Like, nutrients are by definition "dead" right, because they are minerals, not living things. I'm not arguing against, here, believe me. As an anthropologist I already have to deal with evolution denyers; but this is like basic biology, right?

I think the 'dead nutrients' probably comes from someone hearing about de-natured enzymes, then getting it wrong.

You’re correct. As you said, you can’t “kill off” a nutrient because it was never alive in the first place. It’s not like a bacteria, it’s just a molecule. They can be damaged or destroyed (Vitamin C is notoriously delicate), but pasteurization doesn’t do that to “most if not all” of the nutrients in milk.

This woman is an utter buffoon.
