Expert denies viral claim of goat milk helping fight tuberculosis
short by / on Tuesday, 24 February, 2026
Some people claim goat milk fights tuberculosis, but dietitian Garima says it isn't a cure. Nutrients, antioxidants like selenium and zinc, and easy digestibility may support immunity and reduce treatment side effects, helping patients feel better while on TB drugs. TB requires proper antibiotics, milk is only a supportive addition, not a replacement for treatment, she added.
