I'm curious about your reaction to unpasteurised milk (if any). I kept a
food diary as I changed over to Paleo and I found that if I had milk or
yoghurt (both pasteurised) I would end up with a bad taste in my mouth after
a few hours or the next morning and a coating on my tongue. Hence I've
stayed away from milk. I'll give it a try with some raw milk and see what
happens.
