I believe the answer is:

nauseate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'turn people green' is the definition.
'nauseate' can be an answer for 'turn' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'people green' bit.

'article about milk had' is the wordplay.
'article' becomes 'an' (English indefinite article).
'about' is a reversal indicator.
'milk' becomes 'use' (both can mean to exploit).
'had' becomes 'ate' (e.g. I had an ice cream).
'an' reversed gives 'na'.
'na'+'use'+'ate'='NAUSEATE'

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
