Given the percentage of lactose intolerance, in some cultures as high as 100 percent and globally at 65 percent, for most people you would have to be an idiot to choose cows milk.

You're talking about malabsorbtion, not intolerance, which is not the same. Most people with the former do not suffer from the latter.

Nope. I am talking about intolerance. Exactly as it is defined.

[–] null_dot@lemmy.dbzer0.com -1 points 6 days ago

God this is tedious.

Of those 65% you're describing as "lactose intolerant", only a small percentage would suffer symtoms commonly associated with lactose intolerance deleterious enough to make flavored oily water a better source of nutrition than cows milk.

In any case, while I look forward to your parting salvo of blistering intellect and insight, I believe I have said all I care to regarding grain-based milk substitutes for the time being. Good day.
