                                In the early 20th century, before widespread regulation, milk was a perpetual threat to public health in America, with contaminated raw milk causing countless illnesses and deaths, particularly among children. This grave reality is the key to understanding when America stopped drinking raw milk in large quantities, a seismic shift from a common practice to a public health taboo driven by scientific advancement and government regulation.
