Raw milk poses significant health risks as it hasn't undergone pasteurization to kill dangerous pathogens, including bacteria and viruses that can cause serious illness. Recent animal studies suggest the bird flu virus could be dangerous if consumed in large quantities through raw milk. The CDC confirms that pasteurized milk provides the same nutritional benefits without these health risks.
Raw milk consumption has gained support from prominent figures who advocate for consumer choice and natural food options. The movement has grown significantly, leading several states to legalize raw milk products, with supporters arguing against what they view as excessive regulation of natural dairy products.
