I'm lactose intolerant. Sorry, can't help.
Most people will develop at least a mild milk allergy later in life. Humans aren't built to drink cow's milk. We're built to drink human milk... but the logistics of mass production of that would be staggering. Oh great, the "grown ups aren't supposed to drink milk-argumen". Stop listening to your lactose-intolerant mother pwease |

Oh hi, nice to meet you.  |
'Reality' is the only word in the language that should always be used in quotes.

Oh great, the "I have no fuckin' clue who the poster I just rebutted is, but I'm right 'cause I gave my opinion on the internets" defense. Stop listening to your ego and maybe learn a bit about the community before you make an ass of yourself, again.

Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I wasn't going to bother to contradict Nebu because its was entirely incidental to the thread,but in view of the dog piling. Adults developing an allergy to milk is rare. Allergy!=Lactose intolerance. In fact the reverse appears to be true,a high incidence of being allergic in children that is later grown out of. Either way the statement that "most" adults develop a milk allergy is complete bullshit. And even people who are lactose intolerant still have a threshold of consuming milk before any adverse effects are felt. For some sense of perspective peanuts are one of the most common allergies and it only effects 1% or so of the US population. Milk allergy has been reported in adults, although allergies to nuts, peanuts, seafoods, and eggs are all more common than milk allergy in adults.[1] This is in contrast to milk allergy in children, which during infancy is one of the most common food allergies. Actually, in children, it appears that there are 2 general types of IgE-mediated milk allergy in childhood. One form tends to be transient and the second form is associated with persistent allergy that is not outgrown in childhood. Recently, molecular mechanisms have been proposed for these different forms of milk allergy.[2] In the transient form of allergy, the IgE binds to a secondary or tertiary structure of a milk protein; while in the more severe form, IgE binds to a linear epitope that is strictly determined by the amino acid sequence. This type of linear epitope is resistant to effects of digestion in the stomach and intestines, and thus may be more likely to penetrate the gastrointestinal lining and reach immunologically active tissues. Why this type of allergy is persistent rather than transient is not known. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/465614 |

Celiac isn't technically an allergy but an auto-immune disorder. Glutten containing foods still list it under allergens. It's still refered to as a food allergy.
Sorry we're not being pedantic enough for you, but the guy with five posts was being out of line.

Im not disputing the accuracy of his use of "allergy" to mean lactose intolerant (I did give the benefit of the PHD holder to say what he means). Even assuming he meant "allergy" in just a general way to mean lactose intolerant, it still does not make sense in light of the "People need people milk" comment. Human milk has like twice the amount of lactose that processed cow milk has. So even assuming he meant something other than what he said,its still wrong. Mass production of human milk would exacerbate the problem not remedy it. but the guy with five posts was being out of line. For sure,I only bring it up because its funny. Appealing to authority when its incorrect is just too amusing to be silent. |

What people (especially children) need is calcium (single largest non-genetic factor in adult height). Milk is just the easiest dietary way of getting it. Middle-aged people don't need it as much, and once you're no longer producing children evolution is pretty much done with you (most older people actually get more calcium than they need as it leeches out of their bones and into their joints, leading to arthritis).
