Add to ORKGMilk, as the popular slogan goes, does a body good. It contains essential nutrients including fat, protein, sugar, as well as cal-cium, other minerals, and vitamin D needed for bones. Most people in the world lose the ability to digest lactose, the main sugar inmilk, shortly after weaning. For these people, drinking fresh milk can lead to unpleasant bloating, flatulence, and cramps. However, about one-third of people in the world— mostly those whose ancestors originate in Europe, theMiddle East, Africa, and southern Asia—continue to produce the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for lactose digestion, throughout adulthood. This trait is called lactase persistence, and recent genetic evidence has shown that it evolved inde-pendently in dif...
