Why does milk rot?

Answer 1

Bacteria grow rapidly in milk, using the sugar, lactose, as their food; chilling slows the growth but does not stop it. Most of the bacteria are beneficial for humans or benign, but some are toxic. As the sugar is consumed the milk becomes sour but is still edible (as in yogurt), and will give a "buttermilk pancake" flavor if you cook with it. However, it does not stay at that stage for long. Soon all of the lactose is consumed so the food value is gone, and the toxic bacteria have multiplied to the point where they are dangerous for human consumption.

Answer 2

Rotten milk in itself is not, it's what makes it rotten. Bacteria is what makes pretty much anything organic rot, and these bacteria "can be", quite dangerous. Many people cook rotten milk to somewhat purify it and make it safe for eating, however the bacteria still creates toxins in the milk leaving it somewhat poisonous depending on what kind of bacteria was living in it, so try not to eat it.
