Doctors warn: Raw milk is dangerous for babies and children

A trend has emerged on social media suggesting that raw milk is safe for consumption, comparing it to breast milk. However, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) warns parents against following such advice, emphasizing the risks associated with raw milk for children and infants. Leading health organizations advise against consuming unpasteurized milk due to the risk of harmful bacteria. The trend is based on the incorrect assumption that human breast milk and animal raw milk are comparable. Experts clarify that these are fundamentally different types of milk, differing in both acquisition methods and composition. Human breast milk is specifically tailored for human babies, while animal milk is designed for their respective species. Raw milk lacks essential nutrients like iron and vitamin C necessary for human infants and poses significant health risks.
