Is it really better to drink milk by boiling it?

　　In fact, boiling milk will actually make it less nutritious.

　　Currently, all milk sold on the market is heat sterilized. If boiling is for disinfection, there is no need at all. Generally speaking, ultra-high temperature sterilized milk can be drunk directly. For fresh milk taken out of the refrigerator, it only needs to be heated to a suitable drinking temperature.

　　If milk is boiled and the temperature reaches 100°C, the lactose in the milk may burn and caramelize, affecting the taste and nutrition of the milk. In addition, after the milk is boiled, the calcium in it will precipitate with phosphate, which will also reduce the nutritional value of the milk.

　　The best way to warm milk is to heat it over water. Put fresh bagged milk into hot water for about 5 minutes. If you choose to use a milk pot to boil milk, it is best not to leave it at all, because milk usually overflows easily after it is heated to a certain temperature.

　　It should be reminded that in order to save time, many people choose to use microwave ovens for heating. This heating method will cause uneven temperatures, and bagged and boxed milk containing polyethylene are not suitable for microwave heating. Therefore, read the instructions on the packaging before heating. In addition, the setting time should not be too long. Just heat 250 ml of milk for 1 minute, otherwise the nutrition will be destroyed.
