1. Raw milk enjoyers experience significant reduction in allergies, asthma, and hayfever

2. Raw milk alters gut microbiome so that glucose is better metabolized – preventing metabolic syndromes like diabetes and insulin resistance.

3. Raw milk heals the intestinal lining and “leaky gut”.

4. Raw milk rebalances the gut microbiome toward “good bacteria”.

5. High quality raw milk is healing for mammals, as mammalian milk is our perfect “first food”.

6. High calcium to phosphorous ratio of grass fed milk lowers cortisol and fights stress-related disease.

7. Grass fed raw milk is a rich source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K – especially important for growing children and fertile women.

8. On average, one bottle of raw milk contains over 700 different strains of bacteria – better than any probiotic you can buy.
