I'm Italian (now in the US), and I had some friends come visit in Italy a while ago, and went out to lunch with some of my family. One of my friends ordered a cappuccino mid-lunch and my family almost passed out :)

20% of the video is an ad for a VPN.

The remaining 80% could be summarized in 2-3 sentences. Do we really need a video?

I searched when I saw the video was 7 minutes long and found more results about why Italians don't drink a cappuccino after lunch (or noon). The explanation is they believe milk after meals impedes digestion. (I guess the video had a different but related explanation.)

It's a good video, full of information. Ignore the snarky comment(s).

Summarizing:

- Italians in the North are less prone to lactose malabsorption than those in the South - They don't drink cappuccinos after 11 because it's heavy to digest - The video includes some information about why milk is hard to digest, and other things
