Author and Disclosure Information

EXPERT ANALYSIS FROM THE ANNUAL PEDIATRIC INFECTIOUS DISEASES CONFERENCE

The investigators concluded that unpasteurized milk "might" be a modifiable influence on allergic sensitization in children (J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 2006;117:1374-81).

"I would say, stay tuned on this. It’s just one study. My main message is that it is very clear that there are serious health dangers associated with consuming nonhuman unpasteurized milk or milk products," Dr. Glodé commented.

She reported having no relevant financial conflicts of interest.
