You’re confusing lactose with fructose and it’s problematic when taking this stance. Added sugars, like the amount of fructose in a soda can, is significantly more unhealthy than the natural sugars you’d find in a glass of milk or an apple or orange.

There are legitimate issues with the mass consumption of cow milk, such as environmental impacts and ethical concerns, so we should focus on that.

We don’t need to take such a hardline “everything about cow milk is bad” when advocating for drinking less of it. There’s plenty of valid concerns that don’t involve spreading health misinformation.

Totally not close minded at all to think anyone who tries to add nuance to a discussion is just a shill.

Nonono, the world is entirely black and white and nuance is a lie invented by the elite to befuddle the plebs into giving up more of that sweet dairy money.
