I have been lead to believe that all the studies have been on
Pasteurized milk - and no "official" studies on raw milk that I know
of.  Also _all _of the reported, milk-related illnesses have been due to
Pasteurized milk.  Here in L.A. raw milk proponents did some careful
studying of the record as they went up before the LA (Board of
Supervisors? Governors?) to convince them that offering raw milk for
sale in Los Angeles would be safe.  They agreed and now raw milk is
legal to sell here.
