Any filipinos lactose intolerance? I was watching the cooking channel and he brought up that asians and native americans
were lactose intolerant and wondering if it was true for filipinos.

Most of us lose our ability to digest the lactose sugar by 4 years old. Some peoples retain theirs, like the Masai of Africa, Most Europeans, half of Hispanic peoples, and only 20-10% of Asian population retain that enzyme lactase.
Almost 100% of Native Americans are lactose intolerant.

Lactose intolerance is the inability to metabolize lactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products, because the required enzyme lactase is absent or its availability is lowered. It is estimated that 70% of adult humans are lactose intolerant.
* 6% to 15% in white Americans and northern Europeans
* 18%, 30%, and 47% in Mexican Americans
* 25%, 45%, and 60% in black South Africans
* approximately 30%, 80%, and 85% in Chinese and Japanese
* 30–55%, 90%, and >90% in Mestizos of Peru[26][27]

i am not fond of milk but i drink it whenever needed for some calcium.
i don't think ive had enough calcium from milk so i took vitamins as supplement.
i don't think asians are really into milk unlike americans. they have cereals in the morn where they put in milk. we on the otherhand usually take rice or fried rice and bread for breakfast.
i guess the only time i ever have lots of milk is when my mom or relatives cook soup (macaroni and milk).

Nope. Actually my family thought I might be lactose intolerant because they suspected I got eyebags whenever I drank milk. But after all these years of not drinking milk, I just now realized that it didn't make any difference.
