Consumers weigh the claim of health benefits against the risks of consuming raw milk
Briefly

from www.npr.org2 months ago
People drink raw milk for many different reasons. Some is to support local farmers. Some report taste differences, that it's more creamy, for example, than pasteurized milk. And then, of course, there's a lot of common misconceptions about the health benefits.

What we've seen is that unpasteurized milk doesn't have more nutrients than pasteurized, right? We have a meta-analysis, which is about 40 separate studies pooled, that found only minor losses in some nutrients, like B1 and B6. But these nutrients are low in milk generally, and we get them from other dietary sources.

Another common misconception is that raw milk is better for those who are lactose intolerant, and the evidence also doesn't show this.
