Some people can cope with digesting it better than others.
If your ancestors originated in high milk consumption countries like Norway, Holland and Switzerland, you have the constitution whereby you have retained the ability to produce the enzymes needed to digest it.
The video explains this more.

I know there is supposed to be no scientific evidence to support the fact that milk increases mucus production, but my body tells me different.

That's why I use very little myself Margaret, it certainly affects my chest if I have to much milk suffice to say I only have milk at weekends in coffee and I only drink water Monday to Friday

Since cows (cattle) were first domesticated about BC 7000 , about 9000 yrs ago dont you think any health problems would have been noticed before now .
..
re. your premise that because the Chinese and Japanese are lactose intolerant does not mean that Northern Europeans are . Similarily American aboriginals have different genetics that causes problems when they consume alcohol (think its liver enzymes) not all humans (different races/breeds) are the same and have developed in different ways , levels of intelligence is one that comes to mind.

I didn't say that Europeans were lactose intolerant. I made the observation that the Chinese do not include milk in their diet......I made no mention at all of Japanese dietary intake of milk.

Our nation is made up of many differing peoples, whose antecedents could have come from anywhere.
I know from my own observations of how I personally react to milk, and milk products........ that they don't agree with me......and that is not surprising, because whatever you may think of me, I am not related to a cow.
The primary function of cow's milk is to nurture young bovines......that is what nature intended it for........ not humans.

Many people are highly suspicious about how IQ tests are conducted and interpreted.
They are not the 'Gold Standard' in determining intelligence or intellect.

Margaret Pilkington · 09-09-2009, 17:49

And that article you have given us a link, to is not really to be trusted, since much of the research is unverified, and is criticised as being biased.

I barely consume dairy products but I do love a bit of cheese every now and again.

Another myth about milk (and I haven't watched the video here so forgive me if it was said) is that it contains a lot of calcium. There is actually more calcium in green veggies such as brocolli!

But something stunts their grown & makes their eyes slant, maybe its lack of milk in the diet?

Chinese are stupidly healthy people, generally have great hair and nails and have high intelligence levels. I've not met any Chinese people at university yet that I consider unhealthy or inferior anyway, usually quite the opposite. And there is a large number of chinese students here at Lancaster University, mostly studying business related subjects.

Obvious you have never had the misfortune to take the '21 Stockton St.' bus that runs thru Chinatown in San Francisco , hoards of them coughing and spitting everywhere ,carrying live chickens and turtles,(not family pets , but tonights dinner) any idea of standing in a line/queue is a totally alien concept .

Yes, this is absolutely NOTHING to do with milk consumption and everything to do with poverty, the exact same sort of poverty you see within every single race on the planet. Thanks for that insightful observation.
