    Forget adults, humans in general shouldn’t be drinking cow’s milk. That’s the entire reason it needs to be pasteurized.

      If you drank the unpasteurized mixed breast milk of a hundred human women I almost guarantee you will get sick. Any body fluid, from both humans and mammals, is a huge health risk in its raw form. Infants are OK because they only drink from one and whatever disease the mom has, the baby is almost guaranteed to have already got anyway from the constant close contact.

      I thought the whole point of pasteurization was to increase shelf life, not make a product safe to consume.
