The average life expectancy wasn’t all to different from today, infant mortality was crazy high though. But if you survived childhood you were pretty set.
Yes it was. We can argue about why it was which is what you’re doing, but it was less than 30. There was a spike in deaths before 30 and after 55. Even still 55 is a much lower number than 80.
The exact cause of the statistic isn’t really the point though, the point is that just because humanity did something for thousands of years does not mean it was ok. Being a human was pretty damn awful for a very long time for a number of reasons including disease which is the point of this thread, that raw milk carries disease.
The average life expectancy for a human was also less than 30 for thousands and thousands of years.
Not it wasn’t.

I’m not saying it’s okay, only an idiot would willingly do it today when we have access to better methods.
I’m saying it’s not the most dangerous thing to do, humans have survived just fine alongside the practice.
