Best Answer

Mainly the temperature and the cleanliness of the milk after the milk carton is opened. A properly pasteurized milk product will last as least till the buy-by date. But if the milk is in contact with human skin/lips and then stored in room temperature, the milk should spoil within 48 hours. Of course, by the same reasoning, milk stored in a used glass and left on a table in a warm humid room will do the trick too.

This girl conducted a science project that should answer this question in plenty detail: http://sciencefairprojectsreview.com/which-milk-spoils-fastest/ Basically, the quick answer is no. Apparently the accelerated spoilage in lower fat milks has to do with the displacement of the fat to water ratio. Because of this, lower fat milks usually contain more lactose than higher fat milks. The more lactose there is, the faster the milk will spoil.
