Pure and Simple B.S.
My family is from Poland, They came to America and settled in Wisconsin, owned dairy farms. If I drink a glass of milk I cramp and (other things I would rather not mention) for days.
Wonder what is different between cow's milk and goat's milk? My father in law was so intolerant of cow's milk, he was weened on goat's milk. He wsas from Germany.

Not B.S.
My family is from Poland, They came to America and settled in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and consumed a lot of dairy products. If I drink a glass of milk, I don't cramp, but enjoy every drop of that homogenized dairy goodness. Cheese and Ice cream, too. MMMMmmMMm.
Well, I'm not sure I agree with the theory or not. But it could be one errant ancestor who passed their 'intolerant' genes to you. My grandparents were all immigrants. 3 from Eastern Europe and Russia, and the other further east, somewhere where Russia and Western Asia meet. My 3 blondish, fair siblings love milk. Drink it in huge quantities. Me, the 'dark' one, not only inherited my grandfather's severe allergies but I'm also lactose intolerant. We've long suspected that other aspects of the 'new world' diet have adversely affected the health of some family members, considering what was known about relatives abroad. I suspect my mother, while never officially diagnosed, was also lactose intolerant, based on her milk reactions. But the 'fermented' dairy products and those from sheep/goats - yogurt, kefir and some cheeses are my friends. Even acidophulus milk. For 'regular' cow dairy, I, too, cramp up and am miserable. I love pizza and ice cream, but pay for it.
Which part of this do you imagine contradicts the article? Being dairy farmers for a few generations isn't long enough to pick up and fix a mutation.
