The nomad Masai in Kenya drink/eat almost exclusively raw cows' milk
,blood and meat. Tests done on them show they have extremely healthy
blood lipid profiles. They are tall, slender,muscular and athletic. They
have also been shown to have lactose intolerance amongst them, in
numbers that are surprisingly high. The speculation for their apparent
health is that they consume milk in large enough quantities to offset
the intolerance, and thus get the nutrients they require.
