    People were drinking unpausterised milk for thousands of years. The risks are minimal.

      Not really. Even old fashioned farmers boil their milk. Almost all milk contains dangerous bacteria regardless of what the safety standards are; this is because things like e.coli are natural for cows but harmful to us humans. Like imagine defending a practice that can literally kill you or give you life long digestive problems.

        Fun fact, e. Coli is a family of bacteria, most of them are harmless to humans. They are even a part of many diet supplements.

        Also I don’t know where you live and what your food standards are, but here in Europe you can drink raw milk quite safely and there are plenty of raw milk products like cheese. It’s literally a non issue.
