 My wife is ‘scared’ of it. Says there’s too much of a chance of a bacteria contamination. Can you please educate me so I can educate her on this? (I’m not at all worried to consume it, but we all have to educate our loved ones from time to time.) 
 For all of human history until the last 100 years, people drank milk directly from cows' udders.

Who are you going to trust? 10,000 years of human history of 100 years of pasteurized milk?

Who got us to this point in history? Your ancestors or a generation of people refusing to have kids?

Traditions survive because the people who follow them survive. Drink raw milk and foster another 10,000 years of human flourishing. 
 Great point. Love it!
