Microbial protection against pathogens is virtually eliminated "following the pasteurization of milk".

Just discovered this in my current search re Pasteur & pasteurization history.

"Another serious consideration is that our indigenous microbiota protect us in different ways against potential pathogens. Thus, the elimination of the natural microbiota following the pasteurization of milk creates a sterile and hence a highly hygienic medium that could not be more vulnerable to colonization by a potential pathogen. Raw milk on the other hand harbors a large number of different micro-organisms providing only a small niche for the potential pathogenic invader to occupy, as do the various ecosystems that are internal to the human organism such as that of the mouth or the gut."[1]

“We are, as whole healthy humans, composed of thousands of microbial species and about 100 trillion cells. But the majority of those cells are microbial. If we indiscriminately wage war on microbes, we wage war on ourselves. For example, recent estimates of just bacterial cells range from a low of 57 percent to a high of 90 percent of total human cells.”[2]

Mark McAfee said about as much ten years ago in "Raw Milk: The Whole Truth".
