Whole milk or skim?

Depends on your nutritional needs. Do you need the extra fat in while milk or could you benefit from limiting your fat intake?

Pasteurised or raw?

For the love of God, pasteurised. There's a reason they do it. Milk can contain some really nasty pathogens like tuberculosis. A large part of the reason why diseases like tuberculosis is mostly under control in the developed world is exactly that modern hygiene, like pasteurization, is being used.

The idea that raw milk is better because it is more "natural" is some retvrn with a V bullshit that romanticises a mythical past that was everything but romantic in reality
