Lactose intolerance is not a gradient, it's caused by failure of the LCT gene(the gene eventually turns off). Your body can't digest lactose when it's turned off, you'd have to eat only fermented lactose or your gut bacteria will digest them with gas as a byproduct.

The statistics here are misleading because there are various degrees of lactose intolerance. Many people who has it never even notice. The lactose just passes through their digestive system and comes out at the bottom without doing any harm. If you're one of them, you won't get the calories from the lactose but you still benefit from all the other goodies in the milk.

As long as I can remember, my dad has been avoiding milk because it gives him stomach pains. Mom never stops trying to get him to have diary in his diet, though, usually by secretly adding milk into bread doughs when cooking. I never understood how silly that ‘remedy’ was until I myself developed lactose intolerance in my late 20s, when all of a sudden I could not enjoy a coffee without suffering severe cramps shortly afterwards. After some trials and (painful) errors, I found a brand that offers true lactose free milk that I could safely have, and recommended it to my parents so that mom would stop pestering dad to try regular milk in small qty and “just ease yourself into it slowly”. No mom, one cannot just ease oneself into regular milk if one suffers from lactose intolerance, the gut will recognise it right away. Better stick to properly treated milk, or go soy / oat / almond…

I'm in my 40's and had no idea there were that many people who were lactose intolerant. I honestly thought maybe 2% of the population might be affected. I obviously learned a new concept from this video. Thanks for educating me today!

[@nc3826]

it's all thx to a plagiarized Cornell University study.... news.cornell.edu/stories/2005/06/lactose-intolerance-linked-ancestral-struggles-climate-diseases

[@shadowknight7932]

@@nc3826 Just because they talked about the same topic and gave the same reasons, it doesn't mean it's plagiarism. If I google that question I'll get far more results than just that and obviously they are going to give the same reasons if they are the scientifically correct ones. That article is structured much differently and the wording isn't anywhere close to the one in the video, so I am not sure where you got the idea that it was plagiarism.

[@nc3826]

@@shadowknight7932 Doubtful since all the relevant facts, from this post came from the study and its sequence was very similar. But even if the facts would have came for different sources those sources needed to be noted, like its done in the study or in Wikipedia for it not to be plagiarism. So the excuse that same facts could have been googled from different sources, is irrelevant and not a defensive in a plagiarism case. But it's not worth debating a theoretical legal case here. I just know where I would put my money. Also I know, plagiarism is very common on YT (and elsewhere) it's just not so "blatant" in this case, so I pointed it out. But this channel (and many others) are getting rich doing it, so it will not going to change without major changes at YT, which is doubtful at this point. But since the post is educating far more of us than the original study did. Does the ends (ie the common good) justify the means (ie plagiarism)? You tell me??

A lot of confused comments here... Lactose intolerance sounds intimidating, but it doesn't mean you have to experience severe diarrhea to be diagnosed. The human body is more resilient than people give it credit for. Same thing with alchohol. Quite a lot of Asians cannot break down ethanol in their livers(the reddening of the face/swelling are dead giveaways), but look at the alchohol consumption in Asia and you won't believe it.

[@mandarinD]

To people saying "this is untrue, I've never met someone lactose intolerant" I ask you how openly you discuss your toilet habits with your friends? most people don't even know for themselves because they think their gas, bloating, diarrhea is normal 😂

[@ChineseKiwi]

exactly!! or they don't drink enough of it quickly enough to experience strong symptoms. But people are science illiterate AF.

[@mm-qw2qz]

But in india it's very common to have dairy products, so if you ate with other people it would be very apparent. India is a part of asia, you know?

[@mandarinD]

@@mm-qw2qz you can survive with it without realizing you have it, is what I'm saying. Especially when most people around you appear to deal with it just fine. Which is the case when India has a long history of using cattle and therefore has a majority of people with lactase persistence.

[@fakename2336]

dont forget to add that a lot of the people saying that were also (likely) born and raised in the WEST, not the homeland of their ancestors. so they are completely tolerant to the milk from the cows in the west.

[@tonyabc]

Totally agree! Who would randomly bring up this topic anyway. They can only spot me if they see me pick up the lactose-free milk instead of the 'normal' ones in the supermarket.

[@shaun1165]

I am a Chinese, and I have the same reaction as many of the other comments do. In fact, I have met much more lactose intolerant people (claimed to have obvious reactions to diary profucts) in the U.S. in 5 years than I did in China for 14 years. Also the concept of lactose intolerance is definitely not unheard of in China either, so I believe people are aware of it but it's just rare.

[@Jason-wp2nq]

I am Chinese as well, I know I am lactose intolerant due to increased bowel movements and tendency to go to the toilet on days I consume diary products compared to those I don’t. But I never got diarrhea from it before... So it never stopped me drinking milk or consuming other diary products, hence I never claim to be lactose intolerant. Another thing to note, is that most milk I find in China is awfully diluted compared to those I find in Australia and NZ.

[@pkgpk5564]

No he is right Europeans can easily digest milk why others can not. Thier is a reason why the breeds of cows come from Europe.

[@shaun1165]

@@Jason-wp2nq Well honestly that depends. There are a few good brands, and they taste just like milk on the Western markets. I actually didn't taste much diffetence btw Chinese and American milk, contrary to what many other Chinese think. I'm not sure about milk from NZ and Australia though.

因为东亚人相对来说喝纯牛奶还是少，一次喝一杯200-300毫升对大多数哪怕乳糖不耐的人而言（比如我）是没什么问题。喝酸奶吃奶酪之类的就更没事了，乳糖已经被处理了。另外我总是觉得在东亚卖的纯牛奶很多是已经处理过乳糖了的。
