Fun fact: nearly 40% of all foodborne illnesses were caused by raw milk consumption. Pasteurization has reduced that number down to less than 1%, except in places where raw milk consumption is still allowed.
- Been only buying organic milk for 10+ years now out of preference, it stays fresh for much longer than normal milk. This is because USDA Organic milk is ultra-pasteurized in almost the same way as shelf-stable milk.
  I searched and found this article and they reported that there's virtually no difference in nutrients between the options:

  So if all the nutrients are the same, the only difference in less pasteurization is more bacteria. Fuck that!
  
  I think it definitely affects the taste though doesn't it? I prefer the organic ones that are vat pasteurized due to that reason, ultra feels sweeter to me.
  
  It pretty much always tastes like good fresh milk to me
- Legal in the UK, fucking read a book.
