Personally no. The calcium in milk (whether raw or pasteurized) is
bonded to casein. To break the bond we need the enyme rennin. Most
people cease or severely cut back the production of this enzyme after
weaning off. Couple this with the fact that we have no use for casein
(except perhaps for making cheese) and the fact that cows milk contains
about 300 times more casein than human milk and you can see why the stuff
is troublesome. Every heard of the acidity tablets "Rennies" and have you
ever wondered why they bear this name?
