ok so i’m sorry for the disgusting nature of this post. what is with the fluctuation of intolerance – lactose intolerance that is. i don’t understand why the change in seasons means a change in tolerance levels. a cup of coffee that prior to the spring/summer would have made me feel energized now makes me feel like i have a tapeworm. i literally feel like my stomach is rotting. thank you starbucks for not investing in lactose free milk – not everyone enjoys the taste of soy.
Here are some statistics for you:
- approximately 1 in 9 people are lactose intolerant
- approximately 30-50 million people in the U.S. suffer from lactose intolerance (281,421,906 people live in the U.S.)
- 70% of African Americans suffer from lactose intolerance
