I was reading something recently about humans not being designed to drink cows milk (or any other animals milk) and especially not pas infancy. We should all be lactose intolerance really. Being tolerant to cows milk is not normal.

There's all kinds of rubbish spouted on the interwebs about milk.

Humans are 'designed' (if we were actually designed I want to kick the designer in the nuts :)) to drink milk. Breast milk that is. Milk is one of the moust nourishing drinks there is and has lots of vitamins and stuff in it that a growing baby needs.

A long time ago it was discovered that other animals milk can also be consumed by people and can give a lot of nutrients to us as well, provided that we are able to digest it. We have an enzyme in our digestive system called Lactase. We lose this enzyme naturally as we grow up, and we lose it by not drinking milk. If you keep drinking milk as you grow up you retain lactase, if you stop drinking milk then you lose lactase, and if you have no lactase then you are 'lactose intolerant' (what happens is the lactose in the milk gets deeper into your digestive system without being broken up by the enzyme and the bacteria etc that live lower down eat the lactose and multiply in places where they shouldn't)

Milk gives us an amazing amount of food. Milk, cream, butter, yoghurt, cheese, icecream. If we hadn't figured out that we could drink the milk of other animals our diet would be pretty paltry, especially last century, dairy has historically been a really good source of fat soluble vitamins (A D E and K) the only other major source of those is animals, for people living say 100 years ago with no refrigeration living not far above the poverty line if there wasn't milk it's likely a lot of them would have died sooner because of disease and lots of us wouldn't be here at all.

(I'm a serious ice cream geek and want to start an ice cream business eventually, so I've done a good chunk of research into ice cream science)

That's really interesting. Thanks for an informative post.
 
Is there lactose in human milk, and if so, would someone not breast-fed be more likely to be lactose intolerant?
