Milk and lactose intolarance - Page 2

It's certainly not a factor to dissuade humans from drinking cow's milk. It has nothing to do with it.

However, I don't drink it.

Most all true Native Americans are lactose intolerant. Lots of wannaBes and so called natives are not. They would like to think of themselves as Native but their lineage is so diluted, they are not.

I happily lack the lactose intolerance gene. I love milk and dairy products.

I feel for those who are lactose intolerant, though. I had a friend who used to have to order her pizza without cheese - and can you imagine Mexican food without cheese?

I told her if it were me I'd miss ice cream most of all. She said that about once a year she would buy a favorite flavor and enjoy it...sitting...where she had to sit for the duration :-( None of the pills or lactose-free substitutes worked for her. She did say, though, that as she hit middle age the intolerance seemed to lessen somewhat and she could eat bits of this and that without disaster.

I bought lactose-free milk by accident once and thought it tasted gross. I poured it down the sink.

Life without Mexican food is no life at all

Nobody in my house drinks milk.

I've always used rice or almond milk. My kids didn't drink cow's milk when they were little. I had a lot of comments thrown my way about it too.

Hi LR, you are right. A lot of Jewish people, Asians and those of recent African ancestry are lactose intolerant. Stats say up to 72% of the world's population is lactose intolerant, although some children outgrow it.
