Dairy is one of the most controversial foods in modern nutrition. In this evidence-based deep dive, we examine whether humans are actually meant to consume cow’s milk, how dairy has been used throughout human history, what lactose intolerance really means, and why raw and traditionally produced dairy behaves very differently than modern processed milk.

Raw milk is one of the most debated “real food” topics online. In this video blog, I break down what the research and public health data actually show about risk, why some people tolerate raw dairy better than pasteurized milk, and how modern standards (like RAWMI-certified farms) are changing the safety conversation. If you’ve only heard fear-based headlines, this is the evidence-based context most people miss.
