Q Does boiling milk destroy the vitamins?
Studies have shown that boiling of milk increases the concentration of most of the components and minerals except for vitamins A, B 3 , B 5 , and B 12 where the decrease observed is 21%, 13%, 3%, and 21%, respectively. Thus, prolonged and repeated boiling of milk leads to loss in nutrition. Since boiling milk becomes imminent for purposes of sterilization, consumption and storage; the damage can be minimized by boiling each batch of milk only once.
