Matching Foods:
There is a interesting discussion in the PT community about whether or not humans are meant to digest dairy. While many people are lactose intolerant, others have adapted:
"People have been dairying for thousands (probably tens of thousands) of years. Dairy products provided reliable (you don't have to hunt for it) sources of proteins and fats for African, Mediterranean, and European peoples when those nutrients were much harder to come by than they are now.
As a result, people have adapted to drink cow's milk. No kidding! In times and places of less plenty, there was a strong selective advantage to being able to digest lactose. Genes favoring lactose digestion are common among Mediterranean peoples, Scandinavians, and the Maasai, and they seem to have become fixed in these populations independently. "
Regardless of what you think, milk is on a list of foods commonly avoided.
