Lactose intolerance in African Americans
Some research suggests that the two groups most likely to develop lactose intolerance are African Americans and Asians. These groups see it at a rate of 75 to 95 percent, versus white individuals who are only seeing it at rates of 18 to 26 percent. Also, note that it is hereditary – but both your parents must carry the faulty gene in order to pass it onto you. If both of your parents struggle with dairy, there is a good chance you do, too.
