Please don't drink raw milk
Pasteurization is simply a process where milk is heated to a high temperature for a length of time to kill the majority of bacteria.
It massively reduces the risk of listeriosis (a type of bacterial infection) and increases shelf life. There are literally no downsides. It's a simple safety measure that's existed for over a century now.
And please please don't feed it to infants and young children, they can and do die from listeriosis. Also don't have raw milk products if you're pregnant as it can cause miscarriage for the same reason. Same goes for anyone with weakened immunity.
