TIL about "Swill milk" where cows were fed distillery waste causing cow teeth rot and disease. It was also adulterated with raw eggs, burn sugar, etc. Swill milk lead to over 8,000 infant's deaths (en.wikipedia.org)

Yeah, I think most of the infant deaths had more to do with unpasteurized milk adulterated with raw eggs and not the cow's diet.
