I heard 2/3 of the world is lactose intolerant, is this new? Or is there another reason

It isn’t. Milk is not horribly unhealthy, but it’s not particularly healthy either, and it doesn’t have anything you can’t get from other sources. The whole “you need milk to build strong bones!” thing was mostly marketing by the dairy industry: it is a good source of calcium, but you can pretty easily get a normal calcium intake by taking a multivitamin or eating certain nuts or greens (sesame seeds, almonds, hazelnuts, and *Brassica*-related greens like kale are good sources).
It’s not *bad* for you, but it’s far from essential.
