I don't understand your logic about his "flawed" reasoning. Could you please explain?
I recently gave raw dairy (milk, butter) a try. After a 1.5 weeks, I started experiencing horrible intestinal cramps, multiple trips to the bathroom with explosive movements, huge amounts of mucus in my stools, etc. It's been nearly another 1.5 weeks and I'm still not recovered. I have never had any problems whatsoever with pasteurized dairy in my life. I know this is just my experience and I am also aware that many people do fine (or seemingly fine) on raw dairy.
From a human evolution perspective, though, it seems raw cow milk would never have been available to our ancestors until the domestication of animals. I cannot claim to know exactly when that happened - obviously it was thousands of years ago. I would guess it was before the advent of agriculture, but probably not too much so. Even then, it's probably a small blip in the scale of mankind's timescale. Theoretically speaking, I would think cow's milk is NOT something early humans would have consumed regularly, if at all. They were hunters and gatherers...not herders.
