Evolution of Milk Consumption and Lactose Intolerance
Exploring the historical context of milk consumption in different populations, this chapter discusses the evolution of lactase persistence in European farmers, contrasting it with lactose intolerance prevalent in about 65% of the global population. It delves into how our ancestors learned to preserve milk through cheese-making and the significance of dairy products like cheese, butter, and yogurt before refrigeration. The chapter also touches on the risks associated with consuming raw milk and the public health crisis it caused, leading to the invention of pasteurization by Louis Pasteur.
