Does boiling affect the quality of fresh milk?

Boiling fresh milk is not necessary, because most of this type of milk products on the market have been sterilized, according to health website Healthline.

However, people are still required to boil fresh milk in some cases, such as cooking.

At that time, some nutritional components in milk will change. Some vitamins will be broken down, some fats, proteins and carbohydrates may also be transformed. Therefore, drinking boiled milk will have its own advantages and disadvantages.

Specifically, when boiling milk, the amount of B vitamins (B2, B6, B9, B12...), protein and lactose will be partially lost. This means that the nutrients in milk will be reduced. However, people with lactose intolerance (a condition in which the body lacks the lactase enzyme to absorb lactose) or are allergic to milk protein will digest boiled milk better.

Additionally, sterilized milk also contains more beneficial fats, which can help promote weight loss and better metabolism.

Healthline nutritionists also said that if you want to limit the loss of nutrients when boiling milk, you need to make sure not to overcook the milk by stirring constantly while cooking and turning off the stove as soon as you see air bubbles rising in the milk.
