Talk:Lactose

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why some population became able to metabolise lactose when they could eat cheese or yougurth that doesn't contain lactose? Isn't the calcium contained in cheese not enough for a diet?

I've copied this question to the Wikipedia:Reference desk#Lactose, where this question is more likely to be answered. --David Iberri | Talk 17:42, Dec 15, 2004 (UTC)

I recall reading somewhere that House Cats also have this mutation allowing milk to be used into adulthood. True?

I thought lactose tolerance was also significantly present in those parts of Africa with a long history of cattle raising.
