Yes and no.
If you run your own caching server and that caching server supports
DNSSEC and you enable DNSSEC and set up/maintain the trust anchors,
then yes.
So yes, pedantically speaking, there is a choice. Pragmatically
speaking, I doubt this is really an option for any but the geekiest
and/or terminally paranoid. Even the first bit of the previous "if"
statement is probably beyond most...

P.S. From experience, running your own caching server can result in
problems when connecting via T-Mobile hotspot and some hotel
authentication abominations... (sigh).
