This myth has some basis in fact. Raw milk (milk that has not been pasteurized) contains enzymes that can interfere with the thickening action of milk and the rising of bread. The scalding destroys these enzymes. Today, almost all the milk that is sold has been pasteurized, a process of heating the milk to destroy bacteria. This has the same effect as scalding the milk, so by the time you buy the milk those nasty enzymes are already gone. Unless you milk your own cow, you can skip the scalding.
Scalding can however be beneficial if you are making yogurt or other cultured milk products. Even pasteurized milk contains some bacteria, and they can compete with the yogurt culture and affect the result. By heating milk to 180 degrees you eliminate most of these other organisms and give the desirable culture bacterial a clean slate to work with.

Hello! Thank you for sharing this information! You know, I am highly occupied with the problems of healthy nutrition. I think that it is pretty difficult to get natural and harmless products in stores nowadays since most of them are made with the use of some chemicals. That is why I am so careful when choosing what to eat.

I believe what you said was actually very logical. But, think on this, suppose you added a little information? I ain’t saying your information isn’t good., but what if you added a post title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean %BLOG_TITLE% is a little plain. You ought to peek at Yahoo’s home page and note how they create news headlines to grab viewers to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little livelier.|
