[Title] => Lactose intolerance – a silent threat
[Summary] =>
Clinical studies have shown that people, especially children aged nine to 12, are not getting the recommended 1,300 mg of calcium they need.
Part of the reason why they are not getting enough calcium is their bodies’ negative reaction to milk or any other lactose-containing food substances. This condition is known as lactose intolerance.
It is estimated that 95 percent of Asians suffer from this condition. Ironically, most healthcare providers view it as a normal condition and don’t view it as a disease despite its possible effect on health.

[Title] => As we age, the less lactose we are able to handle
[Summary] => Milk is important for both the physical and mental advancement of a child. In surprisingly numerous cases, however, milk intake causes gas, abdominal pains and even diarrhea.
For the lactose-intolerant child, drinking milk – despite its obvious benefits – becomes a self-defeating exercise. Many children are forced to drink less milk due to the discomforts it yields, thus, compromising their nutrition and ability to advance mentally.

[Title] => Genes and lactose intolerance
[Summary] => Did you know that genes may also determine who can readily digest milk and who cannot? About 70 percent of the world’s population simply cannot drink milk or eat dairy products (except yogurt) without getting an upset stomach.
Lactose intolerance is genetic and occurs most often in people of Asian, African and Mediterranean descent. It is estimated that up to 50 percent of Filipinos are lactose-intolerant, a condition caused by a deficiency in lactase, an enzyme needed to absorb and digest the milk sugar, lactose.
