Raw milk reduces the severity of allergies

This review summarises studies suggesting raw milk drinkers have lower allergy/asthma rates, but generates no new data of its own.

• A narrative review cannot prove cause and effect
• Cited studies track allergy incidence, not severity
• Raw milk drinkers have many lifestyle differences; raw milk cannot be isolated
• One animal experiment showed raw milk increased allergic response
• Controlled trials are not ethically feasible per the author
