Ive recently read a few websites that basically detail why humans should not drink milk/eat dairy products.
Basically the conclusion is as such, humans are not supposed to be drinking milk. Most of the eastern world are all lactose intolerant. ie: We have the capability as children to digest milk (from our mothers) and at around 5 or 6 we lost that ability. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose...rance_by_group
In fact, a majority of humans in the world are lactose intolerant.
It has only been in recent years that a genetic mutation in western countries has allowed humans to carry on drinking milk throughout their lives.
Now, what is milk for?
Baby humans and animals drink milk. No full grown animals drink milk naturally. Its a specialized substance designed to help young animals. Each "mother" has specialized milk for its species.
Cow's milk is PERFECT for BABY COWS.
Cats milk is PERFECT for BABY CATS
Humans milk is PERFECT for HUMAN BABIES.
For some reason, we have let these facts slide and now humans drink a substance which has been designed by nature to make baby cows grow nice and fat!
We are sold milk based on advertising by the companies that make billions from selling milk. Hell yeah they're going to say we need to drink a pint a day!
Worse still, cows milk is full of hormones. (designed for baby cows). It's well known that hormones can seriously cause weird and bad effects when they're not needed.
For example, many women notice their skin is worse at certain periods of the month.
Since quitting dairy myself, my skin has been in a much better state. Ive also felt less bloated and my nose has felt much less stuffy and breathing has been clearer.
It makes so much sense to me when I understand how we've been sold a lie.
Would you drink dogs milk?
All of these are designed for their specific species, by thousands of years of evolution. And even more specifically for the babies of that species.
