Actually the lactose tolerance mutation happened between 2000 and 20,000 years ago and although the causes are still not know, scientists believe famine pushed the change as milk is really nutritious and saved many from starvation.
But you are correct about the great numbers of people that are lactose intolerant, as even nowadays only 35% of the world's population can drink milk without any type of problems (mostly with European ancestry).

I hate milk and those shake things...I wonder if they can make it into a cheese though. eating a couple slices of cheese a day for health would be fine by me.

I used to drink a lot of milk, whole. I have a vit D deficiency. I stopped drinking milk and take a large Vit D supplement. My 'bad cholesterol' has gone down. My BP has always been 116/60 and is still the same.
Drinking a lot of milk seems to be a US/Canada thing. The rest of the world thinks it is for baby cows. I find that to be true.

3.9 mmhg lower that's nothing impressive, hardly a cure for hypertension.

The main protein in milk is also a carcinogen. And it also creates a acidic like state in our bodies, and you know the best base in our bodies to counter the acidic state? OUR BONES.

Hi,
Statistically, I don't think any inferences can be made from such a tiny sample size.
Your comment on supplements is not based on science
in fact many supplements have plenty of evidence behind them. I take numerous supplements. Take a look at examine.com where all research on supplements is available. You can search individual supplements and the evidence is even broken down for you in an easy to read matrix.
Not sure why you say ricotta cheese is an acquired taste. Tiramisu (one of the few desserts I eat) is widely available in the UK although some mistake the ricotta for cream.

Milk has interesting psychoactive components. It makes people susceptible to suggestion, and puts the brain in a 'soft' state that is more malleable and receptive to learning new information.
Interestingly, alcohol has the opposite effects.

Very interesting, never heard of that. Do you have any links I can read?
No contribution of ascorbic acid to renal calcium oxalate stones.
Abstract
Even though a certain part of oxalate in the urine derives from metabolized ascorbic acid (AA), the intake of high doses of vitamin C does not increase the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones due to physiological regulatory factor: gastrointestinal absorption as well as renal tubular reabsorption of AA are saturable processes, and the metabolic transformation of AA to oxalate is limited as well. Older assays for urinary oxalate favored in vitro conversion of AA to oxalate during storage and processing of the samples. Recurrent stone formers and patients with renal failure who have a defect in AA or oxalate metabolism should restrict daily vitamin C intakes to approximately 100 mg. But in the large-scale Harvard Prospective Health Professional Follow-Up Study, those groups in the highest quintile of vitamin C intake (> 1,500 mg/day) had a lower risk of kidney stones than the groups in the lowest quintiles.
