I thought all they did to cows' milk was mix the milk from a bunch of cows
and pasteurize and homogenize it and add some Vitamin D.  Oh, and take out
the fat (in the kind we drink).

But my point was that if human milk "turns to nutrition-free white fluid" at
6 months post-partum, then when does cows' milk "turn to nutrition-free
white fluid" and what percentage of the milk we buy is from cows' whose
calves are so old that they are now producing nutrition-free milk.
