Prevalence of adult lactose intolerance in Pakistan was found 60%. it is around 90% in India. Some Asian countries have that number as high as 100% !

Pakistan stands among world largest milk producing countries and it produces 45billion milk per annum described by (Pakistan dairy development company). A little is known about the prevalence of lactose intolerance in Pakistan. Prevalence of primary adult lactose mal-absorption in Pakistan was found 60% .Till date, no further research has been conducted related to lactose intolerance in Pakistan. Due to increasing problems related to lactose intolerance at national and international level and its high prevalence (100) % among some Asian countries, there was a need to conduct a study related to lactose intolerance in Pakistan. This is a research book focusing a real life scenario in Pakistani subjects.

Humans have recently started consumption of milk other than their own species.

Climate plays a huge role in our diet as well.

In Pakistan, there is very little awareness when it comes to this and many simply live with it.

this site says Pakistan 58% thus supports the 60% figure

Pakistanis and Indians drink Lassi some sort of yogurt drink, instead. (hehe oops I am telling you want you do haha). I had some in Hong Kong. It was tasty.
