Why should milk not be stored in clear glass bottles?

I remember something about that, heard it on the news I think - evidently some vitamins are reduced from exposure to the florescent lights they use in the grocery stores, but if they use an opaque container (the plastic milk jugs or paper cartons) the effect the light has on the vitamins is eliminated.





This article: http://www.allbusiness.com/manufacturing鈥?/a> goes on to talk about how lights effects on vitamins is stronger in skim milk than in whole milk.





Personally I don't know how much is reduced - and I remember the good old days when milk came in a heavy glass bottle. We would go to the dairy directly to get milk and bring back the empty bottles to be sterilized and re-used. Seemed milk tasted better out of those big bottles! But I bet I'm just being nostalgic.Why should milk not be stored in clear glass bottles?
