MOOOO!

     I recently discovered the reason why so many people's bodies are unable to digest milk is because technically once an infant no longer needs milk as food the body is not supposed to be able to break down the milk. To scientists it is abnormal to be able to digest milk after 2-5 years of age. Scientists have decided to not think of Lactose intolerant as an abnormality but rather believe lactase persistence is not normal because it's odd that humans can consume milk. There has been some type of genetic mutation in the human body to allow most of us to continue digesting milk on a daily basis. when i discovered this i found it really odd because you usually hear how milk is good for you and that you should drink lots of it to help your teeth and bones. To read that were technically aren't supposed to be drinking milk after the age 5 comes surprising to me. I can't imagine not drinking milk because i love milk and i drink it everyday so i'm glad to hear that our human bodies are capable of consuming and breaking down the milk. i don't think i could live without my cup of milk a day and i'm sure all those milk lovers out there agree with me and it doesn't seem normal to hear that drinking milk really isn't normal! It's mind blowing the things our bodies can do!
