Raw milk fits well into the “natural food” category that some people on here like to promote, but I just can’t recommend it for the following problems:
1. Any “probiotics or beneficial bacteria” are mogged to death by yogurt and keifer in probiotic concentration. And raw milk has a 150x higher risk of foodborne illness than pasteurized milk.
2. Any allergy or asthma-reducing effects are confounded by other variables in the studies examining them, and are only correlational.
3. Raw milk is not more nutritious. Any breaking down of micronutrients/vitamins in the pasteurization process is usually just a very slight amount of Vitamin C and B (which milk is not a good source of anyways). Protein, calcium, vitamin D ( what ppl drink milk for) are all intact.
Infant mortality and foodborne illnesses dropped dramatically after pasteurization was invented. Why not drink ultra-filtered milk instead, which has amazing macros? And if you don’t want to support the dairy industry, there’s nothing wrong with simply pasteurizing it yourself at home. But its retarded to ignore this life-saving invention of pasteurization.
