a) Globally, 65% to 70% of the population exhibits milk's lactose intolerance... White Northern Europeans & descendents, ranging between 2% and 15%, 50% to 80% in South Americans, 60% to 80% in Western Africans, and nearly 100% in some East Asian populations (rare in children younger than 5).

b) Vitamin D & Magnesium are important for the human body to absorb calcium efficiently. From Google AI.
From https://www.healthline.com/health/is-milk-bad-for-you, cow milk has no vitamin D, and has Ca : Mg ratio of 2:0.17 or 1.5:0.13 or 1:0.087 , too far from the ideal 2:1 Ca:Mg ratio (though many modern experts suggest a 1.5:1 or 1:1 ratio). From Google AI
c) Study: a (Ca:Mg) ratio above 2:1 has been associated with increased risk of metabolic, inflammatory and cardiovascular disorders.
Conclusion: All age groups had Ca: Mg ratio above the optimal 2:1 ratio and in a subset of participants, a higher Ca: Mg ratio was associated with greater inflammation. From https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6574898/, 2019
d) in a 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 mostly white women, those who drank milk 2 or more times a day had a higher incidence of hip fractures than those who rarely drank milk. Similarly, a study out of Sweden found that higher milk intake was associated with greater incidence of bone fracture. Although the overall results are mixed regarding milk and bone health, most research shows no benefit to drinking milk for bone health.

e) data shows that countries with the highest rates of milk consumption (such as Sweden and the United States) paradoxically report some of the highest incidences of hip fractures. From Google AI
f) studies reporting on dairy product consumption, 3 in 4 showed no relationship between dairy product consumption and bone mineral density (BMD)... In 7 retrospective studies milk consumption had no impact on fracture risk, bone mineral content, or BMD. From https://www.aafp.org/afp/2005/1101/p1894a American Family Physician
