Who knows. Maybe more people are lactose intolerant now.

Neither do I. Not cow milk.
Anyways milkβs gotten bad press for a decade or so. Hormones, thereβs pus in pasteurized milk. Other somewhat ambiguous criticisms (hormones? Whyβs that bad?) that imply they have merit. Personally I think they do; milk retains micro and macro nutritional benefits (calcium, protein) hut macronutrient profile for skim has high sugar content and normal milk is high in fat which was demonized for decades.

Personally I think thereβs merit to the theory about lack of marketing. I have not seen a commercial specifically promoting milk to kids in years.

Those are macro and micro nutrients that milk has. Yes.
Milk also has copious amounts of cow pus due to the hormones they inject in these animals. So thereβs that.
Also I think it provokes an insulin response but idk for sure and donβt really care.
Everyone is lactose intolerant to some degree but itβs usually so negligible, Iβd you can ignore all the pus youβre guzzling down your throat, itβs a relatively healthy item to be consuming. Relatively being the key word; there isnβt that much protein or vitamin D. Good amount of calcium but can obtain that from cow milk substitutes. Or you can get raw cow milk and that wouldnβt have a material amount of pus.

β 2 years ago(April 11, 2023 10:06 PM)You can obtain the calcium from substitutes but a lot of people arenβt doing that. I feel like most people donβt eat enough calcium rich foods to justify not drinking milk or at least substituting with supplements. There is a growing issue with osteoporosis among women especially minority women largely because of calcium deficiency.
