I genuinely believe so. I read about the research Weston Price did for diet affects on teeth and now we eat all the bacon and grass fed butter, raw milk, etc. Never felt better.
I think it depends on where your ancestors are from. If they drank milk for generations then you will be able to process milk just fine. Whatever foods were consumed in the last 7 generations, so some parts of the world eat a lot of grains and some eat a lot of corn. If your ancestors came from eating corn (ex South America), you would be more likely to have gluten intolerance. And same for dairy.
Additionally we have to consider how overly processed dairy is that's on our shelves today. Most yogurts have thickening agents and other grabage, shredded cheese has anticaking and anti mold agents as well as food coloring. So it's not a matter of not being able to process dairy, it's a matter of not being able to process overly processed dairy. Clean, whole (not reduced fat) dairy products that come from grass fed cows are a good source of vitamin K, which is important for depositing calcium into the bones to make them stronger. That's what I think.
Shit, I missed bacon day last weekend.
i want bacon now, i wonder if it's healthy and the mainstream health experts have been lying to us?

My understanding is we never evolved to be able to process dairy, since there were no cows back in the day. What say you?

My understanding is white people can process dairy but not other races
