Does she do her own writing? I hope it's all her.
As an incredibly intolerant to lactose individual, I am willing to go through "shock" therapy to cure the affliction. Ladies please DM for an invite. Thank you, and god bless.
actually lactose intolerance is mostly intolerant to cow milk.
Whenever I see whatever said by Cunk I can't breathe properly for a moment. I just love these absurdities
Wait is that left at london the musician?? If so I had a date with her once while I was living in Seattle lol
This was written before big naturals really took off as an extremely funny joke

@brbposting@sh.itjust.works we did it!
Right, because every breast everywhere is always lactating all the time. Unstoppable milk machines, coming to genocide the lactose-intolerant.
You seem fun
when people tell you who they are, believe them
for instance, while I may not believe you fart actual glitter all the time, I also have no doubt that the sort of person who sets "I_Fart_Glitter" as their username also has no qualms about shoving some craft herpes up their funhole just to prove me wrong
now, taking what we've learned from this, what's their username? what does it tell you? it's quite possible they're just unfathomably stupid, instead of or in addition to being a killjoy.
I man, I'm not intolerant, but I'm willing to give it a try in the name of science
I wonder if that's been seen in infants. Lactose isn't as complex molecule like wheat gluten, so it should be the same coming from Mom as from a goat or camel or a cow. If someone only reacts to cow milk, then they're sensitive to dairy. Do they get the runs lactose-free milk?
So my understanding is that normally the enzymes to process lactose are available in newborns.
If we follow the design Mother Nature intended, as soon as we start eating solid foods we stop drinking milk and or body stops producing those enzymes making us effectively lactose intolerant.
But since humans do drink milk the body continues to produce those enzymes.
Some people still lose that that ability and then there are also ones who never had them. That makes them lactose intolerant.
Also being lactose intolerant doesn't kill you, you just can't break it up, so you will have upset stomach, fart etc.
I believe there is a lactose free milk for newborns for those scenarios.
My understanding is that there's lactose in all milk so probably it applies too.
Also besides being lactose intolerant, you can also be allergic to milk, which is much more serious, but that can vary on kind of a milk.
Yes, except that you don't gain tolerance simply from continuing to drink milk. It's a regional evolutionary change from many generations continuing to drink milk and the majority of adults across the globe are actually lactose intolerant.
Worldwide, around 65% of adults are affected by lactose malabsorption. Other mammals usually lose the ability to digest lactose after weaning. Lactose intolerance is the ancestral state of all humans before the recent evolution of lactase persistence in some populations, which extends lactose tolerance into adulthood.
(Lactase is the enzyme for breaking down lactose.)

I'm surprised the middle east doesn't have a higher concentration of lactase producers. I was under the impression that's where the Aurochs was first domesticated into cattle.
Wikipedia has a decent summary in the History section here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk#History
Key points, if I'm understanding things correctly:
You made assumptions that are wrong. Goat milk is fine for the lactose intolerant. Heck even A2 dairy is fine for some. Lactaid milk, and others like it, are also fine because they add the lactase enzyme to it that breaks down the lactose. Hard cheeses are usually fine because the lactose has been broken down by the cheese aging process.
Lactaid milk removes the lactose altogether. It's the Lactaid supplement that has the lactase in it.
