blood cells) is in milk? A white cell is a white cell.
is the FDA trying to cover up by trying to misleadingly tell us what is and what isn't considered pus?
The dairy industry knows that there is a problem with pus in milk. Accordingly, they have developed a system known as the '''somatic cell count'' to measure the amount of pus in milk. The somatic cell count is the standard used to gauge milk quality. The higher the somatic cell count, the more pus in the milk..
The FDA allows Individual producer of milk to have ''Somatic Cell Count'' not to exceed 750,000 per mL. GRADE "A" PASTEURIZED MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS AND BULK SHIPPED HEAT-TREATED MILK PRODUCTS Temperature................ Cooled to 7°C (45°F) or less and maintained thereat. NOTE: Milk sample submitted for testing cooled and maintained at 0°C (32°F) to 4.4°C

Pus= countless dead white blood cells (neutrophils) some body fluid and dead cells plus a helluva lot of blotted macrophages, both dead and alive.
Pus is produced from the dead and living cells which travel into the intercellular spaces around the affected cells.
I'm sorry to tell you that another way to describe white cells where they don't belong would be to call them pus cells. While the use of the word ''pus'' is admittedly pejorative, it is nonetheless an appropriate word.
Why does the dairy industry and the FDA feel the need to come up with this somatic cell count in the first place, if there is no concern regarding pus?
