>> They just drink it and go about their day

Yep.. same as grain eaters eat grains/bread/pasta/rice etc. and go about
their day, complaining about heart burn, headaches, joint pain, and
spending a portion of their salary on health products. Everyone is free
to eat/drink what they like.

>>Northern Asians like the Mongols have a heavily milk dependant diet as
well.

The Mongol diet of raw milk and/or raw yak milk/butter is not even in
the same league as drinking domesticated, homogenised, pasteurized cow's
milk that gets delivered to your door by a guy at 6am. It's not even
close.

>>Japanese now use a lot of milk because the native diet is so deficient
in calcium and various other elements. Broken backed older people are
a very common sight. Their Doctors tell them to drink milk.

Before their doctors told them to drink cow's milk, how did they get
their calcium for the last 20,000 years? 
Yes, of course health authorities will stick with the "drink milk for
strong bones" myth- it keeps hospitals full, doctors in business, and
the dairy industry with healthy profits.
