 I read somewhere that the numbers are as follows: Asians 85%, Africans
75% and Caucasians (sp?) 15%. It may have been on the UK Vegetarian
Society web site. I don't recall their URL. I found it by doing a web
search using Lactose Intolerance as the search key. What really amazed
me was it provided information which explained some of my symptoms.
While I'm not allergic to milk, I do have some of the symptoms. This
site explained that this can occur.

Hope this helps.
