Except for the little fact that milk is not meant for mammals past weaning age (and cow's milk isn't meant for people at all!). And I like milk, but I have it as an occasional treat, not every day. Cultured milk products are fine (yogurt, cheese, etc) because bacteria does some of the digestion for us, but it's a fact that plain cow's milk is not very compatible with the human digestive system.
Also, in infants, dairy products cause small amounts of intestinal bleeding.
