OK, so milk exported from Australia to Asian markets has less lactose? It doesn't say that. I've also heard that whole lactose-intolerance thing is greatly exaggerated, kind of an urban legend.sundaymorningstaple wrote:UHT milk is not radiated at all. It Ultra-High Temperature treated which allows the long unrefrigerated shelf life as long as the sterile packaging has not been punctured. Once opened it is drastically reduced even when refrigerated. Pasteurized milk (HTST - High Temperature Short Time) on the other hand is also heat treated but at a shorter time which doesn't kill all of the bacteria. This is why UHT is often called sterilized milk.
True fresh milk shouldn't be drank at all as it can pass on bacteria which is harmful to humans.
A lot of the reason that you cannot find fresh milk here is that most or a very high percentage of Asians are Lactose Intolerant. Therefore most milk has been treated and reconstituted so that the majority can drink it without problems. Otherwise they (the stores) would have a spoilage problem which is not bottom line oriented.
Breakfast flavored? New one on me! Maybe it's flavoured to taste like Nasi Lemak?
Exactly! Why are the exporting all this fake stuff here? The people here must want it??ozchick wrote:Don't get me started on this ! I've just taken milk back to the supermarket- it had appeared to be normal but had a tiny 'banana' flavoured sign on the front that I hadn't seen.
And then I was very careful to get a non-flavoured carton the next time but nah- I got it home and couldn't drink it
either cos it was SO sweet ! In tiny print on the back in 'ingredients' it had sugar listed ! What a load of ****
And then the girl in the supermarket wanted to put the 'returned' milks back on the shelf. I explained to her that they'd been out of the refrigerator. She then asked me why. I explained that I don't normally carry a fridge around with me...ho hum.....
And superglide there's nothing wrong with Aussie milk, although the better producers' don't seem to be available...you're just jealous cos you're probably not 'from the land of plenty' !
Once you'd taste the milk directly from a farmer in Holland, you're hooked for life.ozchick wrote:And superglide there's nothing wrong with Aussie milk, although the better producers' don't seem to be available...you're just jealous cos you're probably not 'from the land of plenty' !
