What are your thoughts on Raw milk?

With the current hot topic of ultra-processed food, and trying to reduce this. Mainly for healthy reasons. I am considering switching to raw milk.
Upon googling lots of advice why not to do this, especially for children.
I have seen that it can have lots of health benefits if sourced from a reputable raw milk farmer.

I’ve had it in France where a man in a van refilled your bottles , it was SO delicious! My husband was horrified, I suppose I wouldn’t drink it regularly unfortunately.

If you want to die of TB, switch.
If you don't, don't.

I think anyone doing it to get on the hippy tiktok earth raw organic mother trend, at the risk of killing themselves, is quite frankly a blithering idiot.

I would be worried about bacteria tbh. E. Coli, brucellosis etc.
Pasteurisation was a huge leap forward for public health. I'm not sure it counts as ultra processing by any definition I've seen.

Are you serious? Just no. Pasteurized milk has plenty of health benefits. Do not risk killing yourself.
