History of Milk — The Drink Most Humans Can't Drink

Seventy percent of people on Earth can't drink milk. That's not a disease. That's the default. You're the exception. This is the story of how one random genetic mutation ten thousand years ago set off a chain of events that ended in a nine-hundred-billion-dollar industry, sacred cows protected by law, children dying from a glass of milk bought at a market stall, and a five-dollar oat latte in a paper cup. Milk is not just a drink. It's war, religion, politics, and one of the most powerful lobbying tools in the history of the food industry. And most people on the planet have no idea any of these stories exist. 00:00 — The History of Milk 02:00 — Anatolia and the First Person to Milk a Cow 03:47 — The Mutation That Conquered the World 06:09 — The Mongols and Mare's Milk 08:09 — Dead Babies and the Birth of Pasteurization 10:41 — The Greatest Advertising Campaign in History 12:35 — The Plant Revolution and the End of the Monopoly 14:26 — From a Mutation to $900 Billion 15:33 — India, the Sacred Cow, and Milk as Religion 18:24 — France, Cheese, and the Rise of Milk in Europe 20:51 — The Soviet Milk Shortage and Kefir Lines 22:42 — From a Mutation to an Oat Milk Latte #HistoryOfMilk #Milk #FoodHistory #History #Documentary #Lactose #LactoseIntolerance
