The issue of raw milk is heating up again as various reports suggest that lawmakers are looking to crackdown on the booming popularity of raw milk products that continues in the US and elsewhere. They are worried about the risks posed by raw milk, officials from numerous states have issued repeated warnings about the dangers of drinking unpasteurized milk and the CDC suggests that disease outbreaks are on the rise as a result of the growing prevalence.
Advocates for raw milk freedom insist that it's time for the government to get out of making decisions over what we eat and drink and returning that liberty to the individual; let people decide for themselves what they are willing to eat and drink. But those in favor of a raw milk crackdown insist that defenders of raw milk are focusing on liberty more than they are health.
Still, you'll find numerous healthcare professionals who insist that even extremely healthy individuals can suddenly become very sick or possibly die from consuming contaminated raw milk.
