Europeans Are The Least Likely To Be Lactose Intolerant

[Anglo-Celtic]

I don't know why there is a difference in numbers with Britain in the two results. I would have thought Britain would be similar to Ireland at any rate.

That's a fair question since Denmark is an Anglo-Saxon homeland. Maybe the "Dark British" skewed the stats.

Irish and Danish have the highest number of Lactose Tolerance.

The ten countries with the lowest prevalence of lactose intolerance are:

Denmark - 4%
Ireland - 4%
Sweden - 7%
United Kingdom - 8%
New Zealand - 10%
Netherlands - 12%
Norway - 12%
Niger - 13%
Belgium - 15%
Cyprus - 16%

The ten countries with the highest prevalence of lactose intolerance are:

Ghana - 100%
Malawi - 100%
South Korea - 100%
Yemen - 100%
Solomon Islands - 99%
Armenia - 98%
Vietnam - 98%
Zambia - 98%

Horseshit numbers lol

Seems pretty consistent with every source.

I'd say British would have high lactose tolerance. They would be one of the highest so I'd go with the first list.

There are also other protective alleles, but this statistics is based on the European allele. CEU, GBR, FIN, IBS and TSI are European

There's little to no doubt. Maybe the other stats contained more people who don't share their ethnicity.
