In humans, a mutation or recessive gene allows the continued production of lactase in some individuals. By some estimate only 30-40% of the world's population produce lactase in adulthood. So you see I agree on your comment. With the occurrence of the nutrition transition (change in indigenous / traditional food habits) the consumption of milk and milk products has become more popular in countries such as Asia and China where they were not a part of the traditional diet before. At the end it always comes back the the 'Holly Dollar!' Thank you for your input Jack! In humans, a mutation or recessive gene allows the continued production of lactase in some individuals.

I guess it all comes down to "The Holy Dollar" Re: Lactose intolerance: I was taught that at weaning a baby, the human body automatically starts to drop in the production of lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose, that we are not really supposed to continue to drink milk and that the majority of dark-skinned races such as in the African continent are lactose intolerant because (with some exceptions) they cease their intake of milk, that milk is only for babies and that mother’s milk is the perfect food for human babies and that cows milk is the perfect food for baby cows goar’s milk the perfect food for baby goats etc, etc. I would like to hear your comments on this.
