@mangemeer @samthielman @_waleedshahid Except if you are European, or directly descended from Europeans. It's a well established fact that the vast majority of Europeans can digest lactose, also known as lactase persistence, and has been able to do that for thousands of years.

@sam_coheeen the mutation that allows some to drink milk isn't possessed by huge swaths of the species and there's a case to be made for claiming its prominence in society was due in part to lobbying and marketing push by the industry

@AnnaJerzewska @chris_bore I think it's lactose in particular that matters, esp the amount of lactose you consume in one go. Cheese has less of it, and people tend to eat smaller quantities of cheese. Plus Japan has ~Spanish levels of lactose intolerance, ie fairly low. https://t.co/nuhHZA6t68 https://t.co/UMUANrunmy
