"With modern diets, eliminating dairy from the diet – for any reason whatsoever – will result in poor nutrition with long-term consequences for health," said Heaney.

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.

Without lowfat and fat free milk and milk products in the diet, it's hard to meet nutrient needs ...

Surely they're not implying that "lowfat and fat free milk and milk products" have a greater nutritional value than dairy products containing natural amounts of milk fat.

Actually there are something like 500 different genetic changes that've been identified in Europeans that make it possible for them to use diary products as adults ~ and to turn them into white folks as well.

500 changes suggests some serious REDESIGN.

The percentage of whites with lactose intolerance is fairly consistent with the percentage of whites today who live in deserts or highland areas not conducive to dairy cattle, or in high latitudes where, again, dairy farming is difficult.

Our nuclear family is 100% lactose intolerant. We know about what happens ~ 1 cup?! Hahahahahahah!!!!! You can blow out the toilet with that!

The lactase pills are necessary.

At the same time some dairy products are effectively lactose free ~ yoghurt, Lactaid, aged cheddar, other aged cheeses at least 9 months old ~ more if possible, and those cooked such that the lactose combines with other sugars.

I haven't been able to drink even half a cup of milk for 43 years ~ not even the amount mixed in whipped mashed potatos ~ without also using a lactase pill or eating yoghurt beforehand.

I do not trust The American Dairy Council when it comes to dairy products ~ they lie through their teeth!

Word to the wise ~ given that triple creem brei is pretty much concentrated milk and milk by products, always eat yoghurt before or with a chunk of that stuff. It goes down easier after the mushrooms grow fruiting bodies on top BTW.

Agreed. And there is a BIG difference between lactose intolerant and a true allergy to cow’s milk. Having the latter, I can tell everyone that it is quite possible and not difficult to get all the nutrients without the milk.
