The enzymes can be deactivated by heating the milk (bring to not-really
boiling). Ofcourse some of the valuable properties of the milk will be
destroyed that way, but far from all.

What bothers me is that I question the validity of the need to ake milk
thicker to be swallowed easier. Is there someone outthere who can explain to
me the mechanics af this? My personal logic tells me ''the thinner the
easier''. Am I wrong and if so why?

Warmly greeting,
