Darn! I thought I read it thoroughly.

I know the organic purists demand unpasteurized and claimed pasteurization cause everything from heart attacks to hemorrhoids.

If raw milk was safe to drink for our grandparents in the early 20th century, why is it considered so dangerous to their grandchildren? I would try raw milk myself if it wasn't so dang cost prohibitive!

The above website is a point by point response to allegations by the FDA that raw milk has been proven to be unsafe. You can check it out yourself and decide if it makes sense. If the FDA truly believed raw milk was dangerous for human consumption, it would be outlawed. It is not. It must simply be labeled "Not for human consumption" and can be sold in many states. So they provide a "back door" for legal sale of a supposedly "dangerous" food product.

You left out toenail fungus ;).

To my understanding, raw milk is a healthy food, for those who can digest it (mostly of European descent.) Happily, I'm one of those, as I quite enjoy the stuff.

I would not recommend pastuerized milk to anyone, except in some emergency where that was the best available of a bad lot, and pasteurization was necessary to deal with milk of suspect origin (rather like boiling dirty water in a pinch.) The pasteurization destroys some of the healthy elements, and ruins the fats in milk, rendering them unhealthy.
