That's interesting. It could be the soya product propagandists, but I always thought that the majority of adults *couldn't* digest milk because of a lack of lactase and inability to digest the casein compound, but maybe times (and genes) are changing. Interestingly, they've invented mostly lactose-free cow's milk (http://www.lactofree.co.uk/) for folk like me- I wonder how many people will buy into that sort of thing. :)

AIUI most adults in the world can't digest milk, but most adults of northern European descent can digest it. Obviously people selling soya will prefer to point out the former fact, people selling milk the latter.

I have more problems with Soyamilk. I can't have too much of it.

Somebody gives her child with a downsyndrom goats milk, butter and cheese. I don't exactly what the reason is but it is better for the child.
