So, when you consume raw milk, the lactase enzymes will do the work for you, alleviating your body of a very unnatural, and difficult chore!
Raw milk is chalk full of other enzymes that serve specific functions in helping your body digest and utilize all of the natural properties that come in the raw milk--yes, even the natural fats! Nearly every single enzyme is completely deactivated during pasteurization. THEN, as if that weren't bad enough, all of the natural probiotics and other good bacteria are destroyed in the process as well!"
