Facts: Milk allergies and intolerances
· Approximately 1 in 50 (Australian) infants have cow's milk protein allergies, but most grow out of it by the time they get to school
· Up to 7.5 per cent of (Australian) children have issues with cow's milk protein (either allergy or intolerance).
· Lactose intolerance effects:
7-20% of Caucasians
65-75% of African Descent
Over 90% in some Asian populations
70% Australian Aboriginals.
