Lactose persistence refers to the continued production of lactase, the enzyme needed to digest lactose, into adulthood, allowing some individuals to consume dairy without issues. In contrast, lactose intolerance occurs when individuals have a reduced ability to digest lactose due to decreased lactase production, leading to digestive symptoms after consuming dairy products. This genetic variation is more common in certain populations, with lactose persistence being prevalent in those with a history of dairy farming.
