Homogenization, process of reducing a substance, such as the fat globules in milk, to extremely small particles and distributing it uniformly throughout a fluid, such as milk. When milk is properly homogenized, the cream will not rise to the top.

First and foremost, the purpose of homogenization is to reduce the size of the particles making up a sample. In simple terms, it’s a bit like taking a boulder and smashing it into gravel, except, in this case, the gravel pieces would be all the same size and shape.

Why Is Milk Homogenized? Milk is homogenized, not for taste, but to give milk its rich, white color and smooth texture that we’re used to. This process prevents cream from rising to the top, and saves you the step of mixing the cream back into the milk yourself before drinking it.

Homogenised milk is hazardous to your health. Homogenised milk has smaller particles as compared to non-homogenised milk. As a result, during digestion, the tiny particles are absorbed by the bloodstream directly and thereby causing harm to your health. Homogenised milk is also known to cause cancer and heart disease.

So what should you do? Just drink unhomogenised, preferably organic, milk. Milk from cow’s who eat grass. Problem is the law doesn’t force manufacturers to say on the packaging whether the milk is homogenised, so it’s hard to tell until you get your eye in.
