You might hear "raw milk" and wonder what that could possibly mean. You don't cook milk! But raw milk is real, and it's dangerous. Milk that comes straight from a cow, without being pasteurized, can contain harmful bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella. According to the FDA, raw milk is 150 times more likely to cause foodborne illnesses than other dairy products. The sale of raw milk at grocery stores is still legal in several states, so be sure that you're always buying pasteurized milk. Learn more about the dangers of raw milk.
