      I doubt that’s a problem with human milk. We have to pasteurize animal milk because the bacteria that is symbiotic to them is very dangerous to us.

          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.

                Have you actually talked to a microbiologist about this? It’s not safe at all.

                E.coli might have some harmless strains, but you have no guarantee which strain is present. It’s also not the only dangerous pathogen found in milk. Did I mention raw milk is often contaminated with bacteria from cow poo?

                Just because something is fine for a calf doesn’t mean it’s fine for you and vice versa.

                Edit: oh yeah and I live in England. We have decent food safety standards here and that’s why raw milk isn’t sold at supermarkets.

                  Raw milk is not sold at supermarkets because its shelf life is like one day. But you can buy raw milk directly from farmers or even from the Borough Market.

                    A shelf life of one day? You basically just admitted it has harmful bacteria in it by saying this.

              They didn’t though.

          Where I live raw milk is highly regulated. More than pretty much any other food. It’s extremely safe. I am sure on some places it’s a risk.

          And it does in fact taste much better than pasteurized milk. Pasteurized milk to me probably tasted like what canned milk would taste like to you.
