EDIT: On your question of WHY we drink milk, it's very nutritious and stimulates growth, which is vital in young children.
I guess as time goes on, we don't really need that boost anymore. But it still is good for reinforcing bones to help prevent Osteogenesis imperfecta and other such disorders.
Yeah, but young children don't really need to drink cow or goat milk if they have breast milk for long enough in infancy.
I'ts interested me for a long time that societies without milk producing animals - eg the Australian Aboriginals - lived long healthy lives before white invasion - maybe because kids had breastmilk for quite a few years and they also walked around the country a lot.
Many Asian societies which have only recently begun to use dairy products also survived ok without animal milk.
A lot of the information given out about dairy products emanates from the dairy producers - not that I have anything against farmers, some of my best friends etc - but it's in their interests to have us believe we need dairy products to be healthy
Why do we drink milk?
