I wonder how many people would stop drinking milk if they knew it contained white blood cells from the cow. There’s also cells from the lining of the udder. Pasteurization kills it but… it’s still there.
a large number of people believe that dairy is a necessary part of a healthy diet
This came straight from the dairy industry, much like almost all popular nutrition “facts”. Same with the 90s food pyramid that said you should eat 8 whole portions of grain per day lol. We just take it for granted because we trust them, it feels very boomer somehow. I feel like the generations after X stopped trusting corporations on an inherent basis, or at least not as much.

I doubt anyone would care. People are just used to whatever is normalised on a cultural level. They often eat the inner linings from animals’ intestines for sausages, for example.
It’s also completely normalised to have hacked-off pieces or even entire corpses actively rotting (albeit relatively slowly) inside your fridge; so the concept of disgust doesn’t really factor in so long as you’re used to it.
It has also been my experience that people who act concerned about something like soy having phytoestrogens in it suddenly stop caring when it’s pointed out to them that cow milk contains actual mammalian estrogen. The “concerns” they often express are rarely genuine.

Why would blood cells and lining make someone want to stop drinking milk? I’m confused
