My great-grandparents drink nothing but raw milk as far as dairy, and they lived to be into their late 90s so it can't be that bad for you. I drunk it quite a few times when visiting, straight from Butter (the cow). Other than the odd after taste I don't see the problem. Though they always said don't give it to babies.

I'm lactose-intolerant so raw milk would probably make me combust spontaneously.
I prefer almond milk anyway.

This whole debate is needless. Let's just make human breast milk socially acceptable for adults to consume. Just think of the good it could do. Prostitution would no longer be the only way women could sell their bodies and it could bring families closer together.

I have seen what is on those teats and what comes out when a cow has mastitis or is going dry(not that we normally milk those cows in the line). It is much better pasteurized...
Yea I don't drink milk anymore, but I will still eat cream cheeses(its too good to give up) on my bagel, and yogurt.

I think that raw milk is healthier than pasteurized milk. I don't drink raw milk, but I think that how healthy it is compared to pasteurized milk mainly depends on things like what the cows were given, how they were fed, how they were raised, and how the milk was collected. Therefore, not all raw milk are the same.
The advantage of pasteurization of milk is that it kills a lot of pathogens and bacteria. However, it also kills a lot of beneficial bacteria, vitamins, and digestive enzymes.

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

I read somewhere that pasteurization reduces vitamins and minerals found in raw milk, but I suppose you are correct.
