This is true. Even though Edsel had terminal stomach cancer, many sources say that Edsel actually died of fever brought on by the bacteria in the milk. Henry encouraged that Edsel drink the unpasteurized milk from the Ford farm thinking it was a natural cure for Edsel's condition. Henry thought if Edsel would just change his lifestyle he would be fine.
