You’re not lactose intolerant — just mentally ill!
There — feel better?
I didn’t think so — but researchers behind a new study claim that most people who think they have the condition really don’t. They’re just head cases — and their mental problems are the real reason for their rotten guts.
And who knows? That might even be true to some extent.
But who cares — you CAN have your milk and drink it, too, if you know what to drink… and that’s true whether you’re really lactose intolerant, or only think you are.
More on that in a moment.
First, the new study: Italian researchers tested 102 people — 77 women — who believed they were lactose intolerant, and found only a third of them really were.
The rest showed signs of the psychological problems that are often linked to gastrointestinal issues, according to a Digestive Disease Week presentation.
Now, I have no doubt that lactose intolerance is badly overdiagnosed.
But c’mon… mental problems, two thirds of the time — is that the best they can do?
I won’t get into the hows and whys of the lactose tolerance test, which involves drinking lactose and blowing up balloons (really) — but I will say it’s so sensitive that it can be thrown off by a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon… or at least an antibiotic prescription taken a month earlier.
Water, vitamins, seafood — even running to the clinic to make your appointment on time can all mess up the results, so it’s not what I’d call a perfect test.
But like I said earlier, none of this really matters — because most victims of the dairy blues can chug milk until they start to moo… if they drink the right stuff.
That means making a break from pasteurized supermarket swill and switching to farm-fresh raw milk.
Not only is the real thing loaded with the friendly bacteria and enzymes needed to aid dairy digestion, but it also delivers more crucial nutrients per sip than anything else you could possibly raise to your lips.
It’s nature’s leading cure for everything from allergies to autism — and more people are discovering the benefits every day.
The only problem is finding it.
It can’t be sold in supermarkets and, in some places, it can’t be sold at all — but there are ways to get it if you know where to look, and you can start your search right here.

After I arrived here from Italy. milk gave me gas, diarrhea etc. eventually the doctor told me I was lactose intolerant. It wasn’t until my sixties that I discovered raw milk. I bought a gallon. Driving home from the farm I told myself I would have a twelve once glass of milk and see. I had no discomfort at all….ever since.
My son had problems with the Milk here. He got very sick. When he got better we took a trip to Germany I had to take formular with me. I run out of it and had to give him milk. He was fine but us soon us I got back here no good.
I live in a state where we can’t “legally” buy raw milk, although it’s available at some local farms. My big concern is that most “raw” dairy foods will be outlawed because of the risk of e.coli and other bacterial infections. I eat alot of raw goat and sheep cheeses and I suspect the day is quickly approaching where I’ll be breaking the law to get/eat them. The FDA may be pharma friendly (sure, take a drug that could kill you) but not so much when it comes to raw dairy.
Raw milk is the very best milk to drink. When milk goes to markit the firs thing they do is paturise and homageize it to kill all the bacterea and enzimes. Then they box and bottle it and send it to market. They kill enzymes and bacterea for a longer shelf life. But we on the farm could leave the milk on the table for a couple houres and it would not spoil. I grew up on raw milk until I was 65 now I drink coconut milk.
