Their mother's milk, during infancy. No mammals other than humans drink milk after infancy, and humans have only been doing that for a few thousand years. I'm sure there's links to evidence I can find but I'm not going to waste my time as it's common sense.


If its healthy during infancy why would it be unhealthy during adulthood?


Because the average adult doesn't need such a high concentration of fat and calories in a single drink / bowl of cereal / piece of cheese etc. If it was healthy and natural you'd be drinking your mother's milk as an adult, but I'm sure you aren't.


>Because the average adult doesn’t need ...

This doesn’t mean consuming a moderate amount of milk is somehow unhealthy.


Because for species other than humans the ability to digest milk is lost when they become an adult. This genetic adaptation changing everything.
