Based on research, Western scientists have come to the conclusion that drinking adult milk is harmful for an adult. “Indeed, among mammals, to which humans belong, ” they confirm their conclusions, “milk is consumed only by calves up to a certain stage of growing up." Indeed, based on the data obtained by these scientists, it was found that the adult population of Southern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America does not tolerate milk. Their body does not absorb milk sugar - lactose. As a result, people have problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Moreover, the older the person, the worse the consequences.
Bloating, colic, diarrhea - these are the most harmless consequences that such a person may experience after drinking milk. It can be contraindicated for allergy sufferers.
However, for most residents of Russia and Northern Europe, such problems do not arise. Lactose is perfectly digested in both children and adults. This is due to the genetic level - this is how we evolved. Features of the assimilation by the body of certain types of products, depending on race, are widely known, and this has to be considered when visiting exotic countries. For us, local fruits, vegetables and berries, as well as some types of animal food, which are commonly used among the native population, may turn out to be harmful and even life-threatening.
