Pure and unadulterated BS. Many peoples of equatorial Africa for centuries have had milk as a main source of their diet. Some fermented it, mixed it with cereal grains, some still today relish a mixture of cow's blood and milk, which they have drank since time immemorial.

1. Fermented milk products have had the lactose removed.

2. Lots of people are lactose intolerant, most specifically Asians. The biochemistry is simple. As an infact the enzyme beta-galactosidase operates to split lactose to glucose and galactose. In adult life a new enzyme appears, lactase that also cleaves lactose. The beta-glalctosidase levels drop. People who are lactose intolerant don't make much lactase, but the bacteria in their intestinal tracts love it, so it gives you intestinal problems.

The Bantu people arose in equatorial and West Africa, true, but they certainly have not had cattle since 'time immemorial'. Cattle were introduced from the north probably around 100 AD.

BTW, fermenting it destroys the lactose.

Since the article made exactly the same point you made, I don't see how it can be "pure and unadulterated BS" -- unless you're calling your own statement "pure and unadulterated BS" too.

" yeah seems to me I have seen documentaries on these Masai people who drink cows milk and blood.

Pure and unadulterated BS.

It seems to me that a lot of the little young pup's just out of collage and/or in collage don't know __it, about the history of the world. People in Africa, not only drink cow's milk, but they drink camel's milk, goat milk, and mare's milk. And I guess they have been doing it for year's. So I guess you nailed it.

Here they call fermented milk 'kefir'. It's very good.
