According to the Raw Milk Institute, "raw milk is similar to breastmilk: both are completely natural, fresh, and unprocessed milks. They both contain a wide variety of essential nutrients, fats, proteins, anti-inflammatory and digestive enzymes, bioavailable vitamins, and minerals, all in a natural form which is most easily utilized by the body." In addition, "Raw milk facilitates production of lactose enzyme in the intestinal tract, allowing many people who are lactose intolerant to digest raw milk with no problems."
Raw milk sold in Indiana must be labeled "Not for Human Consumption." Human beings have thrived on raw milk for thousands of years.
