I question your ability to actually understand the sources that you have quoted here. They don't support your arguments. Just because scientists frequently investigate potential negative externalities of milk consumption doesn't imply that it's unhealthy to consume.
That first article is actually extremely interesting, but the authors overstate the significance of their findings by quite a distance.
See this quote
UHT milk is already widely available and is simply a form of pasteurization that utilizes a higher temperature to kill bacterial endospores and apparently, milk exosomes. So the existence of that form of pasteurization, which the authors apparently prefer to distinguish from more conventional pasteurization for no apparent reason, largely invalidates the litany of potential concerns that they laid out.
Furthermore, their health concerns are largely speculative and based on limited evidence. The main focus of the research seems to be caused by the fact that milk exosomes are currently being considered for use as vessels for the delivery of medicinal drugs.
The authors seem to be arguing against the use of this technique, and possibly for good reason. But that is an entirely separate argument from the one that you are trying to construct.
