Plenty of European are lactose intolerant. Which shouldn't be a surprise. Highest tolerance are in countries that had a big reliance on dairy farming. You'd be surprised at the amount in some European countries.

And figures are from this study which was published in the Lancet.

not intolerant and used to drink milk until my late 20s, after which I started not liking it anymore and I really never drink milk at all for many years now, over 7-8 years, yuck.
I am not a fan of cheese either and I only eat it if it's some really good one, I do enjoy some French cheese, especially the softer smelly types, yummy.
other than that I like some strongly smoked hard cheese.
that's all, I am not big on dairy.
on meat I am not big either, other than beef burgers and some types of grilled pork, which I enjoy, and various types of fish, but not seafood (shrimps etc yuck).
I like fruits and vegetables a lot.

The data presented on the map here make much more sense, honestly. Greece is at the 30% range most likely. The weird thing however is Cyprus, where it presented a 16% lactose malabsorption rate. Despite being genetically more Middle Eastern than the rest of Greeks. Niger is also a very weird case.
Plus, a much bigger sample size, meaning a lot smaller margins of error. They did their job well.

You make it about whiteness, when I just noticed that even due to its proximity to the Middle East, it has a bigger lactose tolerance rate than Greece and any other southern European country.
Why do you conflate two completely irrelevant questions? It might as well not have to do with genetics at all.

Didn't they find a range between 19-37% for northern, western and southern Europe, with the average being 28%?
The table you cited is the other research that was conducted in previous decades. Greece's figures in particular are from a paper dated back to 1991, with a sample size of 200 individuals. It was cited by Milkaner a bit above.

Hello, I got my FTDNA results. Can you help me identify whether I am lactose-tolerant or not?
