    I guess that the soy yogurt I had for breakfast and the vegan mozzarella that I had on my lasagna for dinner last night were all just in my imagination.

      Not everyone is able to handle soy, there is no solution for every person.

      As an avid consumer of yogurt, what you consumed isn’t yogurt.

        More people are intolerant of dairy than soy…

          You know that’s one of those really neat things about the world we live in.

          Roughly about 65% of the world has lactose malabsorption. However the United States has one of the highest concentrations of people who aren’t lactose intolerant, with only roughly 35% of the population having lactose malabsorption.

          Has to do with the genetic mutation that allowed people to drink milk much longer was in most of the ancestors who founded the US and those who came to the US eventually got the gene in some fashion mixed into their DNA.

          So that’s resulted in the US being this hyper concentration of people who can drink milk that’s not really found anywhere else. Russia, some European countries, and some related African nations that were once occupied by those European nations have less lactose intolerant folks as well, but not as low as the US has.

          The various parts of DNA code are thought to have developed in Europe but the US served to combine a lot of it and cheap milk from way back helped ensure that the hit of protein helped direct evolutionary processes to heavily favor that combination that allowed for longer ability to drink milk.

            I get what you’re talking about but AFAIK lactose intolerance isn’t common in the middle east.

        Considering yogurt was just a made up word at some point, I have no problem with words evolving over time like literally every other word in our language.

        Yogurt is about the end-product. It’s like calling only some things bread because they have extra ingredients or don’t use the same grains that ancient societies used to make the original bread.

          There’s soy allergy, with a prevalence of about 0,3%. Lactose intolerance is at 5%-90%, depending on the region.
