As a heavy milk drinker (I'll put away about three gallons of nonfat a week), my issue with UHT is the odd caramel taste it picks up from the heat treatment. On the other hand, my wife, who consumes way less dairy and hardly drinks milk as a beverage at all, has no problem with UHT milk pretty much anywhere I'd prefer fresh. It's been awhile since I looked at the state of irradiated milk, though I had an irradiated camp stew once and that wasn't bad.
- _aavaa_ 4y agoBrown cows for chocolate milk, and glow-in-the-dark cows for irradiate milk... But heavy is an understatement, you must be drinking milk like eastern europeans eat bread, a few pieces with every course.
- fbdab103 4y agoI am so intrigued by this. You are putting down ~1.5 liters of milk daily? Straight or as lubrication for some other dish (eg cereal)? Do you slam it all in the morning or spread throughout the day? Edit: Do you think you have a strong stomach vs others? I had a milk-loving friend who developed kidney stones at ~25.
- jsnell 4y ago1.5 liters per day doesn't sound like an absurd amount. The average milk consumption per person in Finland is 1.2 liters per day.
- fbdab103 4y agoI am finding different (though remarkably high to this American) stats on Finnish milk consumption on the order of 100-130 liters/year = 0.3 liters/day, which is still incredible. That's higher than Finnish beer consumption at 72 liters/year.
- maxerickson 4y agoIs that milk products? I like cheese and yogurt and so on and drink 0 milk. Locating the source for a reddit post with high numbers, it does include milk products, other than butter. https://jakubmarian.com/milk-consumption-in-europe-in-liters-per-year-per-capita/ https://jakubmarian.com/milk-consumption-in-europe-in-liters...
- classichasclass 4y agoI just drink it as a beverage. Never stopped since childhood. 8-) I'll eat some challenging things in my wife's opinion, but I don't consider my stomach particularly cast-iron or anything.
- pornel 4y agoIt's funny how subjective this is. I've been raised on UHT milk and to me the "raw" one is worse — less creamy and more sour.
- classichasclass 4y agoYeah, I think she's more accustomed to it as well, whereas I never developed a "taste" for it. I'll drink it, but I'm not fond of it.
