The Myth That Only Adult Humans Drink Milk

The Myth That Only Adult Humans Drink Milk Guest: Joel Green
Whenever the discussion of drinking milk arises, someone inevitably says “ well only humans drink milk as adults”. This argument seems to imply that drinking milk is bad for you, and that no other creatures on the planet but humans do this as evidence of its inappropriateness. Even Arnold was quoted from his Pumping Iron movie saying “milk is for babies” as its inappropriateness for the bodybuilder diet. Meanwhile in the same time frame and geographical locale fathers of Physical Culture like LaLane, Gironda, Tanny credited raw unpasteurized milk and cream as their secret to building muscle and staying lean in their pre-anabolic steroid era.

Today we will explore this notion that dairy is somehow inappropriate once one is mature and has been weened to solid food “alternatives. And is there any truth to this notion that humans are the only species on the planet that continue to drink milk as adults.
