The goal of this study is to assess the feasibility of using MRI for in vivo monitoring of gastric milk digestion (protein coagulation and breakdown). The study will be in healthy normal-weight individuals aged between 18 and 45 years. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is there a significant effect of time on the postprandial magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) of the stomach contents? 2. Can a difference in postprandial MTR of the stomach contents between the test products be detected? Participants will visit after an overnight fast two times and then have MRI scans of the stomach before and after the consumption of 500 mL of pasteurized or high-pasteurized skim milk.
