Honestly I’m not conservative in any sense, but I think raw milk is better for you and tastes better. I’ve been drinking it since I was in high school and I’m much older now.
We boil the milk, use the fat to make butter and ghee, and use it to make yogurt as well.
I’ve drank the milk raw enough times and never had a problem as well though usually we do boil it before.
Less chemicals, preservatives, pasteurization in general leads to a healthier gut
