Fermentation helps break down lactose, which can cause digestive issues for some individuals who are lactose intolerant.

The dairy industry has not only promoted milk but also heavily marketed products like cheese and yogurt. While these products are often easier to digest due to fermentation, the industry has created a strong cultural norm around dairy consumption. As a result, many people are now conditioned to believe dairy is essential, despite the availability of easily accessible plant-based alternatives.

it's hard now for some to critically question the need for dairy in their diets.
