Milk sold as whole milk has been processed to reduce the fat to 3-1/4 percent. The milk is then homogenized by forcing it through small nozzles that reduce the fat globules to such a small size that they remain evenly spread throughout the milk. The homogenized whole milk is then pasturized by heating it to a high enough temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria, and then cooled and packaged for sale.

What is the difference between whole milk and sterilized milk?

You are talking about 2 different things. Whole milk is milk that has not been "skimmed" or had its milk fat removed. Whole milk contains about 4% milk fat, while reduced-fat milk varieties may contain 1 or 2% milk fat. Skim milk has no milk fat left, and is also called "fat free" milk. Pasteurization is the sterilization process by which foods, including milk, are treated in order to kill pathogens which can cause disease. Any variety of milk may be pasteurized. In fact, whole, 2%, 1% or skim pasteurized milk are widely available in most grocery stores in the United States and Canada.

Evaporated milk is whole milk that has had about 60 of its water content removed through evaporation, resulting in a thicker and creamier consistency compared to whole milk.

How come they call milk low fat 2 percent skim milk and home milk when their from the same cow?

Um, Okay... Milk doesn't come straight from the cow to your milk carton. It gets processed, bleached, pasteurized and all that other good, unnatural stuff. Whole milk has the fat left in it - that's why it's called "whole." But the fat can also be removed to make varying levels of fat content, thus - 2%, 1%, and skim. Whole milk has more like 4-6% fat content.
