There was a comment made about not drinking raw non-pasteurized dairy. That it’s as good as a death sentence. This baffles me because I grew up on a dairy farm in Poland in the 90s. Non-pasteurized milk is all I drank during my childhood. Sometimes straight from the cow while it was still warm. I have never gotten sick from the milk nor has anyone I know. I also remember hearing that pasteurizing dairy kills most of the healthy probiotics and micro-organisms in it. That’s why modern dairy has far less nutritional value and health benefits to it.
Now I live in Canada where non-pasteurized dairy is illegal to sell. There is a noticeable difference in the quality and taste of the milk. Not for the better. So back to the “death sentence” comment. What am I missing? Are American cows toxic that’s why the dairy has to be pasteurized?
