And humans have been domesticating animals for 10 to 20,000 years. We've been using raw milk and making it into cheeses or fermented milk, which is known as kefir in Bulgaria and other countries, and yogurts. And these are often associated with great longevity or health benefits.

But it's only really in the last 120 years that we've been doing things that are pasteurized with regard to dairy because we moved off of farms into cities.

And when we moved into cities, those of us from farms still wanted to drink milk, but people were getting sick drinking raw milk that was produced in a city in the early 1900s because the cows were being milked in sub-sanitary conditions and the cows were sick because they were being fed swill, which is the spent grains of alcohol fermentation.

So the introduction of pasteurization certainly was probably a good thing originally in terms of milk because a lot of milk was contaminated because it wasn't produced properly. It wasn't produced in the cleanest conditions. And when you're milking a cow, for humans, we probably should clean the udders and make sure that if the cow poops, that doesn't go into the milk.

And now there is this resurgent interest in getting back to consistently intentionally produced raw milk. Can humans do that? And so when I look at the literature, it's quite fascinating because there actually have been studies done comparing raw milk to pasteurized milk. And there are multiple studies that show that kids who grow up on or off farms

drinking raw milk have lower rates of asthma, eczema, and allergies. That's interesting, right? You might think, oh, it's because they're on the farm, they have the microbial difference from the farm, but even kids who grow up in cities drinking raw milk have lower rates of asthma, eczema, and allergies.

Now, is it that the pasteurized milk is causing the allergies and the eczema, all of those things that I had personally, or the raw milk is protective? It's probably some of both. But I think when I look at the literature around raw milk, and there's a robust literature around raw milk, and raw milk is many immunologic components.
