Please understand I'm not dunking on you, here. A lot of people are promoting the stuff, whether for mercenary reasons, or rote contrarianism, or because they've become True Believers; and obviously I don't know your daughter or her beliefs/influences on the matter. If you're interested, you can reach out in a private message and I can find some more links for you that either emphasize the science or actively debunk the main handful of bad-faith arguments that favor raw milk. 

Now that's really something.  I had to Google how you were "not dunking on" me.  Never heard that one before.  No, I'm not dunked upon.  

 

Actually Ed lived on a farm until he was 6 or 7 and was raised on raw milk.  I lived in an apartment in Montreal and have always loathed drinking milk.  Still in his mid-eighties, Ed could not have a cookie or a piece of cake without a glass of milk (always pasteurized).  Yuk, I say.  

 

Our daughter lives as far off the grid as she can in downtown Toronto....she'd much rather live on the farm...and we actually live as far off the grid as possible in the middle of nowhere.  And now Ed actually drinks oat  milk.  Again I say yuk.

 

So I did read all the source material and have never tasted raw milk and have no intention of ever doing so.  Thanks for going to so much trouble on my behalf.
