I found this info online and was quite shocked by the numbers:
Quote:
| Between 30 and 50 million Americans are lactose intolerant and certain ethnic and racial populations are more affected than others. Up to 80 percent of African Americans, 80 to 100 percent of American Indians, and 90 to 100 percent of Asian Americans are lactose intolerant. The condition is least common among people of northern European descent. |
My wife and I are both lactose intolerant and we buy goat milk products to get our dose of milk. We rely on Meyenberg products (
www.meyenberg.com) and Laoo's Goat Milk Ice Cream (
www.laloos.com). Both are great options for those who have a hard time with cow milk.
