I don't think the 70% figure can be accurate. The Japanese I live
among drink lots of milk and don't seem to suffer for it more than
European peoples. I have known lactose intolerant people, and these
people do not have those symptoms. They just drink it and go about
their day. Northern Asians like the Mongols have a heavily milk
dependant diet as well.

There is also a native Japanese word, Gyunyu, which is also commonly
used. Japnese love foreign sounding names, it sounds cool, hip.
Japanese now use a lot of milk because the native diet is so deficient
in calcium and various other elements. Broken backed older people are
a very common sight. Their Doctors tell them to drink milk.

Ice cream was invented 4000 years ago in China. Milk is not a new part
of the diet there.
