Question

Why can we boil water to make it safe to drink, but we can’t boil the “spoil” out of expired milk?

Answer 1

Well, when you boil water, the steam collected (which is still H20) is what’s left after all the hard chemicals are left behind. Milk is not water, so removing the H20 (which will be the only thing that happens if you boil it) just won’t do the same thing.
