The udder truth
Raw milk really is a wonder tonic, say devotees, who meet secretly to buy it and swear it reverses chronic diseases. But is it safe to drink? The official word: No.

    If raw milk were such a dangerous substance, Europe's population would have been decimated a long time ago. In France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, etc..., people prefer to eat cheese made with raw milk rather than with pasteurized milk. (And they eat a lot of cheese.) The reason? The taste and the texture of the cheese is much better. The children prefer raw milk to pasteurized milk (it is a lot creamier).

    Try fresh goat cheese made with raw milk, then try fresh goat cheese made with pasteurized milk. One is delicious, the other is bland.

    I grew up on raw dairy products. The only time I ever got e-coli was from eating eggs... here in Manhattan.
