Cow belle ping.
Really, baloney! While I consume lots of dairy products myself and think they are great, the amount of vitamin D in milk is small and you can get the other nutrients from other foods. Human adults were not designed to require milk, and human infants were not designed for milk other than human.
I’ve tried almond milk recently. It’s pretty good.
It causes gas, diarrhea, severe discomfort, AND inhibits the uptake of ALL OTHER NUTRIENTS!!!!
As one of 90% of those of Asian descent sufferers (those within a 10 foot circle suffer, me not so much) I say man up and open the windows. Milk is goooood.
I drank a lot of milk as a child, and have had only one broken/cracked bone. My tailbone, from falling down the basement stairs trying to catch my ferret one morning. Ouch.
I was Lactose intolerant. Then, my boss made me go to a multicultural sensitivity seminar. Now, I have the same respect for Lactoses as I do for everyone else.
I suspect there are a lot of hormones in milk (used by dairy farmers to increase production) than years ago.
Hell, you can take probiotics that are made to help digest dairy products. Half the time I think lactose-intolerant people just don’t have the bacterial flora they need to aid them in digesting milk products. If you supplement it you can re-populate the gut with the necessary bacteria and probably deal with it a lot better.
I am mildly lactose intolerant. I use it to make me regular. Better than ex lax. If I get bound up I eat a bowl of ice cream and it moves me. LOL.
I praise the day I discovered Lactose free milk!
