Well, it does have a lot of different hormones in it, in low amounts, but 
they must have some effect --- if one looks at the increased breast, 
ovarian and prostate cancers from dairy consumption, and the increased 
IGF (insulin like growth factor) measurable in dairy consumers. I 
assume the hormones might be even more active in raw?

As to Debbi's comments about Brucellosis, who knows if it was real or 
not but farmers have learned a lot since then and raw milk farmers are 
very conscientious. While various errors are found all the time with 
commercially processed milk, there is no proven incidence in say the 
last decade from organic dairy farms (there are accusations that get 
media attention but that end up to be unproven and unlikely). One 
actually has to raise healthy cows if they can't use antibiotics regularly.
