    I mean, really depends on the region for lactose intolerance:

    Worldwide, about 80% of people experience some form of lactose intolerance as they age past infancy, but there are significant differences between populations and regions. As few as 5% of northern Europeans are lactose intolerant, while as many as 90% of adults in parts of Asia are lactose intolerant.

    An estimate of the percentage of adults that can digest lactose in the indigenous population of the Old World
