Pasteurized vs unpasteurized milk

It's a matter of seconds. My throat starts to swell, and I begin to have trouble breathing (that seems unrelated to the throat itself.) It's a full-on allergic reaction, though not one that ever reaches anaphalaxis. (sp?) I don't get bloating or digestive issues with milk at all, or maybe I should say that the other symptoms are far more noticeable.

The individual who I mentioned is an old student I don't talk to anymore. Great 'food' for though, @arewenearlythereyet !

No worries, sounds like we will never know .....bit tricky to experiment though given your reaction! I guess you avoid all dairy so won't be able to tell whether it's whey or casein etc. I certainly wouldn't recommend drinking raw milk because of the micro risk...especially for folks like us.

Stanford did a study on this, which apparently concluded "Not true".
Even if a good study found that the average person was not allergic, some individuals still could be.
I use a good organic un-homogenised full cream milk
I am insanely jealous. When I was a child my grandfather had a Jersey milk cow (they produce the best milk) and we got milk from him.
Is brucellosis abortis a risk in unpasteurised milk and cheese products I wondered
I think (but am not sure) that brucellosis has been eliminated in the US. [To all the youngsters, brucellosis in cattle causes undulant fever in humans.]
