The US Health Secretary's claim that raw unpasteurized milk is good for health has sparked a public debate. However, studies show that pasteurization reduces the risk of bacterial infection and does not significantly degrade the nutritional value of milk.
The US Health Secretary has been promoting raw unpasteurized milk as a healthy choice. A 2017 study found that unpasteurized dairy products cause 840 times more illnesses and 45 times more hospitalizations than pasteurized products. The CDC reported 143 enteric disease outbreaks associated with raw milk consumption between 2009 and 2021. Proponents claim raw milk reduces lactose intolerance, but there is no evidence to support this. Raw milk contains the same amount of lactose as pasteurized milk and the bacteria it contains do not aid in digestion. The claim that raw milk reduces the risk of asthma and allergies is also unfounded.
