You may have seen your favorite influencer talking about the latest food trend: raw milk. But is it safe to drink? Science says no.

Raw milk can carry dangerous bacteria such as salmonella, E. coli, and listeria. These pathogens can cause food poisoning. Even a small amount of contaminated raw milk can make you sick. #RawMilkTruth
