There is insufficient study to support the use of raw milk. There risk of infection in poorly produced milk is well known but milk from healthy herds may be safe.
Raw Milk Consumption
Risks and Benefits

........Claims related to improved nutrition, prevention of lactose intolerance, or provision of “good” bacteria from the consumption of raw milk have no scientific basis and are myths. There are some epidemiological data that indicate that children growing up in a farming environment are associated with a decreased risk of allergy and asthma; a variety of environmental factors may be involved and there is no direct evidence that raw milk consumption is involved in any “protective” effect.
There is insufficient study to support the use of raw milk.
I disagree, the table within the article I linked to you referenced 6 different studies. The dozen or so various pediatricians and nutritionists who have other findings are wrong because John A Lucey says so? What gives him the final word on the subject?

Note that with adequate study recommendations may change. This is, however, something for the future.
I stand by my comment that if the milk is processed safely by any method it should be a personal choice.
