What are the advantages/disadvantages of non pasteurised milk?

What about soya milk?

Soya milk is bland, virtually tasteless and almost as bad as skimmed and semi-skimmed cow's milk.  Why some people pay through the nose for whitewash astonishes me.  I first tried it because there was a recent shortage of full-fat milk, but never again.  It's a con.

Goats milk is half decent, but you mostly have to get if from the Goat Owner, if you can find one.

Goats Milk is the closest to to human milk for humans.  But I don't really want to go into that.

I am not in UK.  I buy Raw Milk from the local farm.  But I am not sure if humans should be drinking Cows Milk.  Probably not.  Although I can't think of an alternative, apart from Goats Milk.

Cows' milk is designed to build a cow, so it surely can't be good for you, but I've raised pups, kittens and hedgehogs on goats' milk, so it must be easy to digest.

Although Adult dogs and cats should not be drinking Cows Milk.  I don't know about Goats Milk.  But it is difficult to find.

A2 milk is a variety of cows' milk that mostly lacks a form of β-casein proteins called A1, and instead has mostly the A2 form.[1] Cows' milk like this was brought to market by The a2 Milk Company and is sold mostly in Australia, New Zealand, China, the United States, and the United Kingdom.[2] Non-cow milk, including that of humans, sheep, goats, donkeys, yaks, camels, buffalo, and others, also contain mostly A2 β-casein, and so the term "A2 milk" is also used in that context.[3][4]

The a2 Milk Company claims that milk containing A1 proteins is harmful, and some companies producing goat's milk products make similar claims,[5] but a 2009 European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) review found that it could not be established that bioactive peptides in milk containing both the A1 and A2 proteins have an adverse effect on health.[2] - from Wikipedia.

Since being on A2 milk my health has improved, so I swear by it even though it isn't the cheapest.

Soya milk is higher in protein and lower in carbs/sugar which helps to burn fat and build muscle!  I often substitute it for dairy milk in coffee and put it on a sliced banana for my breakfast.

We once had a cute pussy that would just stroll in through open doors and despite my aversion to animals indoors I weakened and put out a saucer of cream but it turned up its nose. It wasn't even any old cream it was M&S cream. I thought pussies liked cream but apparently not.  When I Googled it appears they're lactose intolerant!

Can't wait to have my eyebrows/lashes tinted and hair cut/coloured, when are these places opening up?  Even when they do I guess getting an appointment will be another thing.

I think (and hope) July 4th (in England, that is).

My hairdresser called me out of the blue, and offered me an appointment for the 7th !  SO glad I'm a "regular", and put my name down on the waiting list.

A friend tells me she has an appointment for the 10th, so perhaps the wait won't be that long-----some people will be scared of going, and I would imagine quite a few have had these things done--um---"illegally".
