If anyone wonders what all this talk is about.

Quite a hodgepodge of information there. Touches on a lot of important info, but doesn't offer much in way of explanation. If you haven't already done quite a bit of reading on the subject, some of that won't make much sense.
Gary Taubes' book 'Good Calories, Bad Calories' does a good job of explaining the history of how we arrived at the 'fat and cholesterol are evil, grains are good' mantra that has probably done more to wreck the health of the general population than anything.
Good article about milk:
http://lifeabundantly-alim.blogspot.com/2009/11/miracle-of-milk.html
Milk is the best and only food at this stage of life. Its perfect proportion of protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins, minerals makes it perfect to promote rapid growth and development. The milk flow is stimulated by the sucking action of the infant on its mother’s breast. In addition to this vital nutrition, also present in the pure white milk is the active immunity of the mother as a protection to the highly vulnerable life of the baby.
The new born is faced with surviving the onslaught of the swarming micro-organisms present in the big World- viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. The milk contains highly specific anti-bodies to every micro-organism that had ever been encountered by mother and highly lethal immune-effector cells: macrophages, natural killer lymphocytes, and neutrophils. These are the protectors of mother’s life, her personal defense force that is now being deployed on a special mission to safe-guard the delicate life of the newborn flowing into the body of the baby in a stream of milk from the mother’s breast. These same immune factors it should be pointed out were the same ones circulating in the mother’s blood stream that kept her and the contents of her womb safe. Now they are doing the same thing as they flow directly from her body into the body of the baby in her milk. The milk is preparing the new life to survive in a living World full of living things, some of which is anything but friendly. Without milk the new life may perish.
