57. Myth No. 9 - See text below

Myth No. 9

"The pasteurization process turns casein into a very dangerous molecule that can further precipitate the brain injury
(referring to autism)."

  • FDA was unable to find any support for this statement.
  • The statement is very non-specific.
  • Do not know which casein species nor do we know the name of the "dangerous molecule".
  • Caseins are largely unaffected by pasteurization.
  • Farrell and Douglas (1983) showed that there was little difference in the soluble casein found in raw milk (78.8%) and pasteurized milk (74.8%) (Kiel. Milchwirtsch. Forschungsber. 35;345-356).
