https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/lactose-intolerance/#frequency https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/lactose-intoleran... "Lactase nonpersistence is most prevalent in people of East Asian descent, with 70 to 100 percent of people affected in these communities." Masai herdsmen are East Africans; so I find that statistic bewildering. "Lactase nonpersistence" means the decline of the production of the enzyme lactase beyond infancy. I don't know whether lactase nonpersistence is equivalent to lactose intolerance.

A (very small) percentage of the population is alergic to peanuts. They can even die if they ingest a peanut by accident. Does it make so that "peanuts are bad for you"? Can I make this argument? Milk is perfectly fine and is an important part of a healthy diet, for 90% of the population of the Americas, Europe, Africa etc. The magnitude of the propaganda to make people think otherwise simply baffles me.

  > Milk is perfectly fine and is an important part of a healthy diet, for 90% of the population of the Americas Is this true ? I’ve understood milk is for babies and adults don’t need it
