Low temperature pasteurized, non-homogenized is the best you can find at a typical grocery store, raw dairy products are the best in general. You have to get those from a local farmer, sometimes it's more expensive, but if you're buying high quality organic milk anyways, the price is around the same here for me. ~$8-10/gallonAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971108566592617587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1313143544219095171.post-1580952972925724292015-06-18T08:43:18.862-05:002015-06-18T08:43:18.862-05:00Don't do it if your worried.
