Here's an interesting twist to the lactose tolerance/intolerance issue.
One of my Chinese colleagues has pointed out that while he and most
of the Chinese he knows who grew up in Asia cannot drink milk, a larger
number of Americans born here of Chinese parents have no such problem.
One might hypothesize that, rather than being genetic,  a lactose intolerance 
is something that develops after a certain age, *unless* one continues 
to drink milk.  Comments?
