trivia question: Where else can you find folks able to drink milk? One royal family in Uganda got all the milk and can digest it fine.

The Masai, who are cattle herders, drink cow's blood mixed with milk.

But the Bantu I worked with (the Mashona) said you would get sick if you drank it before it was "ripe" (i.e. buttermilk).

Here in Asia, they are pushing milk to help post toddlers grow...wonder if  drinking milk stops the shut down of the gene, or maybe it's because there are so many metzisos.
