Mostly, lactose intolerance affects Asian and black folks and Hispanics.
The ability to digest milk sugar seems to be a natural talent of people
of Northern European descent. This is good because white folks seem to
really like ice cream. As far as I know, it was my father-in-law's main
pleasure in life.

I can digest lactose if I can maintain a viable colony of lactose loving
bacteria in my guts. OTOH, I don't really eat much milk products so
there's not much point in me working very hard on this.

I have no problem with yogurt or cheese or acidophilus milk.
