you are lactose intolerant when drinking pasteurized milk, it’s likely you will not be lactose intolerant when you drink raw (unpasteurized) milk”. So, bacteria are part of the pure milk, because milk with bacteria is the drinkable and palatable one for lactose intolerant people too)(Pasteurization of milk was introduced to kill harmful bacteria due to contamination because of unclean practices in production, handling and packaging, not because of the milk itself; that is supported by the article “pasteurization” in wikipedia: a short time period between production and consumption minimizes the disease risk of drinking raw (unpasteurized) milk. As urban densities increased and supply chains lengthened to the distance from country to city, raw (unpasteurized) milk (often days old) became recognized as a source of disease)(So, the “pure milk” (with friendly bacteria) is drinkable for everybody, including the lactose intolerant people, while the pasteurized milk is not drinkable for the lactose intolerant people. And if the milk is pasteurized, it is because people did not consume the milk right after drawing the milk from the cattle. So, it is people’s fault or ignorance, not because of the milk itself. So, the Qur’an is in accordance with science)(Sources: the article “raw milk benefits” in website “wellness-with-natural-health-supplements(dot)com; the article “pasteurization” in wikipedia; the article “bacteria and raw milk, a very healing food” in “thewholejourney(dot)com”)(In regard to the sentence “from between bowels and blood” (16:66), the cattle digests grass which passes through the intestines (bowels), where all the essential nutrients the cattle needs are absorbed. Nutrients from the grass turn into milk. A lot of blood must travel around cattle’s udder to deliver the nutrients and water for making milk. So, their blood is continually traveling around their udder to help with milk production)(Source: “How cows make milk” in the website “dairy(dot)edu(dot)au”)(Allah knows best)
