Not just lactose, raw milk can contain all sorts of nasty stuff. Seems like you probably had super healthy cows, a good immune system, and a healthy dose of luck.

beerclue@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoI read somewhere that certain places have a very large amount of people with lactose intolerance, like north America. I used to drink raw milk, straight from the bucket my grandma used to milk the cow. Never had any issues. Grew up on a farm in Romania in the 80s.

Most people worldwide are lactose intolerant and the large majority of non-white people are lactose intolerant.
It would almost be more fair to call it lactose tolerance but English is understandably pretty eurocentric.

There’s more to it than just lactose, they have very high fat. You’d want to at least filter it through a cloth.

Your immune system probably built up a larger tolerance to the bacteria in raw milk after consuming it for years.
