I don't want to go all Paleo, but the fact that certain human populations acquired the capacity to process lactose as adults, does suggest, at the very minimum, that consuming diary isn't extremely detrimental to those populations. That doesn't prove that it is the ideal foodstuff to consume, because it may not be optimum for longevity, but it does suggest that dairy isn't poison if the adaption to consume it into adulthood was so beneficial to the ancestors of Europeans that virtually every person of European descent has it.

For those with lactose intolerance, taking a lactase enzyme supplement with the first bite usually works fine. I've been doing that for 25 years. It's been great...never had to give up dairy! Also, foods like cheese and yogurt can be less of an issue with some people because in the process of producing them some of the lactose disaccharides have been broken down. Thanks for posting! Can you make a video on the specifics of dairy, vitamin D, and bone density? I've heard Dr. Lustig say that you can't absorb calcium from milk because of the phosphorus. I've never heard of this and it seems far fetched. I haven't done the research but it definitely seems like dairy consumers in general have better bone density.

In my early 20s I was terribly "lactose intolerant". I couldn't eat anything with dairy in it without lactaid pills (or so I thought) and I thought since I was African American, that this was an inevitability. In my late 20s, I started slowly reintroducing milk into my diet and I found that I could tolerate it in small amounts. This effect increased until now in my mid-30s where I can drink as much milk as I want all at once (I can drink liters at a time with minimal issues). I think that most people who claim they are lactose intolerant have simply stopped consuming dairy regularly or may be dealing with some mild form of SIBO, or something along those lines.

Latest research (June 2022): Men with higher intakes of dairy foods, especially milk, face a significantly higher risk of prostate cancer compared to men with lower intakes, according to a new study conducted by researchers at Loma Linda University Health. The study found no such associations between increased prostate cancer risk and intake of non-dairy calcium, suggesting substances other than calcium play a role in the risk dairy foods poses for prostate cancer. “Our findings add important weight to other evidence associating dairy products, rather than non-dairy calcium, as a modifiable risk factor for prostate cancer,” said Gary Fraser, MBChB, PhD, the study's principal investigator and professor at Loma Linda University School of Medicine and School of Public Health.

That’s not unique to dairy though. Lots of foods appear to inhibit dairy absorption, like coffee and brown rice. The good thing is that the effect appears to be short-lived, so if iron’s a concern you just have to plan ahead a bit. Have a meal or two with plenty of iron-rich foods and some fruit (vitamin C boosts absorption of non-heme iron). Then if you want some oats or coffee you can have that later.

Yeah it's funny, people say to follow the scientific evidence and don't listen to anecdotes but if you think about it, a study is just an adecdote made by a scientist and his subjects which can be manipulated to look a certain way due to conflicts of interests, biases and industry funding.

@@Lieutenant-Dan Holy shit that logic, well it’s not logic.

So it happened to then it must be applicable to more than 50% of the population. It happens to me too, but I have sense enough to realize that it takes a hell of a lot more than a few percent of the population to prove cause and effect…genius.

@@Uncle-Bull Who said it applies to more than 50% of the population? The rest of your reply is... ridiculously wrong.

I feel you left out an important topic which is skin health. Somehow cutting out dairy works wonders for acne. Read some of Melnik's mechanistic papers.

[@biolayne1]

But the RCTs tho

[@shaynewilliams4482]

This is my own anecdotal experience, but dairy has been problematic for me. I'm of african and south asian genetics though. But all I know is that when ever I add dairy into my diet in high amounts, acne goes up mucus does increase, and my asthma goes from being nonexistent to being VERY existent. A night and day difference really. But hey that's just me. I will say, just because a research paper doesn't indicate something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist or is not the case. Things don't just START existing once a research paper comes out. The same way I'll also say that evidence of certain realities exists FAR before research papers come out, as often times it's "anecdotal" evidence that motivates people to take a more scientific and strategic evaluation of things in the first place to increase the quality or authoritativeness of the evidence at hand. Love the videos as always though.

Dairy makes me get acne… particularly soy and whey.

Dairy does not increase muscus but it sure thickens it, which is why so people feel congested and dont like it

I've seen enough about the dairy industry to avoid it. The idea is kind of gross when you think about the details.

[@afost5965]

Hello- sincere question here Layne. When you are referencing these studies... do you put any consideration on who’s funding the studies to see if there could be any bias? Thank you!

[@biolayne1]

If your only criticism of a study is the funding source, it says more about YOUR bias than the researchers

[@dsmilges]

​@@biolayne1 Let's not pretend the dairy and meat industry (often the funding sources) don't have significant influence in the outcome of these studies and whether or not they are even published. It is a major red flag.

Cheese alone makes my cheeks tingle (some weird cold sensation hard to explain). I get along with aged Cheese (low lactose) fine GI track wise, yoghurt on the other hand makes makes my nose stuffy and yeah I get increased phlegm though after experimenting not all brands are the same and too much gas and even diarrhea with fermented milk. my guess is either reacting to some type of bacteria used in the fermentation process or just lactose content. I'm most probabaly I am (north african here).

If your are lactase persistent ( like 35% of the population is), it is very good for you. 100% grassfed whole fat milk, is awesome for you.

I used to get bronchitis once or twice a year really bad for 30 years . I gave up dairy 6 years ago and haven’t gotten any chest infections since. Maybe coincidence ? Maybe something specific about my body reaction? Who knows .

[@felixberkowitz936]

I love dairy, i consume lots of it and it works great for me. My daughter, on the other hand, used to get bronchitis every year. Sometimes even pneumonia. Someone told us to cut dairy out of her diet and things realy changed. I can’t explain it.

[@biolayne1]

Or it was just random. This is why we do studies

[@M3W3]

Sometimes I find it such hypocritical… those who claim dairy bad and drink alternate dairy source… I have so many friends don’t drink dairy with the same bad for health reason then next thing I see them finish whole bag of potato Chips, gummy bears etc… seriously… so many follow the trend without even knowing why they do it… why can’t people just enjoy dairy just because dairy simply “taste so good” ! *put aside the health concern, everything in excess is not healthy anyway

We've been consuming dairy for at least as long as we've been cultivating grains.

[@helios4425]

Back in 1886, Frans von Soxhlet, a German agricultural chemist, was the first person to suggest that milk sold to the public be pasteurized. So only 135 years..

[@wyzasukitan]

@@helios4425 people have been consuming unpasteurized milk for as long as we’ve cultivated livestock (goats, camels, cattle, horses etc), ie over several thousand years. The standard process of pasteurization is relatively new in comparison, but human dairy intake was never historically contingent on whether it has been pasteurized or not.

[@nicoleallen3079]

What other things besides lactose intolerance could cause an immediate negative reaction? I’ve been told I’m lactose intolerant, but I’ve drunk the milk and taken the pills, but they do nothing. I’ve tried the A2 milk thinking that could help. I can’t even do whey protein isolate. Is there such a thing as someone that just can’t do dairy? My entire family is this way.

You could have a reaction to the cow milk protein casein. Easy way to find out is to try goat or sheep milk and see
