do you honestly think pasteurization does anything to prevent viral transmission
- dragonwriter 2y agoYes, that's part of the whole purpose of pasteurization, there is ample proof that it is generally useful at that, and there is specific research showing that it is effective for avian flu. And that's just normal pasteurization, when GP said his potentially over-cautious approach is to only consume ultra-pasteurized milk if it sourced from the US. https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-information/updates-highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza-hpai https://www.fda.gov/food/alerts-advisories-safety-informatio...
- bsima 2y agookay I was under the impression that pasteurization only effected bacteria, and destroying virus required much higher temperatures, but looks like I was mistaken https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7361064/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7361064/

It makes more accurate predictions about the world than other disease theories! https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2016/08/history-pasteurization-saved-millions-lives/ https://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2016/08/history-pas...

- darby_nine 2y agoI'm struggling to think of definitions of these terms where this sentiment might seem coherent
- icehawk 2y agoWould love to see your sources to the contrary!
