Raw cow's milk consumption and allergic diseases - The potential role of bioactive whey proteins
Study · Abbring et al. / European Journal of Pharmacology 2019 · 2019 · Raw milk
Review of research linking raw cow's milk consumption to lower rates of allergy and asthma. The authors point to bioactive whey proteins as a possible explanation.
Loss of allergy-protective capacity of raw cow's milk after heat treatment coincides with loss of immunologically active whey proteins
Study · Abbring et al. / Food & Function 2020 · 2020 · Raw milk
In a mouse model, the allergy-protective effect of raw milk faded gradually with heat treatment, at the same time as immunologically active whey proteins were denatured. The effect began to disappear at around 65 °C.
Consumption of unpasteurized milk and its effects on atopy and asthma in children and adult inhabitants in rural Poland
Study · Sozańska et al. / Allergy 2013 · 2013 · Raw milk
A study of people in rural Poland found links between unpasteurized milk intake and lower rates of some allergic outcomes. The data are observational, so they do not show that raw milk itself was the cause.
Consumption of unprocessed cow's milk protects infants from common respiratory infections
Study · Loss et al. / Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2015 · 2015 · Raw milk
Infants were followed over time, and consuming unprocessed cow's milk was associated with fewer common respiratory infections. This is epidemiological evidence, not a randomized trial where infants were given raw milk.
Raw milk producers with high levels of hygiene and safety
Study · Berge and Baars / Epidemiology & Infection 2020 · 2020 · Raw milk
Mainly about the safety and hygiene of raw milk producers, and whether raw milk can be produced with very low microbiological risk. It is not a study showing a health benefit from drinking raw milk.
Minimally processed cow’s milk and early childhood asthma-related outcomes: exploratory findings from the early terminated MARTHA randomized trial
Study · Melanie Weber, Yvi Huynh, Giulia Pagani, Martin Depner, Silvia Gschwendtner, Hans Demmelmair, Chrysanthi Skevaki, Hermelijn H. Smits, Kasper Hettinga, Michael Schloter, Christine Strunz-Lehner, Joachim Heinrich, Erika von Mutius, Markus J. Ege / medRxiv 2026 · 2026 · Raw milk
MARTHA randomized 260 children to minimally processed full-cream or UHT semi-skimmed milk. This preprint reports atopic sensitization, asthma, rhinitis and cough in the early-terminated trial. The asthma estimate was HR 0.55 (0.27–1.16).
The protective effect of farm milk consumption on childhood asthma and atopy: The GABRIELA study
Study · Georg Loss et al. / Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology 2011 · 2011 · Raw milk
Study of 8,334 schoolchildren in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Reported raw farm-milk consumption was associated with lower odds of asthma (aOR 0.59), atopy (0.74) and hay fever (0.51). Boiled farm milk did not show the same association.
Inverse association of farm milk consumption with asthma and allergy in rural and suburban populations across Europe
Study · Marco Waser et al. / Clinical & Experimental Allergy 2007 · 2007 · Raw milk
PARSIFAL included 14,893 children in five European countries. Ever consuming farm milk was associated with lower odds of asthma (aOR 0.74). The study also examined allergy in rural and suburban populations.
Investigation of Maillard reaction products in plant-based milk alternatives
Study · Pucci et al. / Food Research International 2024 · 2024 · Plant-based drinks
Laboratory analysis of Maillard reaction products in plant-based milk alternatives, compared with long-life cow's milk. The authors link the lower nutrient content of the plant-based drinks to chemical reactions during heat treatment.
