Or pretty close to it, are lactose intolerant.

Why?

Because milk is for baby cows, human breast milk is for human babies. The people who are not lactose intolerant are people with pale skin and/or have genetic ancestry from the northern regions of Europe. This is historical fact. Milk drinking, from animals is not natural and most people can't digest it.

Besides, once a human reaches its third year, there is no nutritional need for it, otherwise we'd all still be nursing... for those whose mothers nursed them. Cow's milk is probably responsible for many physical maladies regarding bone density and muscle and brain development.

What happens when a cow is born? It gets up and starts to walk around, the milk is meant to promote the muscle and bone development needed to be a cow.

Humans, on the other hand, start brain development at birth, sure muscles and bone are developing too but not at the rate of brain development which is why we don't get up and start walking around for almost a year.

Anybody see that difference? This is why the myth of milk is a problem we should observe for our own good.

I use it in my coffee and once in a while I cook it into things but I don't drink the stuff, too slimy and it tastes awful on its own. Some fermented products are nice but for lactose intolerant folks, not a main item in their diets.
