Big money has been spent convincing us that we “need” milk for healthy bones, a slim waist, and to help our children grow big and strong. Diary is, after all, one of the essential food groups on the USDA’s food pyramid. It has been estimated, however, that up to 75% of the world’s population does not properly digest either the proteins (casein and whey) or the sugars (lactose) in cows milk. Therefore, we must ask ourselves, Does drinking milk do us more harm than good?
