Does consuming raw milk (unpasteurized) products help resolve lactose intolerance as is often claimed? Christopher Gardner of Stanford University put this to the test. Discussed here on the Huberman Lab podcast out now (full length here X & on all other platforms at the link below).

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X The pasteurization myth persists despite evidence. Studies show raw milk contains the same lactase-degrading bacteria counts as pasteurized milk. The tolerance mechanism is adaptation of gut microbiota over time, not the milk's processing method (Gardner et al. 2023).

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X How many people in the study? I've had dozens of people tell me they can drink raw but can't drink pasteurized and they had zero reason to lie about it. I still don't think raw milk "heals" everyone's lactose intolerance.

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X @GardnerPhD is one of the most corrupt nutritionist in America…he’s an AHA lobbyist dressed as a vegan…his bad ideas have contributed to millions of American deaths from heart disease. Also note he’s extremely unhealthy himself, no muscle mass, overweight…why take his advice?!

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X Where can I get raw milk? I can never find it

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X I always feel bad for people who can’t drink milk in general

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X Honestly, this is an embarrassing study, and I'm surprised you didn't offer pushback. We know that lactose intolerance is a complex issue and ties into the microbiota of our guts. A handful of people drinking raw milk for a week presents only the weakest first order evidence.

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X That’s interesting. I have been drinking it for a little over a year, off and on. I notice a big difference. If I drink it too often I will have acne, but my gut seems fine. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X Are there people diagnosed with lactose intolerance that actually aren't but it's due to some form of other milk related issues? I discovered through muscle testing I had a wheat allergy (not gluten), the Dr insists it's a gluten yet I have no issues with rye,barley,oats.

@GardnerPhD @Stanford @X The best way to fix lactose interlace is to chug 4L of milk a day for a week, shit your brains out until you simply tolerate it (Not medical advice) Works really well
