To: Tolerance Sucks Rocks
"...arguing that there are big risks to drinking fresh milk and that it brings no benefits over the pasteurized version."

That statement is factually incorrect. Pasteurization removes key digestive enzymes from the milk that allows people who are lactose intolerant to digest the milk without issue.

It’s possible to put the chief digestive enzyme, lactase, back in. But the result is weirdly, almost sugary sweet tasting milk if it has sat a few days in the icebox. The same would probably be true of the raw milk if kept like that.
