Health Benefits of Raw Milk vs. Pasteurized Milk

What, exactly, is raw milk? Well, that's a bit tricky to answer because there's an incredible amount of variation in the product.

Ideally, it's cow's milk taken straight from animals fed only fresh, organic, green grass, rapidly cooled to somewhere around 36-38 degrees F., and bottled. That's it. No processing, just filtration, and cooling. Most milk produced today undergoes some form of processing before it reaches the consumer.
