About two thirds of the world's population is lactose intolerant, on a global (not western) perspective, it's weird to be lactose tolerant.

i read somewhere that your race plays a big factor in if you become lactose intolerant. Pretty sure white people are the least likely to, I guess that's where our obsession with cheese comes from

[–] SmoothLiquidation 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I think it’s the other way around. Our obsession with cheese has led to the lactose intolerant dying off.

Most cheese does not have lactose in it, only cheap or fresh cheese does.

my gut would beg to differ. I'm lactose intolerant and if I have too much cheese of any kind my stomach hurts. I can have more of it than I can have milk but the effects are the same if I overindulge in cheese

hm, you could be right! seeing as one of the most common effects of triggering lactose intolerance is diarrhea which can easily lead to death if you don't have a source of clean water to keep yourself well hydrated

Indeed. Lactose tolerance is a powerful mutation. The rest of us should fear them for their superior genes.

Edit: Queue rocking 90s X-Men cartoon theme song.

I'm going to queue the gigachad theme because that's how I feel drinking whole milk straight from the jug.

Which one? US or Japan?

I used to be lactose tolerant, 500 gallons of milk in my adolescence later I clear a room after a small glass.
