I grew up on a small dairy farm as well until I was about ten. We lost the barn to a fire and switched to grain/beef farming, my parents have always said our "stomach flus" became way less common once we stopped drinking raw milk.
Also this is an individualized view of health, raw milk should be illegal to consume as it increases the risk for all immunocompromised people in our society (which there's a lot more of these days due to COVID).
Yeah can’t argue with your anecdote, though it doesn’t match mine.
I also agree that raw milk shouldn’t be sold to the public as it’s a dangerous gamble, and capitalism dictates that its production will tend to be more dangerous than less.
