We Got Milk… But Why?
About this episode
The episode explores the history and health implications of dairy consumption, including lactose intolerance and the future of plant milks.
When did humans develop a taste for other animals’ milk, and how did dairy go from being a public health threat to a daily cereal topping? Why are some people lactose intolerant, while others chug milkshakes without a care in the world? Is A2 milk really better for you? And who’s behind those iconic milk ads? Grab a glass, because Will and Mango are serving up the answers—plus a sneak preview of the plant milks of the future.
