“Adults do not need milk” is NOT a myth! It IS a myth that you have to drink milk to get calcium. There are many sources of calcium such as leafy greens which are loaded with it. Adults, and even children past a certain age, do not need milk. Humans are the only animal species that consume milk as adults. It isn’t natural. That’s why so many people have so called “lactose intolerance”. It’s not some abnormal condition like they’re made to believe. Their bodies are SUPPOSED TO BE intolerant of lactose.
