Pasteurization, a process named in honor of French chemist, Louis Pasteur, uses heat to destroy pathogenic microorganisms in foods and beverages such as milk, cheese, fruit juices, and canned goods. Its intended use is to increase the shelf-life and stability of many foods.

How are they able to safely consume products like unpasteurized dairy products? Do you think raw milk and dairy products should be more or less available?
