Where is the proof that UHT milk nutrition is equivalent to pasteurized milk?
-
I've done a lot of article research but I'm just amazed that in my search for an article discussing UHT milk as a safe option in China, I can find not one credible review article or even an easily accessible journal article which specifically compares the nutritional components between UHT and pasteurized milk. I see so many general comments about "slight decrease in folate", "taste difference" etc. I saw one 2008 research on "protein deformation" which hinted at a possible problem but was never discussed again in literature. And so many hypotheticals, "may this" and "may that". Where on earth is the real research? Show me the data, the comparative graphs, please! Thanks.

Here's what I found with a quick search for "UHT milk nutrition" in PubMed. You could try other keyword searches. The abstracts are viewable in PubMed. If you want tables and graphs you're going to have to find your own way to get journal access as I don't have access to the full text of most of these either. Iodine: less in UHT, but not to the point where it's relevant except for pregnant/breastfeeding women. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25704719 Proteins: no huge differences. Either slightly higher or slightly lower digestibility depending on what method the study used..

It is equivalent because it is 100% milk that has nothing added and nothing removed. There may be less vit. C (but milk is not a source of vit. C in any case), and folic acid may be a little less. Otherwise, it is what you started with. With respect to taste. it has been flash-sterilized at >100'C for 1-2 seconds. This means that some folks may detect a slightly caramelized or cooked taste. Personally, I drink it whenever available, and it is clearly the perfect milk for camping, cottages, boating, because it needs no refrigeration before opening. In S. Europe countries, it is often the ONLY milk sold in supermarkets, and people have becomes completely accustomed to it's taste and convenience.
