Some wellness and fitness influencers have been promoting raw milk as more beneficial for human consumption than pasteurized milk because, among other benefits, it has more nutrients than its alternative. Now, 20 people, including 6 children, have fallen ill in Florida after consuming raw milk.
HuffPost reports that the people who fell sick had E. coli and campylobacter bacteria-related illnesses which may cause kidney failure. State health officials linked the infections to a specific farm that remains unnamed at this particular time but the number of those affected are growing. The farm is believed to have sanitation practices that are unsatisfactory for milk production meant for human consumption.
