Mampires
An interesting article about the rise of lactose tolerance:
The rise of civilization coincided with a strange twist in our evolutionary history. We became, in the coinage of one paleoanthropologist, “mampires” who feed on the fluids of other animals.Rather perverted, was it not? You might even call it "against nature". This is why we humans ( Read more... )

Well: http://www.glutathionediseasecure.com/milk-allergy-asthma.html this is highly odd. I do get mucus issues with milk, my asthma is going away at the same time I was taking extra calcium and Vitamin D (I am also calcium deficient, partly probably cos of diet (lack of milk is one maybe?) and lack of sun. Apparently Vit D is good for asthma - but there's all sorts of contradiction about milk & asthma. It's never lead to an attack or illness, I don't think I'm lactose intolerant - smoke and mould intolerant, yes. Cream has, so I switched to real greek yoghurt as an alternative. Which is lower in lactose and higher in cysteine...interesting.
I did look at some homeopathic site which the various findings and references were interesting, but the conclusion is bollocks, apart from reduce stress and maybe avoid antibiotics - those two are well known by my doctors (non-homeopathic!) but I never linked milk & asthma, apart from finding I do get extreme mucus production, to the level I have to watch what I drink/eat before a podcast.

Funny, I don't miss milk much, and ice cream just little bit, but cheese and yogurt ... those I would consume more of if it wasn't for the mucus production they cause.
