(51:30) Some people are highly sensitive to dairy and generally need to stay away from all dairy; however, others can have raw dairy and not have an issue. Between raw and pasteurized, Anthony personally prefers raw milk and he sources it from a local dairy that he trusts. Conventional milk can have emulsifiers in it to keep it from separating, but emulsifiers are horrible for your health. Emulsifiers are tasteless detergents that weaken your gut lining.
