A lot of people report a huge improvement in their acne after cutting out dairy. Drinking cow’s milk in large quantities is something humans have only been doing for a few thousand years and there’s quite a bit of evidence we probably shouldn’t.

What evidence? There's a reason the mutation that kept lactase production "on" spread so well. Today many of the healthiest cultures on Earth consume lots of dairy. France with the most butter, Greek with the most cheese, etc.

The healthiest populations in the world consume virtually no dairy. Okinawans, vegans, 7-day adventists etc.

The Mediterrean diet is largely vegetarian:

75% of the world's population loses their ability to digest lactose after infancy:

Milk is for babies. Cow's milk is for cow babies.

Vegetarian ≠ Vegan. Lots of dairy in the standard Vegetarian diet. The link you provided to the Mediterranean diet included lots of dairy (cheese, yogurt, etc.). Also, a lifetime of personal experience says that Seventh-day Adventists eat quite a lot of dairy.

Every country on the Mediterranean consumes an enormous amount of dairy. Greece consumes more cheese per capita than any nation, and Malta, the island in the middle of the med, comes in third.
