William Schnell asked:
It has been my understanding that fermented milk (such as kefir), if made
from raw is not so evil as pasteurized. Do you know of any proof showing
otherwise?

Raw milk and milk products are always preferable to pasteurized.  There are
scientific reasons for this. Read William Campbell Douglass' book, The Milk
Book:  How Science is Destroying Nature's Most Perfect Food.  The Price
Pottenger Nutrition Foundation sells that book, which is otherwise hard to
find.
