Growing up as a millennial, you got your gallon at the store and that was that. In grade school each year at least a paragraph if not a chapter was dedicated to the heroics of Louis Pasteur and his world renown life saving pasteurization discovery. But now, local dairy farms are offering raw milk, and I’ve a few friends who are swearing by it, as tastier, helping with digestion, skin issues, etc. but the CDC would lead me to believe if we buy raw milk we will all get E. coli and die . So just knowing that so many of you are leap years ahead of me on such subject. What’s the deal? Raw milk yes? Raw milk risky business?

Raw milk is good and tasty, so long as the farm is using good practices with the cows, as others in this thread have said... imo pasteurization has been used to excuse poor practices.
It is said that even Pasteur expressed a change of mind on his death bed. http://www.susandoreydesigns.com/insights/pasteur-recant.html
The work of Westin A Price suggests that milk, real milk, from happy cows that primarily eat green growing grasses provides some of the best nutrition for people, particularly for teeth.
Well geeeze , I have the worst teeth! I brush and mouthwash and eat reasonably and yet every 4 - 5 years I’ve got some sort of issue needing a root canal (I’m only 33) I’ve always just chalked it up to bad genes
You have a localized self-devaluation conflict regarding your teeth. "I have the worst teeth".
