Gender, Age, Race and Lactose Intolerance: Is There Evidence to Support a Differential Symptom Response? A Scoping Review

[arewenearlythereyet]

Perceptions about age, gender and race related to LI are a barrier to effective education and dietary selection. We found very limited research to support the claims of unique gender, age or race differences in LI beyond LNP differences. Rather, dose, diet (including dietary adaptation of the microbiome), body size and LNP are the likely primary drivers of intolerance symptoms.

I thought this was an interesting review ...it’s a bit long but does go through a systematic review of literature since the 1970’s, highlighting the various flaws in the science
