Leonie, my ancestry is Dutch also ( well, Frisian) and prior to my breast 
cancer, cow milk/cheese/yogurt was a frequent part of my diet.  Sheep, mare, 
camel and goat dairy are safer than cow but they all contain growth hormones 
and are not paleo.

Holland has one of the highest incidences of breast cancer in the world, as 
you may know.  I have had a difficult time giving up milk and cheese and can 
empathize with your not choosing to give up dairy entirely.  Then again, I 
thought I was doing great consuming dairy also and I had convinced myself 
that because my family had eaten large amounts of dairy for so many 
generations I must have adapted to it.  You may well be right, we may both 
actually have adapted to dairy, but in my case it isn't worth taking any 
chances.
