It has nothing to do with milk consumption whether or not you are able to digest it. Some adults can digest milk because of genetic mutation that occured in northern-europe thousands (or hundreds who knows) years ago.
That's why most blacks and asians are lactose intolerant.
"The 'African-American diet' is more likely to be low in a variety of vitamins and minerals, including calcium. African-Americans consume low amounts of dairy foods and do not meet recommended intakes of a variety of vitamins and minerals, including calcium. Low intake of calcium and other nutrients put African-Americans at an increased risk for chronic diseases. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend consuming three servings of dairy foods per day to ensure adequate calcium intake, among other nutrients, and the National Medical Association has recently published a similar recommendation of three to four servings of dairy per day for the African-American population. Research has shown that lactose maldigesters, including African-American maldigesters, can consume at least one cup (8 oz) of milk without experiencing symptoms, and that tolerance can be improved by consuming the milk with a meal, choosing yogurt or hard cheeses, or using products that aid in the digestion of lactose such as lactase supplements or lactose-reduced milks."
This couldnt get any more propaganda feeling to it.
"oh cmon you can drink one glass of milk. You dont wanna die do you?"
