If that's true about the 3 weeks, it could explain it. I don't buy regular milk anymore so I don't look at the expiration dates...

I'm mildly lactose intolerant, so one concession I've had to make so I can still enjoy cheese in my sandwiches and pizza occasionally is to by lactose free milk. It's usually good 4 to 6 weeks when I buy it -- because they use heat which both ultra pastuerizes it and breaks down the lactose.

It definitely changes the taste to "odd" -- lactose is a sugar, and you don't think of milk as being sweet until you taste it without the natural sugars in it. In coffee or cereal, I don't notice the difference, just a glass of milk it's weird but I'm used to it now.

I definitely wouldn't put it past the dairies to just be ultra pasteurizing the milk just to increase it's shelf life.

I want to try some raw milk one day -- haven't had that in 25+ years since an Uncle kept a dairy cow around for his family -- since they say it has enzymes in it to help digest the lactose.
