... and milk?
- mironathetin 11y agoMilk from cows? No. Causes many problems (lactose, cholesterol).
- krapp 11y agoI think arbitrage may be referring to human milk, because humans are, you know, mammals.

- noir_lord 11y agoNot really across all of humanity. The majority of the human race lack the ability to digest milk (more specifically lactose sugar) once they are passed weaning. It was a relatively recent mutation in some human populations (Northern Europe et al) that allows them to continue digesting lactose into adulthood. They think this was because in Northern Climates where growing crops was more difficult milk and dairy products where a much larger source of calories than in other places as well as an excellent way of storing a valuable food product (Cheese however has relatively low levels of lactose at around ~1% compared to regular milk at ~5%). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase_persistence https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactase_persistence
