Raw milk enthusiasts say that it offers superior health and nutritional benefits and that processing eliminates these advantages. However, government and health experts disagree and advise against drinking it.

Milk is a nutritious food that provides protein, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.

Prior to the introduction of pasteurization in the early to mid-1900s, all milk was drank raw, in its original, unprocessed state.

With the increased appeal of natural, local, farm-sourced goods and the idea that raw milk is healthier, its consumption is expanding.

This article looks at the research to assess the benefits and dangers of drinking raw milk.




What is raw milk?

No heat or homogenization was used in the production of raw milk.

It is most commonly sourced from cows, but goats, sheep, buffalo, and even camels can be used.

Dairy products like cheese, yogurt, and ice cream can all be made with it.

As much as 1% of the U.S. population frequently consumes raw milk.




The pasteurization process

Heat is used in the pasteurization process to eliminate harmful microorganisms like yeasts and molds that could otherwise grow in unpasteurized milk. Additionally, the treatment lengthens the product's storage time.

High Temperature Short Time pasteurization, in which milk is heated to at least 161°F for 15 seconds, is currently the standard procedure in the United States.

Raw milk is often heated to 145 degrees Fahrenheit (63 degrees Celsius) for 30 minutes, another standard method used worldwide.

With UHT, milk is heated to 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius) for a brief period of time. In some parts of Europe, this milk is a staple.

The typical approach can keep milk fresh for 2–3 weeks, whereas the UHT method can keep it fresh for as long as 9 months.

Milk is homogenized after it is pasteurized, which is a process that uses high pressure to mix the milk's fats together so that they are more equally distributed and the milk has a better overall texture and flavor.




Common claims about the benefits of raw milk


They claim that raw milk is more nutritious than pasteurized milk because it retains more of the milk's natural nutrients such as amino acids, antimicrobials, vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids.

They state that it is a better option for people with lactose intolerance, asthma, autoimmune diseases, and allergies.

To combat a bovine (cow) tuberculosis epidemic in the early 1900s, pasteurization was implemented. Over a span of 25 years, tainted dairy contributed to the deaths of around 65,000 people.

Certain individuals believe that pasteurization is unnecessary because many of the pathogenic microorganisms that it eliminates are no longer a threat, such as tuberculosis.

Pasteurization, they say, destroys the health advantages of milk by destroying its nutrients.

These statements, however, are generally not supported by evidence.
