E. coli cases are on the rise in the United States, and the internet rightfully blames RFK Jr.

The FDA has linked 7 new cases of E. coli to cheese made with raw milk — RFK Jr.’s apparent drink of choice. The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services has a long history of supporting unpasteurized dairy products, and even took a shot of the stuff with wellness influencer Paul Saladino while inside the White House. Consuming raw milk is highly dangerous, and while science-skeptics like Salandino and RFK Jr. might be convinced otherwise, the internet doesn’t believe the unpasturized hype.

Absolutely nothing. As one user points out, the pasturization process is one of the simplest and safest food processing methods in existence. “I can not understand what the big deal is with pasteurization? It’s literally just heating milk for a set time then rapidly cooling it No chemicals, no high tech equipment, it’s just heated milk.” It literally is that simple. Heat the milk. Kill the germs. Drink the result.
