  Most of the useful things in milk are there because we artificially added them in. There is no real reason for this, it’s just what we have been doing for a long time

  There aren’t? Fish right? Isn’t that what fish and fish oil is all about? I think there are plenty of dietary sources of D3 beyond breast milk, if that’s the issue.

    Fish and eggs yes. But if you eat fish all the time, you’ll find you have a different issue with mercury poisoning. Sources of vitamin D are low, so some foods and drinks get fortified with vitamin d. It isnt naturally found in anything but fish, beef liver, and egg yolk.

      Eat fish oil instead of fish if you’re worried about mercury.

      As for d3 only being found in only a few foods? That can’t be correct.

      Nope, it isn’t.

      But you go on drinking milk if you like, people do lots of weird things.

        Easily googled dude. It is true. Why did you link to an article about being lactose I tolerant?

  If only humans could make their own vitamin D. Oh, wait

  The major natural source of vitamin D is synthesis of cholecalciferol in the lower layers of the epidermis of the skin, through a photochemical reaction of UVB light, from the sun exposure (specifically UVB radiation) or UVB lamps.

    Sure you can, but there’s also winter nonths where you can’t really go outside.

      Thanks for pointing that out.

      In the winter, only 10 percent of the body is exposed, and nearly 2 hours of sun exposure at noon is needed to produce a sufficient amount of vitamin D.

      I thought less time was required.

  You can get all the vitamin D you need from just 10-30 minutes midday a few times a week.

  Also, cow’s milk doesn’t naturally contain vitamin D. Vitamin D is added to cow’s milk and is even required by law in some countries (Canada and Sweden). Might as well just drink any milk alternative fortified with vitamin D.

    Sure, I’m not arguing against that. Just pointing out there aren’t that many sources. And there are a lot of reasons people can’t go outside whenever they want to, biggest one for me is it gets really cold during the winter. No way I’m going outside to hang out when it’s 10 degrees outside.

  All other mammals not drinking milk past infancy: Am I a joke to you?
