There actually has been some studies on this
Found the study:
The conclusions look like a polite way of wording what I imagined would happen lmao

I’m skeptical of this.
When cooking with milk there is a noticeable difference between raw, HTST, Vat pasteurization, in the final product (like a custard,) so it certainty affects the protein and sugar structure of the milk, it’s not just killing bacteria.
I agree. This goes hand in hand with mass industrialization of food and constant access of calories. Look at how the height of the Japanese shot up after WW2.

Out of curiosity is the cooking difference consistent across different cows?
Pasteurization is what allows for homogenization, which means the milk you buy is going to have all the variation between individual cows averaged out. Non-homogenized milk or milk homogenized from different types of cows will likely have different profiles
I have no idea. I’d assume it would be, but due to the other stuff you mentioned I’ve never heard of it being done in a controlled or commercial setting. Maybe there is some homesteader on tictok who explains their preference in milk between betty and buttercup.
Anecdotally I know the milk tastes better when I’m in Ireland. I’d imagine that regional variation would be a function of differences in the aggregate diet, breed, and state of the cows rather than changes in the pasteurization process which is pretty standardized.
If you cook you know how much an egg changes based on the condition of the chicken, I imagine it would be similar when you’re dealing with milk only from better treated cows
Occasionally
It’s not. The character of those factors comes through for sure, but the difference in the time vs. temperature pasteurization techniques are detectable.
Also, remember that guy who was selling raw water a while back? It was $70 per gallon and he was just getting it out of a creek by a road.

Not at all. Regular milk has less fat and skim milk has no fat, so it’s not like whole milk is abnormal or anything. Whole milk is milk that has not had the fat removed. This milk retains about 3.5% fat and is slightly thicker. Reduced fat milk retains 2% fat. Skim milk or fat free or skim milk has no fat at all.
Why would the regular milk be a modified version of milk? Wouldn’t regular mean it’s…regular?

I think people should enjoy milk, preferably full fat dairy.
The people who say “only people drink milk” have never had a pet dog or cat. People have accomplished much more than other animals, so what does that even mean? Do other animals enjoy Squishees? Potassium benzoate? (That’s bad?). Should people eat unwanted litters?
Pasteurized milk is an easy win for health purposes. Raw milk has higher rates of problems, but I don’t care much if an adult chooses to drink it. I don’t think restaurants should serve raw milk. Lactased milk is available and might be a smarter choice for some, even some restaurants, given high rates of dairy intolerance. (If you didn’t tell me I would struggle to detect the minimal increased sweetness of lactase in a blind taste test; milk is usually mixed with other stuff too).
With Kennedy in, why stop there? “Everybody loves rats. So why not their milk?”… the Simpsons have been prophetic before…
My one cat Loves heavy cream. And butter.
Regular Milk is the whole milk and not some modified version of milk. The other versions of milk is the skim milk which has low fat. That’s why they are diffenciated with the help of colours.
You just said regular milk has less fat than whole milk.
This Turing Test is not going well

Or maybe like an old guy comedian.
Instead of jokes disguised as complaints, like a young comedian, it’s just complaints with no laughs.
I drink whole and raw milk just because only pussies consume fat reduced anything.
