Yr post looked very interesting but I don't think I'm the only one who just can't wade through such a long paragraph!
One statement which jumped out was about "naturally" human babies can only stomach breastmilk for a few months - that is just ridiculous! Continuing to breastfeed up to 4 or 5 or even 6 used to be common because if the child is demand fed this goes some way to prevent another pregnancy.
I do not believe milk itself would have been healthy centuries ago because of the lack of refrigeration, which is probably how cheese and yoghurt were discovered/invented.
Why do we drink milk?
