I encourage you to consume as many unpasteurized products as possible. Then get back to me on how that worked out.

Hey. None of your f****** business. Why don’t you go lecture a two year old.

The lack of exposure to dirt, germs, assorted molds and pollens and sterilizing everything and anything has led to more harm from allergies and depressed immunity than judicious use of the wonders of medical science and historical antibiotics.
Our bubble world is killing us.

If the the crony-capitalists of the big-government/big-corporate criminal complex don't want you bypassing them for your dairy products, they will not be bypassed.

Capische?

Well ... it worked out pretty well, I think. I have news for you, FRiend. I wasn't raised in the city. I climbed trees. Picked up snakes. Caught field mice. Swam in ponds. And ... I've drank milk right from the bulk tank. Other than a remarkable difference in taste, it's just not that big a deal.

PASTEURIZED milk has been the source of many widespread outbreaks. A total for some of the documented outbreaks due to PASTEURIZED milk over the past few decades is 239,884 cases and 620 deaths.

The nation’s largest recorded outbreak of Salmonella was due to PASTEURIZED milk contaminated with antibiotic-resistant Salmonella typhimurium. The outbreak, which occurred between June 1984 and April 1985 sickened over 200,000 and caused 18 deaths. Disturbingly, the CDC did not issue a specific Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report for this outbreak; information must be gleaned from other reports published in the FDA Consumer and the Journal of the American Medical Association.

A 2004 outbreak in Pennsylvania and New Jersey involved multidrug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium infection from milk contaminated after pasteurization.

Despite numerous outbreaks due to pasteurized milk, neither the FDA nor the CDC has ever issued a warning against consuming pasteurized milk. Pasteurization is not a guarantee; pasteurized milk is not sterile. The FDA permits the presence of up to 20,000 bacteria /ml and 10 E.coli/ml in milk after the pasteurization process has been completed.

Because pasteurization destroys probiotics (good bacteria), any harmful bacteria present in the milk after pasteurization can and will flourish. On the other hand, published research shows that good bacteria and many other components in raw milk actually destroy pathogens added to the milk.
