Regular pasteurized milk is problematic due to the presence of nucleic acids that are biologically active in humans. Fermented food products like yogurt are fine. UHT milk is OK. Milk is not just food but most likely a genetic transfection system activating mTORC1 signaling for postnatal growth https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23883112/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23883112/

Yes it contains (natural) growth hormones. And we (milk binging nations) wonder how we got so fat?!

  No, you do not quite understand: it is much more serious than "growth hormones" like rBST. Milk drinkers are inserting bovine RNA into their cells (unless it is heavily fermented or UHT) > Milk is rich in miRNAs that appear to play important roles in the postnatal development of all mammals. https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12986-016-0101-2 https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10... > There is compelling evidence that human and bovine milk exosomes play a crucial role for adequate metabolic and immunological programming of the newborn infant at the beginning of extrauterine life. Milk exosomes assist in executing an anabolic, growth-promoting and immunological program confined to the postnatal period in all mammals. However, epidemiological and translational evidence presented in this review indicates that continuous exposure of humans to exosomes of pasteurized milk may confer a substantial risk for the development of chronic diseases of civilization including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis, common cancers (prostate, breast, liver, B-cells) as well as Parkinson's disease. Exosomes of pasteurized milk may represent new pathogens that should not reach the human food chain. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6317263/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6317263/

    How did dairy ever become a health food is beyond me. (lobby + tradition probably) The whole "calcium" argument is also totally debunked.

      Cows convert grass to something drinkable and caloric so it's good for surviving on the steppe with your cows.
