As an example, you can raise a kid on pasteurized milk, so he's getting some good out of it - but some people who think they are lactose intolerant find that they can drink raw milk without any digestive upsets. Raw milk, I'm told, contains lactase, an enzyme that helps with digesting lactose. Pasteurizing destroys that. I ain't educated so if somebody knows better, correct me!
