Raw Milk: Do Its Benefits Outweigh the Dangers?

The milk you drink is very likely pasteurized.
But prior to the introduction of pasteurization in the early- to mid-1900s, all milk was consumed raw in its natural, unprocessed state.
These days raw milk advocates argue that it has superior health and nutritional benefits and that pasteurization eliminates these advantages.
But is this true, let's take a look at the research.

I used to have terrible indigestion when I would drink milk from the store (like it was very normal for me to have diarrhea several times a week). We always thought I had a dairy intolerance. After I switched to raw Jersey cow milk I saw a HUGE difference in my health. And that’s the only thing I changed. So I’ve seen the benefits with my own eyes and am a major advocate for raw milk now. Pasteurized milk sucks. Plus it tastes weird to me now lol.

[@StrikeforceJedi]

I had a similar experience. Pasteurized milk made me feel like I was having a bad sugar rush, mixed with the runs. However when I switched to raw, I got none of those nasty effects. Plus like you said, raw is soo much more delish.

My speculation would be who funded the research on all those studies? Was it big dairy? Coke has studies showing that soda isn't unhealthy, because they fund the research. Also heating up anything like that would kill any vitamins and minerals. Yes raw milk and pasturezed might be almost the same in vitamins, but the vitamins in pasturezed milk are put in the milk via powered vitamins (Man made). Raw milk has all those vitamins but in their natural form.

I don't understand this who cares who did the study if its done correctly and there's no holes in it just because its the milk industry means its not good?

I don't mind drinking pasteurised milk but for as long as it's grass fed and preferrably unhomogenised. There isn't really much studies done to compare between grass fed and corn/grain fed milk except for that one study that showed better quality of fatty acids in grass fed milk.

update! :)

[@ElectricQualia]

1- the first study only tests for a few vitamins not for the entire nutritional value of the 2 kinds of milk. not to mention that no long term study or medium term study exists that compares health effects for milk drinkers of the 2 kinds. this study is a much a do about nothing. there is also the question of funding for these studies. 2- other than the question of funding, the study only tests for total break down of proteins and not restructuring of proteins. since testing for the latter would take hundreds of studies with little luck, best way to put it all to rest is to test health effects like i said in 1 in a long term, double blind , large sample study. 3- this is only a pilot study, but i'll give you this one, it has nothing to do with the crux of the debate. 4- fair enough, but that still doesn't disprove the theory of lower rates. 5- the so called 'dangers' drinking raw milk have been overblown and debunked thoroughly. illness due to non-diary conventional foods is orders of magnitude higher than illness from dairy, in absolute numbers you get like 40-50 cases every couple of years from raw milk. it's like the difference between .0000001 and .0000000000000001 both in the bigger picture are negligible. not to mention that most of that prolly comes from unregulated raw dairy. even hard skeptics like brian dunning admit that its not really dangerous to drink raw milk, the tradeoff could be well worth it. ultimately the jury is still out, on raw milk and it should be down to the individual to decide what works for them. my personal opinion i'd take the tradeoff any day of the week.

[@darkapothecary4116]

I prefer raw goat or cow as it doesn't cause lactose intolerance affects, room temp. Between that and a lot better skin, hair, and nails and far less problems with allergies than what I used to have I find it worth it. But as for danger your likely going to find more bad bacteria in pastured milk as your killing not only nutrition but bacteria that would attach a bad bacteria. If you get it from a licensed source you also have a raw dairy that gets tested every so often. But your loss not mine I will keep enjoying it. The only time I had to worry about salmonella and ecoli was where I was eating a lot of greens like spinach and lettuce. I got at least a few break outs of ecoli when I was testing a 'vegan' style diet years ago and I mainly ate unprocessed veggies and some fruits. Worst time for my freaking health and I have done the S.A.D diet before with less problems.

[@myhealthobs5290]

Erin May pretty amazing. We all carry small amounts of e.coli but other microbes keep it in check. The fibre from resistant starch typically feeds butyrate producing bacteria so Vegas should have helped you. Temperature and exposure to other microbes are what cause dairy bacteria to take hold and grow, some theorise low stomach acid lets more acidophilus through to the gut. If I was drinking raw milk I’d be making sure I was never far from civilisation, huge risk and for no real benefit. Now if you are after the taste of full fat milk (probably how most people perceive raw milks benefit) then I agree milk producers could do more to cater for that market

@@myhealthobs5290 I rather do raw milk it has made a big difference in my life. And that is why you get it from a licensed source. I could care less of taste I am interested in the nutrition.

@@myhealthobs5290 one thing you learn if you actually care for your health is to go in these studies and actually research yourself, see all the controls, situation, ect, and look into who is funding them. I find fallowing 'research' normally leads me into the hospital. Sense cutting to a medical keto or just raw diet I haven't been in the hospital once this year out of a bed bug problem. Research in general when it comes to nutrition is a laughing stock on all sides especially vegan or carnivore studies. Learn from people not big pharma who is already sitting in your wallet right now when you get sick. Always go behind video makes and look up the science yourself and if you want to look at research look at several sources to get a general idea. A good example are these new fight back 'studies' like coconut oil is poison or the eat your damn pasta articles coming back. They are fighting back now because people are fighting back and not buying their products. They have a thousand apun thousands of dollars industry that is about to kill over as is.

We buy raw milk everyday and have done for a decade. In that time we drank about 30000 litres of the stuff. We have never once been ill. When I asked the farmers grandmother whether it was safe she almost died laughing and said it was the most healthy thing to drink ever. I know from my own experience that there is something in it and I dont know what and dont really care which strengthens your immune system and promotes muscle growth. On top we buy locally because we support the local agriculture and I can see that the cows there are treated and fed well. If I buy in the supermarket I know that the quality won't be as good.

If milk comes from healthy cow eating healthy grass, roaming in healthy sun environment and you consume it within 4-5 hours, then its great to drink raw milk and that scenario is almost impossible. So, either don't drink or drink in small volume of pasteurized one. Treat milk as a luxury, then it may change the social infrastructure.
