The FDA is very clear on its position on raw milk calling it, “inherently dangerous.” Proponents of raw milk claim all kinds of health benefits. Check it out for yourself and come to your own conclusions. Who would have thought that milk could be so very controversial. Check out this video on NPR for more information on raw milk.
