Claims supported
Reviewed claim cards that cite this source in the evidence graph.
raw milk: Pasteurization does not meaningfully destroy the major nutritional value
Pasteurization does not meaningfully destroy the major nutritional value of milk, so nutrition-loss claims do not outweigh the safety function of pathogen reduction.
raw milk: Raw milk is not established as a treatment for
Raw milk is not established as a treatment for lactose intolerance because raw cow’s milk still contains lactose and consumer tolerance claims are not the same as controlled digestive evidence.
raw milk: Farm-milk allergy and asthma observations do not justify recommending
Farm-milk allergy and asthma observations do not justify recommending retail raw milk because the observational farm-exposure signal is not equivalent to proving raw milk is a safe allergy-prevention intervention.
