[QUOTE="AloeSvea, post: 2204244, member: 150927"] [FONT=Arial]Just popping in again with my human evolutionary biological pov here - adaptation to other mammals' milk [I]and the products of that cream and milk, [/I]has only been going on for about 10,000 years, and our species has been in full operation for something between 200,000 and 300,000 years. Drinking and eating other mammals' milk and dairy products has been going on for a mere drop in the homo sapiens timeline pool, as it were. Hence the 70% of dairy intolerant folk! A bro of mine is one of them and he can't eat any dairy products comfortably, not just the milk. Poor guy had a constant snivel throughout our childhood, and I won't even start on digestion issues. Who is tolerant? Northern Europeans, parts of the Middle East, parts of India. Pitch in with other areas? That leaves an awful lot who aren't. (Um - scientifically/geographically speaking - ethnic-Brits are Europeans! We aren't talking trade relations here. :).) And what were we eating? We humans pre horticulture and agriculture. For all all those hundreds of 1000s of years? Animals and birds, and water/sea creatures, birds' eggs, and whatever we could out off of bushes and trees and out of the ground growing there, wild. Starchy vegetables were a real find, I take it. As was fruit, and honey. And in the days before refined sugar and excess and processed carbs - our blood glucose system could well handle it. (Gee, I miss sweet potato/kuumara.) (But it's 28 degrees today so I am not missing it right now! More like - ice blocks!) (I am going to have to severely ration, as in just for a taste with mere tiny slivers of all those peaches growing out in my backyard....) The milk? Our mother's, and any other woman's who happened to be looking after us who felt like it or took pity on a crying baby! Of course. While we were little. That was [I]real low[/I] carbon footprint times![/FONT] [/QUOTE]
