What's All The Hype Around Raw Dairy?
Why it gets a bad rap, and what you need to know
Raw dairy gets a bad rap.
But when you actually look at the research…
It’s one of the most nutrient-dense, gut-healing, immune-supportive foods you can consume.
This is not “old wisdom” or internet hype.
It’s science.

Raw milk contains dozens of bioactive compounds that are destroyed during pasteurization.
These compounds—like immunoglobulins, lactoferrin, TGF-β, and enzymes—help regulate inflammation, support your gut lining, and even modulate the immune system.
One study found that kids who drank raw milk had fewer allergies, fewer respiratory infections, and better overall immune function.
Another study showed that mice consuming raw milk had dramatically lower inflammatory markers in their lungs.
It also plays a big role in digestion.
Immunoglobulins in raw milk support the good bacteria in your gut while calming the immune system so it doesn’t overreact.
And bioactive peptides help tighten the junctions between cells in your gut lining—directly helping with leaky gut.
The result? Fewer allergies. Better digestion. Less chronic inflammation.
You’ll hear people warn about pathogens, but that risk is largely tied to bad practices—not the milk itself.
As with anything, source matters.
If you get raw milk from a clean, well-run local farm, it’s far safer than the public has been led to believe.
And in return, you get a food that helps with:
Gut healing
Inflammation control
Immune modulation
Hormone health
Nutrient absorption
And even muscle recovery
For general health, a few glasses per week is enough.
Raw cheeses like Parmesan are also great.
Until next time,
