A recent study reveals that Puneities do not follow the correct practices of boiling milk. A large number of people heat and re-heat the same milk again and again, and that too at a high temperature for a long time, thus, killing the nutrients. According to experts, milk subjected to less heating retains its nutrient value. Experts say milk should ideally be boiled not more than twice and not for more than 2-3 minutes.
