Question: Are there any benefits to drinking raw, unpasteurized free-range cow's milk? -- Anonymous
Answer: Well, a friend of ours would say the weight loss that comes from a few days of vomiting and diarrhea. Drinking raw, unpasteurized milk is like playing Russian roulette. Somewhere down the line, you're going to get a bellyful of bacteria, like salmonella, listeria and E. coli, which will put you in a world of hurt. And the elderly, small children and people with impaired immune systems could face life-threatening complications.

BLOOMINGTON - The automobile age revolutionized nearly every aspect of American life, and by the end of World War II the internal combustion engine had supplanted flesh-and-blood horsepower in all but a few areas. One such holdout in Bloomington-Normal was door-to- door milk deliveries, which as late as the mid-1940s were still made using wagons pulled by "Old Dobbin," a common nickname for work horses.
Milk wagons in the Twin Cities date to the last decade of the 19th century when drinking milk finally became a regular food habit. Prior to that, few families without children purchased milk. Some city residents had their own cow, and some may have bought milk from street vendors, but the market for home deliveries did not exist until the late 1800s.
