MILK is processed, it is terrible for human consumption.

It's a 16 part lecture here on youtube. I like what Pollan …

The thing is, the goodness of milk is devided along racial lines. Most of the world’s population have been exempt from the 9000-year evolution which enables Europeans and some other ethnic groups to digest milk beyond infancy. Not even all of us Europeans have those genes, myself included.

What the poster means to say I reckon is that milk we can buy today is highly processed and nothing like what comes out of a cow’s tit.

How is milk terrible for human consumption?

Don’t you reckon we would have seen the unenthusiastic effects of this over the last 9,000+ years?
