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.

Galactose is involved with lactose intolerance, but is not responsible for lactose intolerance.

The body cannot properly break down lactose without the enzyme lactase present.

I am lactose intolerant myself.

so I am learning quick on what is safe to drink or even eat lately

When you are lactose intolerant, you cannot drink cow's milk, eat ice cream or cheeses that are not aged. Sometimes (and this may not be true for everyone) you can eat aged cheeses such as cheddar or parmesan or yogurt. But this is not always the case, so be careful of what you eat. Try drinking lactose-free milk, this is always a safe bet.
