My first and foremost issue with powdered milk is that it is processed beyond the necessary. There is no reason for me not to use the real deal. In 'Nourishing Traditions' by Sally Fallon, it is mentioned that powdered milk contains damaged cholesterol which "appears to promote both injury to the arterial cells as well as pathological buildup of plaque in the arteries". She goes on to say, in reference to powdered milk, that commercial dehydration methods oxidise cholesterol...rendering it harmful to the arteries. High temperature drying also creates large quantities of cross-linked proteins and nitrate compounds, which are potent carcinogens, as well as free glutamic acid, which is toxic to the nervous system." The source for the last quote is referenced as Samuels, JL., "MSG Dangers and Deceptions", Health and Healing Wisdom, Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundtion, 1998, 22:2:28. See also www.truthinlabeling.com If you're still reading my long winded response...I have used lots of cheeselinks cultures, including yoghurt and have found them to be great. Cheeselinks are a great company to deal with too. Good luck finding a farm. I used to have one but they stopped selling at the gate and I miss it terribly. Hi Gill and welcome.

Just discovered your website and love it. I wonder if you could tell me what the health issues are with powdered milk. Is it carageenan? or soy lecithin? I currently use easyyo, but suspect 'normal milk' would be better. But then again, its 'normal' pasturized, homogenised, At least its full fat! Have you had any experience with yoghurt culture from cheeslinks?I have a pack it the freezer but have yet to try it. Maybe I firts need to find a farm with real milk. thanks Hi !

I use a tablespoon of the previous batch and a litre of milk and prepare it in the thermomix (can also be done on the stove top) and then let it set in the thermos.
