And to be honest, it doesn't really make much sense. If you look at mammals around the planet, All the mammals, right, mammalian, breast tissue, breast milk. So they're all drinking the mom's breast milk until they get weaned off for food. No other mammal on the planet drinks the breast milk of another mammal to thrive later in life. So humans are the only ones who do it.

It's really mostly cow milk. And it's kind of frigging bizarre. But it works for a lot of people. And so that is the classic example of sort of overcoming genes over the course of evolution. But I don't know many like that. So I don't have a better example of can people who evolved from Africans versus Asians versus Scandinavians do anything different than that.

That's the only example I've got, but could be possible.

Totally respect that. Let me do the weed thing, but let me go back to lactose intolerance for just a minute. So I had an opportunity to work with a guy who raises raw milk products in California. And he was convinced this raw milk would heal lots of people of lots of things. Define raw milk. No pasteurization. Yeah, no pasteurization, which drives health.

Yeah, which drives some health professionals crazy because at a large scale, you could get listeria and other issues from this if the whole thing wasn't properly hygienic. Okay, so anyway, some of his claims seemed outlandish and quite a few of them would be hard to test like cancer or some chronic disease. You'd have to wait decades to see that happen.

But at one point, he said, and raw milk cures lactose intolerance. And I thought, that seems frigging wild. So, I mean, how would that happen? And for me, so I am a nutrition interventionist. That is like my superpower. I love designing trials to answer questions, but usually in a couple of months or a year, not in 40 or 50 years.

And I thought, of all the claims that you have, lactose intolerance sets on in hours. So if you wanted to know if this worked or not, you'd know right away. So I said, I will do this. This is like the most inexpensive study that I have ever run.
