I bet the rate of lactose intolerance has dropped like a stone in countries like Japan and S Korea since the end of WW2 and they began to develop (okay thats the 60's and 70's for S Korea)
Or are they putting something else in their cereal?
Want some Kuhn Po-ruh-soo-too?
Korean doesn't have an "f" sound.

yet we all know they were historically largely dependent on milk for food.
fermented mares milk.......................
To: GeronL
Probably.
I am firmly of the belief that our bodies turn on or turn off genes as our environment changes.
As to what do they pour on their cereal, I have known some people to use orange juice! :)

Thanks Renfield. "The last aurochs died in Poland in 1627" it sez here -- remarkable, considering they were the basis for domesticated cattle and that event is prehistoric -- one long haul, and they almost made it to the present.

The lactobacteria responsible for acidifying milk is naturally in the raw product. Acidified milk is not hospitable to the bad strains of bacteria that cause food born illness. Pasteurizing destroys the natural beneficial lactobacteria.
Raw milk need not be innoculated... it’s just a time issue. I have opened sealed and refrigerated bottles of raw milk 3 months past it’s “expiration date”... the cream on the top is literally sour cream. The skim milk is like buttermilk.

I used to know someone who was lactose intolerant and would put a can of fruit cocktail on his cold cereal.

Fascinating stuff. I had no idea that cheese-making went back that far.

That is a very interesting map! Thanks. My ancestors all came from the British Isles and your map shows that is good for milk drinkers. I love milk, it is probably my favorite food.

And it’s probably much older, this looks like mature technology.

I hate milk; can’t stand the stuff. Even as a baby, I wouldn’t drink it. I’m not lactose intolerant, but for some reason, I’ve always associated the aroma of milk with nausea.

Excellent post and my thoughts exactly. The orthodox view is that you are OOA or OOME. That's frozen archeology and nonthinking.

Odd that a milk tolerance map would use white to indicate milk intolerance.
