what the hell is wrong with homogenized milk?

i mean taste wise

what is this crackpot nonsense?

also, milk can be both raw and homogenized

Again, I have no point of comparison, but it stands to reason that the homogenization process could affect the texture, or even the flavor, of milk.

though homogenization usually involves some heat

(that is, usually when homogenizing, we do other processes)

I find that raw milk tastes too sweet

of course, in hard cheese, that all gets fixed

seems like human milk just has more carb fats

other differences are pretty irrelevant

i'm lactose intolerant. i add lactase enzyme to my milk and it breaks down the lactose, this process makes it much sweeter, and i definitely prefer the taste. not sure why sweet milk would be bad

is it just sugar in milk.. or any sugar?

lactose is a sugar

ye

@xorgy Pasteurization is the heat treatment, homogenization is just mixing

I know

when it is broken down it affects how our taste buds perceive it

thats what Im asking 😛

is it just in milk or all sugars

@Bayesed I like sweet things sometimes, but sometimes I find it kinda gross.

sweet liquids which are also fatty are kinda gross to me

except in some cases lol

it's complicated I guess

fructose and sucrose as well?

i donno, i add milk to my coffee, and often sugar too. i imagine i need less with sweeter milk

@Bayesed doesn't lactase just break down Lactose into 2 different simpler sugars

I think there is some dextrose

yes

2 different sugars which are much sweeter tasting. humans dont perceive lactose as being very sweet

galactose and glucose

"Lactase (also known as lactase-phlorizin hydrolase, or LPH), a part of the β-galactosidase family of enzymes, is a glycoside hydrolase involved in the hydrolysis of the disaccharide lactose into constituent galactose and glucose monomers."

galactose, isn't that the guy who tried to destroy the earth?

yeah, galactose is its own monosaccharide

lol

We're already a cyborg and we dont even know it yet - Elon Musk 😱

lactose free milk is like 6-7$ per gallon here, vs 3.5$ for regular. I add about 25 cents worth of lactase and its just as good

a lot of hard cheese is virtually free of lactose AFAIK

Watching Joe Rogan & him, what a socially odd guy but rlly smart

at least, when I was mildly lactose intolerant as a kid, cheese did not irritate me

yeah, cheese doesnt contain enough to affect me
