I love milk and I'm very sensitive to its taste. Whenever I return to my home country of France, the first thing I do is go to my parents' fridge and drink their MICROFILTERED organic fresh milk. Microfiltration is a process that filters out bacteria-sized components and leaves the milk safe to drink, but without the flash heat of pasteurization, which kills some good and bad bacteria and modifies the taste of the milk. I've never found microfiltrated milk here in the US - I think the USDA or FDA must not believe they are safe, which is not in accordance with EU statistics on their consumption. So, please, if you visit France, have a little drink of fresh organic microfiltered milk! |
All milk has to be homogenized. I grew up on a dairy farm and even our raw milk had to be homogenized in order for the milk not to separate into mucus clumps. If that happens, the whole tank of milk is bad and has to be drained, washed, and sanitized before new fresh milk is collected again. So whoever is trying to sell products that say that it's not homogenized is yanking your chain. You WANT homogenized milk unless you plan on drinking raw milk within 5-10 minutes straight from the cow. |
Ugh are you effing kidding me? The food industry in this country is so effed up, every time I feel like I've figured out how to avoid their dirty tricks I learn about a new one. No wonder everyone has food allergies and intolerances. |
You can't successfully grow healthy cultures like Kefir with UHT milk. Too much of the good bacteria and lactose have been destroyed. |
A farm. |
Simple Truth Organic Milk from Fry's/Krogers |
i can’t stand the taste of UHT. I’m surprised people like it. |
Ultra High Temprature Pasturization (sorry cant spell )takes a lot of vitamins minerals etc out of the milk some call it "dead milk" |
There is nothing wrong with it. The biggest difference is taste. It's just not as rich and creamy. The only vitamin that has proven to be affected is Vitamin C (which is not what I drink milk for anyway, It does alter the protein, thus the way we digest the protein, so that could be a problem for a person with milk protein allergies (which is different than lactose intolerance. Most people with a protein allergy aren't going to be drinking milk anyway). I don't understand the argument about heating away "good" bacteria--milk does not have any naturally occurring probiotics in it. |
It tastes different and my kids won't drink it. I don't like the taste either. My kids can identify it without even seeing it, so they can't be tricked into drinking it. |
