heating up milk kills the nutrients within?

Question

are there any scientific facts behind this even, or is it just a educated guess?

Answer 1

Nutrients aren't alive. They may be part of a living organism (for example, the human body contains protein), but the individual molecules aren't alive.

Milk certainly isn't alive. There may be bacteria living in it (in fact, there almost certainly is), and when you heat the milk, it may kill the bacteria.

Additionally, high temperatures can destroy some nutrients (for example, vitamin C). Nutrients can't be killed, though.

Answer 2
