Microwaves action on milk for infants

[Leszek Balla]

I agree with most of the above statements...denaturization of the protein 
would be the limit of the "crime" in culinary terms, and only if the isolated
super-heated pockets formed during the process. There would be no effect that 
I would worry about. I drink milk heated in this fashion frequently, and most 
of you do too.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
