I don't remember where I read this, but non-whites are far more likely to be lactose intolerant than whites. I've never heard of differences in lactose tolerance among different groups of caucasians. My husband (Polish ancestry) is moderately lactose intolerant, as are my father and one of my brothers (Italian ancestry). All three developed the intolerance in adulthood. My husband and my father can eat ice cream, but my brother cannot. All can eat moderate amounts of cheese. My brother can't tolerate cocoa made with milk, but can drink cocoa from a mix made with water, even though the mix contains powdered milk.
