    “Minor risks” being whole families dying or key family members getting poisoned as we transitioned to a society where most folks don’t own their own cow/source of milk.

    It’s dangerous to assume all those years of use were a utopia. We used leaded gas for how long and are only just now getting to understand the ramifications?

      If that bro above you knew anything about drinks historically he’d know the most popular drink was beer, because it was safer than milk or water.
