What's even more interesting to me, is that we could presume to blame a lack of bacteria found in milk for issues with our immune system, which is so highly tuned and incredibly sensitive that a small injection of dead cells is enough to inoculate us from a wide range of diseases effectively for life. To suggest that we need any additional bacteria in our daily lives to maintain the health of our immune system is kinda absurd.
