What is the most common primary carbohydrate intolerance?
The most common is lactose intolerance.
What can be causing frequent diarrhea?
There is a common condition called Irritable Bowel Syndrome which can lead to frequent diarrhea, also swings between diarrhea and constipation. Other conditions such as food intolerances could also be causing frequent diarrhea. These can include fructose and lactose malabsorption or gluten intolerance. Stress and illnesses can also play a role in diarrhea.
How many americans have Lactose intolerance?
Adult lactose intolerance is the most common of all enzyme deficiencies, and it is estimated that 30-50 million Americans have this condition.

What category is common sugars like fructose and lactose found in monomers?
Sugars that are monomers are called monosaccharides, which are singe (simple) sugars like glucose, fructose, and galactose. However, lactose is a disaccharide (double sugar) composed of galactose and glucose bonded together.
Is lactose intolerance an adaptation to an environmental factor?
There are three classifications of lactose intolerance. The two most common are environmentally induced, the third is a result of genetics.1. Primary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced when weaning a child in non-dairy consuming societies. This is found in many Asian and African cultures, where industrialized and commercial dairy products are uncommon.2. Secondary lactose intolerance. Environmentally induced, resulting from certain gastrointestinal diseases, including exposure tointestinal parasites such as Giardia lamblia. In such cases the production of lactase may be permanently disrupted. A very common cause of temporary lactose intolerance is gastroenteritis, particularly when the gastroenteritis is caused by rotavirus. Another form of temporary lactose intolerance is lactose overload in infants.3. Congenital lactase deficiency. A genetic disorder which prevents enzymatic production of lactase. Present at birth, and diagnosed in early infancy.
What are 3 glucose monomers?
There are more than 3 but the most common three would be glucose, lactose and fructose. Glucose is a very common simple sugar. Lactose is found in things such as dairy products, and fructose can be found in some fruits and honey.
What happens when milk is heated?
Lactose is a sugar like glucose or fructose and so cannot be denatured as can enzymes, which are proteins. However, if you heat lactose long enough it will caramelize (oxidize), like the sugar in sweetened condensed milk does when super heated.Heating lactose-free milk does denature the enzyme it contains to digest lactose, lactase, and inhibit it from working further.
Signs of lactose intolerance?
lactose intolerance is due to lactase deficiency which can be congenital or acquired. the common causes of acquired deficiency are diarrhoea, intestinal parasites and primary intestinal diseases. the symptomes are bloated feeling, colicky pain, belching, diarrhoea following ingestion of milk and milk products.
What percentage of the worlds population suffers from lactose intolerance?
Most mammals normally cease to produce lactase, (and become lactose intolerant), after weaning. However, some human populations have developed lactase persistence (and therefore can eat dairy after adulthood). This said, research reveals intolerance to be more common globally than lactase persistence. The frequency of lactose intolerance ranges from 5% in Northern European to more than 90% in some African and Asian countries. That would mean that 95% of people form European stock and 10% of people from African and Asian stock are "not lactose intolerant".
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.
What are the most known children allergies?
There is a lot of medical information about peanut allergies which is common among children. Another common allergy is lactose intolerance. Yet another is poison ivy.
