Re: Holiday Food NOW milk

Cathy: Why do you suppose this milk intolerance exists in these other
populations? Is it because once they are weaned from mother's milk,
there isn't a steady supply of it...so they rapidly lose whatever
tolerance they have to lactose?

Most folks of northern European heritage can drink milk throughout

milk <br>sugar, lactose. The result? Very uncomfortable cramping and
diarrhea.<br>Cathy<br><br>On Monday, December 29, 2003, at 04:16 PM,
