No. Except for vitamin D, which is pretty much added to most milk here.

Well, I've noticed a reduction in choice in the last few years.
I used to be a whole milk only person. I finally got myself used to
2%, then 1%, and finally 1/2%. Never could quite take true skim milk,
but 1/2% I was OK with, but they took it away. No one carries it
anymore, so I've moved back 1%. Still can't hack skim.

Should have been obvious. A little observation would make anyone
deduce that milk would come out. Now the first person to eat a
lobster had to be *hungry*.
