I love dairy products and was raised on them; but, like about 5% of northern Europeans, I am lactose intolerant. Dairy products are major allergens and they contain growth promoters which are a risk for cancer, autoimmunity, heart disease and osteoporosis in everybody. Later in life, dairy allergy manifests with sleep apnoea, migraine, irritable bowel, depression and arthritis.

Around 90% of Asians are lactose intolerant.

Agreed that dairy has been a difficult product for many Asians given their lactose intolerance. I think as lactose free alternatives and other changes in cooking materials occur, we'll be able to enjoy the flavours of diary with none of the side effects!
