I'd point out that our co-evolutionary history with cow-milk is so comparatively brief and localized that it's unlikely to contain anything exotic that humans particularly need. Whatever mildly beneficial stuff raw-milk has in small amounts can probably be found from safer sources as well. Perhaps the ultimate contrast would be how we desperately require ATP from mitochondria. :p > McAfee told me that bird flu doesn’t worry him because the virus is “inactivated by the bioactives and the antibodies in raw milk.” That blend of bio-lies and bullshit reminds me of a widely-panned quote from an abortion context, where Todd Akin (Missouri Republican politician) stated: "If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." No, desperately wishful thinking isn't going to create a biological reality just because it would be politically convenient for you.
