Being anti pasteurization is the one that really gets me. Like it's just heating up the milk slightly for a brief period of time. It's really simple and not scary science that's easily misunderstood. Like what about heating up milk is dangerous?

The only thing I've been able to come up with is that it's a conspiracy theory of manufactured panic to send people down the right wing pipeline.

Many, but not all, of the anti -pasteurization people believe that there is an invisible "life force" in the milk that is killed by processing. This is an old idea, but this unfalsifiable and unprovable "life force" thinking undergirds a lot of pseudoscience. People believe in getting energy aligned and unblocked and so on, and believe that drinking milk with mysterious life force is more natural.
