Can you develop lactose intolerance?
Yes. Lactose intolerance is a phenomena of the digestive system. Just because you have milk in the mammeries has no bearing on what happens to milk in the intestines. The same argument goes for lactose intolerant (human) mothers.
Does a lactose intolerance worsen with age?
It can, although not always. My partner first developed the intolerance in his late 20s but his symptoms were mild like bloating and nausea. He is now in his mid 30s and it can make him violently sick.
What percentage of the world's population loses the ability to produce the enzyme lactase with age?
About 75% (three-quarters) of all adults produce less lactase as they grow older.This is only an approximate figure. In parts of Europe it is about 5%, and in parts of Asia above 90%.The condition is known as lactose intolerance, because without the enzyme people cannot digest the sugar lactose. The lactose is therefore not absorbed and travels further along the gut, where bacteria act on it and produce gases, which cause considerable discomfort.Lactose is particularly found in milk, and people with lactose intolerance have to avoid dairy foods as far as possible.
What is the chief reason that many people with lactose intolerance can consume food containing some lactose without suffering any symptoms?
It depends on the level of lactose intolerance in the individual and it also depends on the dairy food that is consumed. The level of lactose intolerance depends on how much lactase enzyme exists in the person's digestive system to digest the lactose. The more lactase, the easier it is to digest the lactose, the less lactase, the harder to digest the lactose and the food moves through the intestines without being digested properly and this is primarily what causes the symptoms in lactose intolerance. Some dairy foods have lower levels of lactose: * Most low fat yoghurts * Parmesan cheese * Low fat mozzarella But even when eating these foods, if too much is eaten at once or on an empty stomach, it can increase risk of getting symptoms. Other (especially high fat) dairy foods will cause the lactose symptoms (bloating, gas, abdominal pain, nausea) within a short time of eating the foods. Some research suggests that eating a little bit of the well-tolerated dairy foods, together with other foods may help with their digestion and may increase levels of the lactase enzyme as the body becomes more used to digesting the lactose. But other research suggests that we all become more lactose intolerant as we age anyway. Some cultures are more prone to be lactose intolerant than others anyway.

At what age should the elderly stop drinking milk?
There is no specific age at which the elderly should stop drinking milk. It depends on individual factors such as lactose intolerance, dairy allergies, and personal preferences. It's best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.

What is lactose intolerance and is it the same as a milk allergy?
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose, found in animal milk (including human milk, which, in fact, has about twice has much lactose as cow's milk). An enzyme called lactase is required to digest lactose. When this enzyme is missing, the following symptoms may occur: abdominal cramps, diarrhea, gas, a feeling of bloatedness. Symptoms may occur within an hour, or up to several days later. The intensity of symptoms varies widely. DIAGNOSIS Lactose intolerance can be self-diagnosed by eliminating milk and dairy products from your diet for two weeks, then reintroducing milk (a glass or two), and seeing what happens. Your doctor can administer a couple of tests to confirm lactose intolerance (basically involves drinking a sweet drink containing a lot of lactose on an empty stomach and monitoring blood levels of glucose -- no rise in glucose means the lactose is not being absorbed; the other involves checking breath levels of hydrogen). TREATMENT If you are diagnosed with lactose intolerance, you have a variety of options. Lactase is available by prescription (Lactaid), and can be added to milk (drops) or taken with food containing dairy products (tablets). Some people may have adverse reactions to this medication, however (in tablet form -- the reaction is believed to be allergic. Drops seem to be ok.). Lactose reduced milk and cheeses are available in some areas. Aged cheeses, yogurt and sour cream may be tolerable (most of the lactose has already been converted). You can find your level of lactose tolerance by either cutting out dairy products entirely and slowing working them back into your diet, or you can slowly eliminate them until you stop having difficulties. Tables indicating lactose content for milk and milk products are available. Some believe that lactose intolerance is, in fact, the human (and mammalian) norm, rather than an aberration, citing in support statistics that indicate most of the world's population is lactose intolerant (Europeans and those of European descent being the exceptions), and the tendency to lactose intolerance with increased age. MILK ALLERGY Milk allergy, on the other hand, involves an allergic reaction to one or more of the proteins in milk (casein, lactalbumin, lactoglobulins). An allergic reaction to milk may include: eczema, rash, mucous buildup, wheezing, asthma, rhinitis, pneumonia, anaphylaxis. The type and severity of symptoms varies widely. Because a true milk allergy may involve mast cells in the mouth and throat, it is possible to have an allergic reaction to milk or milk products before they are digested. It is possible to be both lactose intolerant AND allergic to milk. DIAGNOSIS The bad news is, diagnostic tests for milk allergy -- for food allergy in general -- are hit or miss. One source I have claims that a negative is accurate, but false positives are common. Another states that the extracts used in allergy tests tend to lose potency quickly so you might test negative on a test and STILL be allergic. Elimination diets are the best test you have available to you. If you suspect milk allergy, eliminate milk and milk products for two or more weeks, and see what happens. If you can convince your physician to conduct a double-blind test on you, you may be able to confirm the diagnosis. TREATMENT The worse news is, no cure is available -- avoidance, and symptom control via antihistamines, etc. are the best you can do. (For now, at least, this is true of all food allergy, at least according to the conservative medical community -- but research is ongoing. I have a reference to a study by the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine in Denver which claims successful desensitization to peanuts in people who had a life history of allergic reaction to them. There's a dim hope, at least.) [The National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine in Denver has prepared a report about successful desensitization to peanuts in patients with a life history of allergic reaction to them. The address for that group is: National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine, Public Affairs Department, 1400 Jackson Street, Denver, CO 80206 303-398-1079, 800-222-LUNG (5864)] Lactose intolerance is the inability to break down the sugar in milk, lactose. There are varying levels of lactose intolerance, based upon how much of the enzyme "Lactase" your body has. The more it has, the better the ability of your body to break down the sugar, and the more tolerance you have. Since cow milk is not a natural thing for humans to drink (nor any milk past age 2), it makes sense that people will develop primary lactose intolerance over their life time and it is not uncommon for adults to develop the symptoms of lactose intolerance which include but are not limited to; diarrhea, stomach cramps, bloating, gas and nausia. If a young child has any of these symptoms, contact their doctor, as it is possible to be born lacking lactase.
What causes lactose intolerance?
lactose intolerance is caused by reduced or absent activity of lactase that prevents the splitting of lactose. it also occures when the small intestine does not produce enough enzyme called lactase. your body needs lactase to break down, or digest lactose.

How does this title the roaring twenties fit with the great depression?
The 1920s was called various names such as "The Jazz Age," the Age of Intolerance," and the "Age of Nonsense."
