"This study is the first to demonstrate that microbes can promote the absorption of dietary fats in the intestine and their subsequent metabolism in the body," said senior study author John Rawls, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Cell and Molecular Physiology at UNC. "The results underscore the complex relationship between microbes, diet and host physiology."

"Evaporation pools for salt production are nothing new, yet the saturated colors and distinctive landscapes they create continually spark interest for photographers. Algae and other microorganisms in them actively shift liquid salinity — a natural interaction that causes the wonderful tints you see here, including the blood reds, pea-soup greens, and caramelized oranges. Photos from William Couch, jitze, kenjet, Daniele Romeo Ph, and robnlville taken at salt ponds in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rio Lagartos of Mexico, and salt pans from Maras, Peru."

"Unlike some Asian societies dairy products are relatively well known in South Asia. Apparently at some point my paternal grandmother’s family operated a milk production business. This is notable because Bengal is not quite the land of pastoralists. In much of North India milk and milk-products loom larger, in particular ghee. People don’t tend to consume what makes them ill, and even accounting for some processing in the form of butter, most researchers have assumed a substantial number of South Asians must be lactase persistent. That is, they can extract nutritive value out of the lactose sugar present in milk (in addition to fat and protein). Additionally, many South Asians have the well known -13910 C>T common in Western Eurasia. How do I know this? Because I share my genetic information with lots of South Asians, and some of them, especially Punjabis, come up as “lactose tolerant” on that allele."

I remember hearing when I was a kid that the Pakistani immigrants thought we stank of milk :) (we thought they stank of garlic, which wasn't much used by Norwegians back then.) I guess they didn't come from a tradition of dairy products.
- Eivind
Hm, that's not what I would have guessed.
- Maitani
"It turns out that the overwhelming majority of detected variants known to allow for lactase persistence in India is the West Eurasian one. This is interesting, because there are various genetic and cultural reasons to connect South Asia to West Eurasia (even Europe). There is some genetic evidence to imply that the West Eurasian mutation derives from the Volga region. Though the word...

- Maitani
This exactly matches what we can conjecture from linguistic evidence.
- Maitani
I always assumed they thought so because they didn't have many dairy products in their diet, Maitani. It was part of a bridge building thing we did sometimes. We traveled to a school that had many immigrants and we discussed how we were different and how we were the same.
- Eivind
Eivind, Norwegians are mostly lactose tolerant I assume?
- Maitani
At least we used to. It's one of the Scandinavian features in genetics :)
- Eivind
Related: The Milkmen http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/gnxp... Dienekes and Maju have both commented on a new paper which looked at the likelihood of lactase persistence in Neolithic remains from Spain, but I thought I would comment on it as well. The paper is: Low prevalence of lactase persistence in Neolithic South-West Europe. The location is on the fringes of the modern Basque country, while the time frame is ~3000 BC. Table 3 shows the major result:
- Maitani
I had always heard that our lactose tolerance comes from gut flora. According to 23andMe I would be "likely intolerant", which I take to mean I have no known lactase persistence snp. However, in reality I am fine with and an avid consumer of milk and its products.
- Ruchira S. Datta
A couple of Indian people I know say they only experience lactose intolerance outside of India, i.e., something in the preparation methods also mitigates it. (I, on the other hand, have never lived in India.)
- Ruchira S. Datta
A few years ago I met a woman from India in my hometown, she was staying for a few days, and she asked me whether I knew a café where she could have cappuccino with milk that was not homogenized. I assumed that was because of the dietary rules/restrictions (for Jains) she observed. She not only didn't drink homogenized milk, she ate no onions, no mushrooms (no meat, of course), I don't...

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

I like how being aware of the lag time of space transmissions always reminds me that *everything* has a lag time. Even this thought took milliseconds to show up in my stream, and it took milliseconds to get from my brain to my keyboard.
