since going off dairy I'm not bloated and having issues with my IBS. Well worth never having milk again.

No mammal, including humans, need milk or milk products after weaning. Ideally children should not be weaned until they are at least 2 years old. It was that way in the past and even today a lot of breast feeding mothers do not wean their children until at least 1 if not 2 years of age. In fact some women in the past didn't wean their children until about 4 yrs. of age. It benefited both the child who got certain immunities from the mother's antibodies in her breast milk and the mother who continued breastfeeding as a type of birth control (not perfect but better than nothing). But humans don't get immunity from disease from cow's milk and there are other ways to get calcium.

I can attest to this!
Opposite for brown rice though of course.
I'd rather eat white if I had to choose though.
