I will agree with you that many processed foods are not healthy.

I will NOT agree with your statement regarding homogenized milk.

And cannot let this left without clarification. It's important that the correct information is given as this is how "myth-understandings" about foods (and other things) are created.

Milk today is homogenized because the consumer in the past did not like the milk and butterfat (aka cream) separating. Some readers here, will remember the old cream top milk bottles, or will have heard about them.

Nothing is added to change milk when it is homogenized. To homogenize, the milk is put thru an ultra-fine screen in order to break the fat globules down, so that the milk and cream from separating.
