Evidence suggests those that can tolerate lactose as adults are descended from farmers who drank milk to survive during seasons of bad yields.
Milk is full of great vitamins and minerals. I haven’t verified this claim but I heard someone say recently a person can entirely meet their entire nutritional needs on purely milk and potatoes, which doesn’t sound super pleasant to have as a diet, it’s certainly an easy baseline to meet
Just because it’s essential for life doesn’t mean that people have to like it. I really don’t like drinking water unless it’s just out of the fridge or cooler. I always add cordial to it.
I used to think like this in high school until I joined football and learned how much I loved water during practice, now I carry a water bottle everywhere for a swig whenever I get a slight thirst
Not judging you on your milk drinking, but drinking too much milk can have serious side effects. Humans weren’t biologically made to drink milk their whole lives.
Everyone knows alcohol is poison. Not many people know the side effects of drinking too much milk. You could actually become addicted to it and it would become a problem.
I had a friend who had some trouble with it, which is why I typed that comment.
You’re getting downvoted but you’re actually correct. My grandfather was told by his doctor not to drink so much milk. He drank at least 3 glasses a day. I forget why but if you’re telling an 85 yo to stop doing something as a doctor, it probably has some bad short-term effects
We show the estimable rational addiction model tends to yield spurious evidence in favor of the rational addiction hypothesis when aggregate data are used. Direct application of the canonical model yields results seemingly indicative that non-addictive commodities such as milk, eggs, and oranges are rationally addictive.
This is literally a study about how to get bad conclusions from this model of addiction. It’s supposed to be ridiculous.
I just like having milk with every meal. I don’t like water and having dinner with a fizzy drink is just wrong.
What do you mean you dont like water? You mean that liquid that makes you die if you dont have any for a couple days?
Milk is absolutely disgusting during a meal since it gets so warm and gross.
Historically, milk was generally consumed warm. Breasts aren’t kegerators.
Historically it was only consumed by babies too.

Sounds plausible. The main thing peds worry about for toddlers primarily subsisting off milk is iron deficiency. Potatoes have iron and vitamin c.
Milk is absolutely delightful with greasy foods. When are you supposed to drink it if not with meals?
I hate milk. I use oat milk with my coffee and that is it
Milk is disgusting with all foods, or by itself
Your taste buds are defective buddy
Nope. I don’t eat chalk either
No it doesn’t. Milk can stay cold for ages. Like I would have any meal gone within 10 minutes.
Consuming a meal in less than ten minutes is really not indicative of healthy eating habits.

I do drink frequently when I go cycling or walking.
Respectfully, what the fuck?!

They weren’t biologically made to drink alcohol or eat big macs their whole lives either yet here you are.
Yeah, this is a hella weird comment in an alcohol thread. That stuff is actually toxic, and popular mainly because of it.
What’s with Lemmy’s obsession with water? Most people know that water is the best thing to drink but this site is preachy as fuck about it.
The hydrohomies are all grown up, I guess?
I haven’t actually seen that.

Source? Addictive milk is kind of “out of left field” for me.

That’s my mistake! Had company and posted something I didn’t read. My apologies. Maybe I can learn something from this article then.
Very true, yet lactose intolerance is quite common among humans.
Its not mandatory, but I’ll have you know this is incorrect.
