No, it's never perfectly safe. Not even if you personally care for the cow it came from. Pasteurization is a very important procedure, and there's a shitload of historical data to back that up. You can definitely do so and probably not get sick. But calling it perfectly safe is not at all true.

But they don't analyze the milk's bacteria content. The cow might be healthy but its stomach bacteria is not compatible with that of a human.

Milk and milk products provide a wealth of nutrition benefits. But raw milk, i.e., unpasteurized milk, can harbor dangerous microorganisms that can pose serious health risks to you and your family.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from 1993 through 2012, there were 127 outbreaks linked to raw milk or raw milk products like ice cream, soft cheese, or yogurt. They resulted in 1,909 illnesses and 144 hospitalizations. CDC points out that most foodborne illnesses are not a part of recognized outbreaks, and for every illness reported, many others occur.

Deadly Disease Caused by Raw Milk Has Already Put 19 US States on High Alert
CARLY CASSELLA15 FEBRUARY 2019
Officials in the United States have warned over and over again that raw, unpasteurised milk can carry dangerous and potentially deadly bacteria.

Today, however, it seems like that information is falling on deaf ears. Disease outbreaks caused by raw milk are on the rise, and a new warning from the Centres for Disease Control and Infection (CDC) has now set 19 states on high alert.


And it goes on and on and on.....

144 hospitalizations over 19 ****ING YEARS?

OH MY GOD WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll bet your ****ing face mask has a face mask, doesn't it?

I’ve had some and I agree it tastes better than pasteurized milk.

BUT: 1) it is a pain to get;
2) regulations vary from state to state about its legality, which ties in to #1, so it might be much harder to get in one state than another;
3) it does carry risks and you should be aware of those risks. Milk fever is not fun.

On a side note, every year I make egg nog the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It involves milk, cream, eggs, spices and booze. One year, I made my egg nog with raw milk, thinking that: 1) the taste would be better, and 2) the alcohol would kill any germs. It tasted like I made egg nog with Parmesan cheese. It had a really interesting aged cheese/nutty flavor that in another context would have been a good match for some wine. But you really don’t want that in your egg nog. So, that year, no egg nog.

TL;DR version is: whatever your take is on raw milk, don’t use it to make egg nog around the holidays.

What are the risks associated with drinking raw milk?
Raw milk is milk from any animal that has not been pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria. Raw milk can carry harmful bacteria and other germs that can make you very sick or kill you. While it is possible to get foodborne illnesses from many different foods, raw milk is one of the riskiest of all.

Some people who chose raw milk thinking they would improve their health instead found themselves (or their loved ones) sick in a hospital for several weeks due to infections caused by germs in raw milk. Getting sick from raw milk can mean many days of diarrhea, stomach cramping, and vomiting. Some people who drank raw milk have developed severe or even life-threatening diseases, including Guillain-Barré syndrome, which can cause paralysis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome, which can result in kidney failure, stroke, and even death.

You would really risk that over......................................................milk?

I grew on a farm, you pussy. I've had milk straight out of a cow plenty of times.

Would I seek it out now? No. Always preferred what grandma referred to as "town" milk.

But I am scared of it? No. Nor lots other things that sent people in a country of 300,000,000 people to the hospital 144 times over the course of 19 years.

Grow a pair.

Educate yourself son, ok?

Raw milk has been consumed for centuries. As long as it comes from a ‘clean’ farm it is perfectly safe. I get it from a local farm that specializes in raw dairy, they make their own kiefer, butter etc as well organically raised pork and chickens.

I agree that it would not be safe from a commercial farm that has their cows wallowing in their own shit and stuffed in pens eating questionable foods.

You should believe everything on the internet especially YouTube.

One of my grandfathers was a dairy farmer. Drank plenty of raw milk as a kid. Nobody in our family ever got sick. That being said, I haven’t had raw milk in over 20 years and the risk, no matter how slight, doesn’t seem to be worth it now. It does taste better though.

Food Safety and Raw Milk

Raw milk is milk from cows, goats, sheep or other animals that has not been pasteurized. Pasteurization is the process of heating milk to a high enough temperature for a long enough time to kill illness-causing bacteria contained in milk.

What are the risks of drinking raw milk?

Raw milk can carry harmful bacteria and other germs that can make you very sick. While it is possible to get foodborne illnesses from many different foods, raw milk is one of the riskiest of all. Getting sick from raw milk can cause diarrhea, stomach cramping and vomiting. Less commonly, it can lead to kidney failure, paralysis, chronic disorders and even death.

Raw milk and raw milk products (such as cheeses and yogurts made with raw milk) can be contaminated with bacteria such as Brucella, Campylobacter, Listeria, Mycobacterium bovis, Salmonella, Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, Shigella, Streptococcus pyogenes and Yersinia enterocolitica.

Who's at risk of getting sick from drinking raw milk?

Any person of any age can get sick or even die if they drink raw milk that is contaminated with harmful germs. The risk of getting sick from drinking raw milk is greater for infants and young children, the elderly, pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems, such as people with cancer, an organ transplant, or HIV/AIDS.


When I see TONS of stuff telling me how dangerous drinking raw milk can be I'm not..........just **** it here ya go son have some raw milk.
