My ancestors, including my parents, drank nothing but raw milk. They died a lot younger than my generation from diseases like heart attacks and cancer.
They were also rolling around in asphestos and covering their bodies in DEET and around all other sorts of other Cancer causing agents that we don't use anymore.
Chemistry doesn't mean only chemicals on your ranch or garden.
Practically everything you interact with on a daily has an element that is the result of chemistry.
From the containers your condiments come in, to your non-stick cookware, to the additives in the cigarettes that you're exposed to second hand, to the cleaning products you use.
I never "blamed" raw milk. I just noted that my parents and grandparents had shorter lives and life expectancies. And my great grandparents had shorter expectancies than they. We ate very, very few processed foods and my parents even fewer. My grandparents almost none (beeman's chewing gum and hardtack for christmas?)
You may be right about raw milk. But as you noted there are additional factors. Perhaps working from sunup to sundown takes a toll.

.......what other things were they doing in life? Correlation does not equal causation.
Were they also smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day; eating a carton of twinkies a week; did they weigh 400 lbs; what?
There had to be SOME other contributing factor.....
Working. No cigarettes, no twinkees.
They were also rolling around in asphestos and covering their bodies in DEET and around all other sorts of other Cancer causing agents that we don't use anymore.
That time was the wild wild West of chemistry.
Born late 19th century and parents late teens of 20th. No asbestos. I don't remember chemicals on the ranch or in our garden.

I can't teach you how to think.
Keep blaming raw milk if you want.
Have a good day.
