I was told forty years ago that enzymes to digest dairy fade around age 16 and that dairy becomes an empty calorie food for adults (and mucus trigger for many).

I wonder if that is now a debunked myth?

That doesn't make sense to me at all. I have the equivalent of two glasses a day. If it couldn't be digested, wouldn't I have a problem? Isn't that literally what lactose intolerance is - something I certainly don't have?

I think that’s not true! My endo and my internal MD both aside dairy is best (and it’s better to eat and drink dairy than take vitamins

Hope this isn't true as I drink 4 or 5 glasses of milk each day and consume countless ounces of cheese as well. I don't do water unless I'm hiking.
