Lactose is a reducing sugar so it requires physiological work to break down, different than something refined which requires minimal work and is digested much more readily and causes much more dramatic insulin responses subsequently.
Milk is something mammals can produce readily for their newborns when both the newborn and the mother are vulnerable. It is calorie dense, high in fat and has sedative effects. It is meant as a nutritional stopgap to fatten the baby quickly (sugars) and to keep it quiet. The majority of humans can’t properly digest lactose after they grow beyond toddlers.
But dairy is a far cry from refined sugar and wheat. Fruit for that matter too, though there are many additional problems with fruit beyond its sugar content.
If you look at seed oil consumption in the United States, the amount of seed oils consumed from 1920 to 1960 is nearly flat, going from around 15 grams per person to around 18 grams per person over 4 decades. In that same timeframe there is precipitous increase in heart attack deaths (good proxy for CVD as well). Deaths from heart attack increased by a factor of nearly 5x (220,000 in 1920 to 960,000 in 1960). Seed oils being the primary driver of this is impossible as increased consumption was negligible.
