Fat is the base material for the production of many hormones. If you suddenly add lots of fats to a previous low or moderate fat diet, you are bound to get a temporary hormonal unbalance. Your hormonal production will skyrocket, and your body won't handle it in the beginning, so you might get some problems like eczema or acne. You have to increase your intake of fat gradually in order for your body to adapt to it. It takes time.

I really doubt that the real cause for your condition was suet, especially if it came from a healthy animal.

I have been experimenting with raw milk for the past year. Once a week I get two gallons of raw milk from a farmer that is still warm from the milking. He milks 4 cows by hand. Pretty awesome little farm.

I bring the milk home and put it into a roaster oven that will maintain a temperature of 98' approx. If I add some of the last batch of yoghurt and leave it for 24 hours I have yoghurt. The longer is sits the more sour it gets. Pure and simple. Predigested and symbiotic. Lasts a month or longer in the frig.

If I add a couple of rennet tablets instead of yoghurt in a couple of hours I have raw cheese. Seperate the whey, wrap in cloth, weight it for a day and I have this fantastic cheese. I rub some salt on it, dry it at room temp for a day and it will last indefinately at 50'. Gets better with age.

The leftover whey is probiotic and makes a refreshing drink. It is also good in my perpetual stock pot. If I have lots I feed the plants in my garden.

Previous post is right on. There is naturally occuring beneficial lactobacillus bacteria in grassfed unpasteurized milk. I do not really need to add yoghurt to make yoghurt it will occur naturally, just takes longer. Pasteurized milk putrifies and stinks.

The government stepped in to require pasteurization about the turn of the last century when businessmen started taking the dairy cows off the small farms and putting them in feedlots by breweries to eat the spent grains. Filthy conditions and an unnatural diet resulted in bad milk. Large dairies today still keep their cows in terrible conditions with unnatural diets.

Join the Price-Pottinger Foundation to preserve our heritage. They  fight for raw milk rights.

Do they also require homogenization in Iceland?

Cooked animal fat is about the worst kind of food for me to eat. The taste is repellent, it makes me far more nauseous than any other kind of cooked food, with a hangover-like effect occurring afterwards.
