"Adulterated" mostly means "diluted with water".To be honest "diluted milk from milk man" is not news to Indians :) Also, only 8% had residue of detergents mainly due to improper cleaning of the containers (if you buy loose milk instead of packaged). Most families in India make yogurt at home and the typical way to gauge the dilution is to look at the thickness of the yogurt made out of the milk.

> Also, only 8% had residue of detergents Only 8%? Well, then it's all fine then. Nothing to worry about at all.

  How much is it from our own households and silverware?

  Original poster didn't make any mention of water in the 70%, but quoted detergents. I quoted the real value, which is 8%.

In the linked article, "adulterated" doesn't refer to "dilute with water". Milk being sold here is mostly synthetic: made out of detergents and vegetable oil. There have been videos of people involved in doing so and they've claimed it's pretty tough to detect as the amount of yogurt or cheese obtained from such milk is often similar to what one would obtain from pure milk or even slightly better.

  From the link (http://www.cseindia.org/content/adulterated-milk-what-indians-are-drinking http://www.cseindia.org/content/adulterated-milk-what-indian...) you posted, at the bottom : "Water, most common adulterant Water turned out to be the most common adulterant in milk. It reduces the nutritional value of milk."

>Adulterated" mostly means "diluted with water Decidedly false. The milk vendors add chemicals such as boric acid and paint thinners. Extremely harmful to the health.
