External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Milk. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/20150707022725/http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata to http://www.ars.usda.gov/nutrientdata

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Minor grammatical point

Under Lactose Intolerance, I changed "microflora that excretes" to "microflora that excrete." Though flora is singular, it is a collective noun, and it seems to me it's being used in a plural sense here. The author is referring to the billions of gut bacteria that constitute the biome.

If my emendation seems wrongheaded to experts in the field who use such terminology all the time, please feel free to change it back. KC 05:16, 6 September 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Boydstra (talk • contribs)

Slight Correction should be made

The very beginning of this article defines milk as white but Hippos make pinkish milk and besides it probably shouldn't be defined with a color anyway. --2605:A000:D141:3800:9450:4878:E749:C80 (talk) 02:27, 22 November 2015 (UTC)

Lactose in Forsythia Flowers?

The article states that lactose is found in forsythia flowers, but the article for forsythia flowers states that the presence of lactose cannot be confirmed. The information between the two articles should be conformed. At the very least, the information provided in the Milk article stating that lactose is contained in forsythia flowers and other tropical shrubs should be cleaned up (eg naming the tropical shrubs) and cited.

Interesting. I read a few web sources. See this [1] for example. I think we should just remove any mention. Gandydancer (talk) 17:01, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

13.1 Reduction or elimination of lactose

this section ends with saying that you cant get sour milk at home from the milk sold in the shops because of pasteurisation killing the microbes in milk that would ferment it. the source given to back up this is " Joy of Cooking The All Purpose Cookbook Sixth Edition, Fifth Revision Irma S. Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker ; illustrated by Ginnie Hofmann and Ikki Matsumoto Published 1975". now i doubt if it is a sufficently reliable source to begin with. its nowhere near a scientific source, instead it is an "All Purpose Cookbook". you just dont want to rely on this kind of literature for reliable information on chemistry or biology. and it was written in 1975, some 40 years ago. since then so many once popularized beliefs have been reversed (concerning margarine, eggs, and perhaps milk as well, to name only what pops up in my mind), so it must be outdated on several points, if it had had been reliable in the first place. and pasterized milk does go sour, its shelf life is merely 3 days refrigerated. it is ultrapasterization, that kills off enough of the bacteria responsible for fermentation, to keep milk unspoiled for months (if unopened) w/o refrigeration - this kind of milk ends up spoiled finally by rotting bacteria, with an unconsumptible bitter taste - probably the bacteria gets inside the milk from the air once opened. so bottomline, the statement concerning "simple pasteurisation" and the source used are both unworthy from an encyclopedical aspect.80.98.114.70 (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2016 (UTC).
