Question about dairy
Why do so many, and the typical Paleo definition, exclude dairy? Much of the world’s population, especially from northern climates, can digest dairy just fine since it was a very simple evolutionary dice roll for their ancestors. I know that I can definitely process lactose and dairy in general just fine, and a lot of the world had been consuming dairy for anywhere from 10,000-15,000 years (some estimates even go a few thousand further).
So why isn’t the general conclusion more so “consume if it’s appropriate to your ancestral region”?
For things like grains, we can’t point to a specific gene that would allow us to process them correctly and efficiently without harm. We can do so for lactase persistence, and it’s a dominant gene no less.
