Milk Asthma
A large European study suggests that kids who drink raw milk are less likely to have allergies and asthma than kids who drink pasteurized milk. Researchers say that's because certain milk proteins that are destroyed when milk it heated in pasteurization are known to improve a child's immune system. Other experts say, however, that pasteurized milk is safer because it protects drinkers from harmful microorganisms such as E. coli.
