I think milk is heterogeneous mixture
There seems to be some disagreement on the Internet about milk is or is not a homogeneous mixture. The argument against it is that milk contains fat globules that can settle out; however, homogenized milk has made the fat globules so small that they are colloidal in nature and colloids don't settle out. I think milk is a homogeneous mixture since it is the same composition throughout.
