MILK!!

Fastlad

I decided to take a food intolerance test and lo and behold, i'm Cows milk intolerant!! i've been feeling lethargic for a while so i thought i'd get my dietary habits checked. Not only am i milk intolerant BUT i'm Wheat, chocolate, peppers and tartrazine intolerant (bang goes my irn bru habit) Apparently 70 % of the worlds population is milk intolerant. So im on the Almond milk and checking the labels on everything to see if cows milk is on it. Surprisingly its in most pre packed foods, even my fave Alpen muesli. :roll:

Goats milk FTW.

lactose intolerance is common, but afaik for most people there're little if any symptoms, especially if intake is limited, and there are substitutes

but chocolate and peppers!!! that's serious, life cannot be worth living, i'd get a second opinion, and a third

must be more than that in Finland - getting real milk and butter is a challenge in their supermarkets

Food intolerance tests get my bullshit radar twitching. Is there much regulation in the industry?

Yes, but it is a cultural aversion, not a physical one.

Most of the world's lactose intolerants live in Asia and Africa. Finland does indeed have the highest rate in the developed world but even there it's nowhere near 70 per cent. All supermarkets there stock real milk and butter.

Edit: Not that Finnish supermarkets are anything but utter shite, which is one of the many reasons I got the feck out of there. Lou Todd is right: it has a maudlin quality to it, rendering it unsuitable as a holiday (or any other) destination.

We're not "lactose intolerant". We just refuse to put up with any of lactose's sh!t.

I'm lactose intolerant and have been for years it's a pain if eating out but ok otherwise. By the way do you know you can get breast milk ice cream (never tried it myself but told its very sweet) (and not just in the arctic)

I was going for Cow pat actually - but yours is better

@ Rick

1% of it - when we have a (e.g.) TdF Stage X thread, where everyone is discussing the race, but then immediatly after we have 3 or 4 other threads, all talking about the same stage saying isnt Cav Great/finished, Sky are great/cr*p, Andy Schleck Sucks threads - annoying becasue the discussion gets split up do everyone has to post 3 or 4 times saying the same thing and becasue usually topic has already been hatched and dispatched

99% of it - so i could make some cow puns...

Fastlad

back on topic, you lads have creamed this enough... i'm finding it difficult to avoid foods containing milk. Avoiding milk is easy :evil:

Fastlad

Oh yes, BIG dairy is very good at advertising its many supposedly health benefits. Sure, milk has vitamins in it, BUT it's full of growth hormones, and a glue like substance that's used to stick furniture together and label onto cans and bottles. The dietician i consulted said that she wouldn't drink milk if someone paid her, surely speaks volumes!

I'm getting cheesed off with all this intolerant bull. Your all acting like cattle.

This threads lost it's whey.
