Best Answer

Bacteria in milk gives you Crohn's diease.

Bacteria are around us everywhere. Bacteria live around us, on us, and

inside us. Bacteria in milk can come from the cow, or get in to the milk

after it leaves the cow. A process called "pasteurization" kills some of the

bacteria to make the milk last longer before it spoils.

The exact cause of Crohn's disease is not known. So it's not quite right to

say that milk, or bacteria in milk 'cause' Crohn's disease. Eating milk or

other foods might make some people with Crohn's disease sick, but the cause

of the disease is still not fully understood by scientists.

The bacteria in milk are beneficial in a lot of ways -- bacteria make milk

products like cheese. Bacteria in our guts help to keep us healthy by

keeping disease-causing bacteria out. In cows, bacteria help digest the

grass they eat. There are tons of ways bacteria are helpful, and these are

just a few!

Why is it necessary to heat milk at 85 c?

Milk contains bacteria that cause tuberculosis and other diseases. When milk is heated to 85c, all of the tuberculosis bacteria and disease causing bacteria are killed, and most of the bacteria are killed that causes milk to spoil. So, it makes milk safe to drink. The process is called Pasteurization. That technique greatly reduced tuberculosis in the United States making it much lower than in places where people use raw milk.

Can pasteurisation make tuberculosis affected milk safe for human consumption?

From Medicine.net "There is a form of atypical tuberculosis, however, that is transmitted by drinking unpasteurized milk. Related bacteria, called Mycobacterium bovis, cause this form of TB. Previously, this type of bacteria was a major cause of TB in children, but it rarely causes TB now since most milk is pasteurized (undergoes a heating process that kills the bacteria)."
