Here is a balanced look at the pros and cons at the product itself http://www.realmilk.com/health/raw-milk-...ized-milk/
This is only 1/2 the story though, because milk does not come from a vacuum.
The other 1/2 is the health of not only the animal it comes from but all of the other animals out of the heard who's milk is mixed in with your milk. I saw a thing on things like milk, hamburger,and other things where animal products are combined to make or portion out a consumer sized product. In some cases they said their can be over 1000 different animals being represented by one gallon of milk. The reason we pasturize is because we can not definitively account for the health of all the animals involved in bringing the dairy they make to market.
So yes there are benfits but the risk far exceeds the reward.
If you have a dirt footed hippy friend who knows the animals his milk is coming from then he is right. If the milk supply that feeds the rest of the country stopped being pasteurized, then we might as well prepare ourselves for a zombie outbreak.
