Many adult Africans and Europeans can eat dairy without experiencing metabolic distress. After they are weaned, their bodies continue to produce lactase – the enzyme that digests lactose – the sugar specific to milk. Asians are more prone to lactose intolerance. Only about 25 percent of the population can easily digest dairy, compared with about 60 percent of Europeans (the figures vary widely from place to place).

Standing on the ruins of the Philistine city of Ashdod, there is a view of the Be'er Tuvia industrial zone and Route 4, which runs along Israel's coastal plain from Gaza to Lebanon. The view is not spectacular, but it is the fond hope of the Israel Nature and Parks Authority that nobody will notice that. The future throngs of visitors will be distracted from the factories and speeding cars by the reconstructed ancient city of Ashdod – or at least, its reconstructed monumental Iron Age gate.
