The raw milk thing is funny to me in a semi-morbid way i guess, i find it for sale all over the place and more expensive then just regular, even organic, whole milk. Pasteurization doesn't seem to be some evil ultra-processing of milk, it just kills bacteria that can make you sick. There's no preservative or other additives that i'm aware of. Pasteurization just doesn't seem like something anyone would get worked up about but here we are.

Well the thing is that they want the enzymes and bacteria that pasteurization kills. There is limited (but existing) published research that shows the naturally existing enzymes aid digestion and immune function.

Back about 15 years ago before it became a weird culture war issue, my sister, who had a diagnosed casein allergy (casein is the main protein in milk), found that she could consume raw milk without any adverse effects.
