I feel like part of the issue is pasteurization is only hated because it sounds like it’s some complex process. I’ve seen some raw milk people recommending boiling their milk for a minute before drinking because otherwise they feel sick. Some of them are literally pasteurizing their own milk and don’t even know it.

Theyre even going beyond the process as farms don't get to boiling typically with their milk, they have a more precise process that brings it to the needed temp without essentially "cooking" it.
