    I mean… Adults shouldn’t really be drinking milk regardless… It’s full of all kinds of hormones that don’t do anything but give adults cancer since adults aren’t growing anymore.

          I mean like an ACTUAL source.

          Because I like milk, but this is the first I’ve ever heard about milk outright causing cancer.

          If that’s actually the case, I should probably reconsider consuming milk. But… Uhh… I’m not convinced at this point. Do you have a better source?

            It’s nonsense pseudo-naturalist bullshit. If people want to talk about anything being “unnatural” then look at the broad and general world around you, as well as the absurdist history of humans, and learn to shut the fuck up. We can eat and sustain ourselves off of god damned near anything, that’s the biggest part of our whole niche of overwhelmingly successful evolution. Any something out there will give some random someone out there cancer, it’s nothing to do with how we’re “supposed” to do things (because there is no such thing.), it’s just how variables are going to work when there are 9 billion too many of us bumbling around out there. That’s just a fuck load of unavoidable and unpredictable genetic variation. Does this mean eating peanuts or legumes in general is “unnatural” since they just outright fucking murder humans at a rate that makes any dairy allergy or intolerance look like a pretty fucking stupid thing to show any level concern for.

            We managed to not only survive but very much thrive specifically because we are able to sustain on anything we can get our hands on, very much including the milk of anything that’s got the tits for it.

      Forget adults, humans in general shouldn’t be drinking cow’s milk. That’s the entire reason it needs to be pasteurized.

        If you drank the unpasteurized mixed breast milk of a hundred human women I almost guarantee you will get sick. Any body fluid, from both humans and mammals, is a huge health risk in its raw form. Infants are OK because they only drink from one and whatever disease the mom has, the baby is almost guaranteed to have already got anyway from the constant close contact.

          An adult would probably be okay if they only drank from a single human too, at least, depending on the human.

          There’s just no sustainable or practical way for every single adult to have their own milker, regardless of species.
