Now after many eons of milk consumption all of a sudden in the last 60-70 years AFTER the intoduction of pasturization some people have become lactose intolerent. Does the mainstream blame pasturization for this?
Absolutely not! It must be that milk is just bad for human consumption despite thousands of years of human consumption and the new proccessing techniques that came just before the spread of lactose intolerence are blameless. Right

I'm lactose intolerant. I was breastfed as a baby, then western man told us that milk was the best darn thing next to breast milk. Of course "westerners" knew what was best for Asians right? Or so my mother thought. I was forced to drink the recommended four cups a day. I remember having terrible stomach cramps until I was around 12 and decided that I wasn't gonna drink cow milk anymore. Have been on soy milk ever since. It's an Asian thing.
Pasteurized milk is to blame for childhood autism though, right?
