I'm kidding of course about the heart attacks. But seriously, it seems that most Americans just don't have the same love and affection (and possibly lactose tolerance) as certain parts of Europe with countries like Sweden consuming between two and three hundred Kgs (that's 440-660 lbs for us 'Mericans) of milk per capita per year. Meanwhile, China's consumption of milk is among the lowest with 37 Kgs (81 lbs) per capita per year. This next image illustrating the percentage of each country's population allergic to lactose--a sugar found in milk and dairy products--might shed some light on these statistics.
