Actually, that's not true about lactose intolerance. Yes, it's genetic, but from this link:

Q: I'm lactose intolerant. Can I drink raw milk?

A: Chances are good that you may, even if you're of African or Asian descent, assuming you can find a reliable source near your home. Unheated milk contains its full complement of enzymes and lactase-producing bacteria needed by our bodies to break down and assimilate the milk sugar lactose. These helpful bacteria are killed in the pasteurization/homogenization process. Fermented milk products, such as yogurt and kefir, naturally lower in lactose due to the actions of various Lactobacillus and other lactic acid-producing bacteria, may be better tolerated by some.

If you google 'raw milk & lactose intolerance' you'll find lots more to study.​

Sorry, far more people get sick and even die from all other foods, including processed dairy, then from raw dairy.

Apparently not unless there's cows involved.

This is a very interesting thread and I really appreciate all of the differnt opinions. I would love to find a farm where I can try both raw cow and goat milk before I jump in and get a goat or cow for my family.

Most likely because a very tiny fraction of people drink raw milk as compared to the huge number of people consuming the other products you mentioned.

Control the food, you control the people.

By Doreen Hannes, Missouri farmer:
"I want to tell you how I found out about NAIS (National Animal Identification System) in the hope that you will see how disturbing this is and why we have to fight it with everything we have. In July of 2005, I went to a meeting at the Ava Missouri Sale Barn regarding a new electronic cattle identification program that was to be mandatory in January of 2006 in order to sell cattle in the State of Missouri. Yes, January of 2006. Dr Taylor Woods, a member of the NAIS Subcommittee, was the one speaking. He never said what the name of the program was, nor offered any website where one could go for information. I asked a couple of questions and then made a statement. That statement was, "It sounds like you just want to have complete control of the food supply." Dr Woods replied, "We already do."

Raw milk, small farms, and self-sufficient folk are the antidote to overbearing control. Gov't knows this and doesn't like it. Raw milk is a food; do you know of any other foods that are abjectly banned? Why is sushi legal to sell and eat, or raw eggs? It has nothing to do with the 'greater good', but everything to do with nanny-statism.

Well that's good news as I'm allergic to red dye... and so are a LOT of other people... sounds like that would have just been them TRYING to make people (like me) sick (via pretty much untraceable allergic reaction) so they could prove how harmful that milk is... yeesh.
