Re: Pasteurization of milk is a process by which milk is heated [#permalink]
I cant agree with "D" because the argument doesnt talk about "2 processes" at all.

Raw milk drinkers consume the milk as-is - without heating. Since that's the case, there's never a scenario where raw-milk drinkers use "either process alone" - hence wont be put forth as an argument.

In my opinion, D is correct because -
1. MOST people who drink milk do not heat at home, so they will not be killing digestive enzymes by heating. This addresses the "beside the point" part of argument.
2. For the SOME people who DO heat milk (because MOST is not = ALL), will be subjecting the milk to 2 processes - pasteurization and heating at home having a dual effect. So, they would rather drink it raw and heat it once. This addresses the "else misleading part" and completes the sentence.

D) Digestive enzymes will be killed during pasteurisation, but never said that when the pasteurisation mil heated still looses some more healthy elements.

B) It clearly says Pasteurisation does not only kill pathogens, it do other tasks like killing digestive enzymes.

B can be inferred, but D is far of from inference and need to add more to get to D.

IMO B should be the answer.

I think the question is very cleverly modeled on the lines of "irradiation of food" question from official guide.

Hi JeffJose.

That was my initial thought as well. But look closely at the following sentence from the passage:-

Proponents of pasteurization point out that that pasteurization is still necessary to reduce bacterial contamination, and that heating milk at home also kills beneficial digestive enzymes.

I think the two processes implied here are pasteurization and heating milk at home.

I will try to help you.

Proponents of pasteurization point out
1. Pasteurization (heating and cooling) is necessary as it reduce bacterial contamination
2. Heating milk at home also kills beneficial digestive enzymes.

Raw milk drinkers argue that this (proponents of pasteurization) argument is
1. Beside the point, i.e., heating is not necessary. How does argument of proponents of pasteurization beside the point of raw milk drinkers? It is beside the point in a way that proponents of pasteurization are saying that heating milk at home also kills beneficial digestive enzymes, but raw milk dinkers are not heating milk at home. So, beneficial digestive enzymes are not killed by raw milk drinkers.

2. Misleading. How does argument of proponents of pasteurization mislead the point of raw milk drinkers? It is misleading in a way that if milk is heated twice, it would destroy more digestive enzymes than either process alone destroys.

A similar question has been discussed here.
