Most of What You Think You Know About Milk Is Probably Dairy Industry Lies [View all]

Got milk allergy? Many people including Native Americans and people of Asian, African and South American descent are lactose intolerant and can’t and don't drink milk. That is the way nature made them over epochs and no one ever died of a dairy deficiency.

But there is money in dairy. That is why American fast food companies try to bring the love of dairy to cultures where it traditionally hasn't existed. And that is why the National Dairy Promotion and Research Board and the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board in the US disseminate "educational" materials that address "misconceptions about lactose intolerance" according to research in Born With a Junk Food Deficiency, How Flaks, Quacks, and Hacks Pimp the Public Health. The marketing groups bragged to Congress that they regularly assure people in such ethnic groups that their lactose intolerance "should not be a barrier to including milk in the diet,” in an ongoing effort to help US dairy farmers. Ka-ching.
