Raw milk -- raw eggs -- raw meat
There's a reason we pasteurize it. It can kill you. Consider E. coli alone: even in the cleanest, most modern milking operation, there's a lot of poop flying around.
That being said, "Milk" in the gallon in the store is a pale shadow of what it was coming out of the cow. Much of the fat and other elements have been stripped out to make other dairy products--so much so that the "fat " is added back in, along with vitamin supplements, to reach the 2% or 3.5% or whatever. "Whole Milk" is not really truth in advertising.
Why not just pasteurize raw milk for safety, then leave it otherwise intact?
