This page documents how this source is reused across Claim by Claim. A source can support, challenge, qualify or contextualize different claims; appearing here does not imply endorsement of every linked proposition.

Evidence context

How this source is used

Evidence roles describe what this source helps establish inside each Investigation. They are local to that use, not permanent labels attached to the publication itself.

Investigation

Is raw milk inherently healthier and safe because pasteurization destroys its benefits?

Challenges

CDC and FDA document foodborne illness and outbreaks from unpasteurized milk, including pathogens such as Campylobacter, Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria.

Qualifies

Pasteurization is not chemically neutral and can alter some heat-sensitive components, but the major nutritional value of milk remains and the change does not establish a net health advantage for raw milk.
