RDNA pilot study found that acidification of raw whole milk (with citric acid) to a pH of 4.1-4.2 for 6 hours resulted in complete inactivation of the bird flu (H5N1) virus.There was an indication that the effectiveness of inactivation may be dependent on fat content of the milk.These pH levels are within the range resulting from fermentation (4.0-4.5).<a href="https://floss.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/BirdFlu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BirdFlu</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/H5N1" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#H5N1</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Milk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Milk</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/RawMilk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RawMilk</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Fermentation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fermentation</a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Kefir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kefir</a>
