from wiki,
Side-Effects of Pasteurization Unfortunately, pasteurization destroys some enzymes as well as possibly-beneficial microbes, though lower-temperature pasteurization may be effective and less destructive.[13] It is therefore possible, despite the safety it offers, that pasteurized milk is an inferior product, nutritionally, when compared to raw milk.
It breaks down Enzymes into sugars, that our body does ANYWAY... And it kills Good Microbes?? **** me it kills
Bad Microbes as well...
Thats the whole point..
Only a small genetic population of adults can drink Milk.. It's an adaptation we have evolved only after the domestication of Cows and Goats.. It's not natural to start with, it's just stupidity to think processed Pasteurized milk is some how more un-natural than drinking straight from a Cows boob.. The benefits of Milk come from it's nutrients not the Lactose Enzyme or the 'Good Bacteria' (what a stupid catch phrase)

Got lactase?
April 2007
In the US and many other countries, we've certainly "got milk," but not everyone can enjoy it. For around 10% of Americans, 10% of Africa's Tutsi tribe, 50% of Spanish and French people, and 99% of Chinese, a tall cold glass of milk means an upset stomach and other unpleasant digestive side effects. In fact, most adults in the world are lactose intolerant and cannot digest lactose, the primary sugar in milk. And yet, regardless of our ancestry, most of us began our lives happily drinking milk from a bottle or breast - so what happened in the intervening time? Why do so many babies enjoy lactose and so many adults avoid it? Lactose is broken down by a protein called lactase, which acts as a pair of molecular scissors, snipping the lactose molecule in two. Anyone who drank milk as a baby carries a working version of the gene that codes for lactase. In lactose tolerant individuals, that gene keeps working into adulthood, producing the protein that digests lactose and makes eating ice cream a pleasant experience. But in people who are lactose intolerant, that lactase gene is switched off after weaning. Now, new research reveals that the Stone Age ancestors of European dairy-lovers probably couldn't digest milk either. So how did they get from bellyaches to milk mustaches? The answer is an evolutionary story that takes us from the milkmaids of the Alps to the Maasai herdsmen of Africa.
Coincidentally the gene for Lactose tolerance in Human populations is directly followed by the Gene for Lactose tolerance in Cat populations..
