I also believe that the Masai ferment their milk.  I think they put it in a
skin bag mixed with some blood from the same cows.  Then they tie it up and
it ferments awhile before they consume their raw milk/blood mixture.

Of course, just being raw would be a huge difference over cooked.

*** This study did not address what seems to be to be the most obvious 
difference between "lactose-intolerant" Maasai and "lactose-intolerant" 
Americans--the fact that Americans drink cooked milk and Maasai drink raw 
milk.
