United States raw milk debate concluded that "raw milk poses a realistic health threat due to a possible contamination with human pathogens. It is therefore strongly recommended that milk should be heated before consumption. With the exception of an altered organoleptic [flavor] profile, heating (in particularly ultra high temperature and similar treatments) will not substantially change the nutritional value of raw milk or other benefits associated with raw milk consumption." Pasteurization opponents say that raw milk contains bacteria beneficial to the human digestive system, but pasteurization is not selective and affects all bacteria whether beneficial or infectious. These bacteria include species considered to be probiotics,
Oat milk and beta-amylase, producing maltodextrins which gelatinize at higher, more suitable temperatures. Adding ingredients as fortifying nutrients is also a difficult procedure. The nutrients must be bioavailable and stable in the final product, otherwise the quality or effectiveness of the product may be insufficient. Research in this field is often funded to discover procedures which successfully incorporate bioavailable nutrients into oat and other plant-based milks. Oat milk is highly applicable to diets of individuals who suffer from lactose intolerance (LI), cow's milk allergiy (CMA), celiac disease (CD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), radioiodine cancer treatment, eczema, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and possibly
