Lactose Intolerance: A Myth of Medicine Overcome?
Lactose intolerance is often diagnosed, but new findings question the validity of this concept. Let's look at the facts that reveal the problems with the common understanding of this "disorder".
Exposing the myth of lactose intolerance
1. Tribal studies bust a myth: Some tribes consume large amounts of milk without problems, even though they should be "lactose intolerant" according to current criteria.
2. A low lactase level is not an obstacle: These strains have low lactase levels after weaning, yet they drink large amounts of milk without problems.
3. No difference in intake: "Lactose intolerant" people consume similar amounts of milk as "tolerant" people.
Medical diagnosis failure
• Doctors do not test for actual lactase levels when diagnosing lactose intolerance.
• The diagnosis is often made even if the patient is intolerant to lactose-free dairy products - which is clear evidence of a misdiagnosis.
The real causes of dairy digestion problems
1. Overall poor digestion or bacterial overgrowth
2. Low quality dairy products full of additives
3. Untreated hypothyroidism
4. Deficiency of group B vitamins
5. Disturbed circadian rhythm
6. Insufficient consumption of dairy products - the body is not used to it
Conclusion: Medical error?
The concept of lactose intolerance appears to be a simplification of a complex problem. Instead of blindly accepting this diagnosis, you need to:
1. To question a medical diagnosis without proper testing
2. Focus on the overall health of the digestive system
3. Improve the quality of dairy products consumed
4. Address underlying health issues that may be affecting digestion
Lactose intolerance can in many cases be a false diagnosis that diverts attention from the real causes of digestive problems. It is time for medicine to rethink its approach to this issue and focus on a more comprehensive understanding of digestive processes.
