Kalenjins in south africa

[Njuri Ncheke]

Njuri - I think you're absolutly correct - growing up - we knew Gusii could handle their beer - their changaa was so lethal few kispigis drank it without diluting. Most kipisgis attributed to gusii eating ugali in the morning before drinking - and kalenjin drinking on an empty stomach. Kipsigis also ate a soft ugali while they made hard like stone ugali.

Another way to look at it is use milk as an example. Nilotes and Cushites have a high lactose tolerance as opposed to Bantus who have a low tolerance. Its all boils down to thousands of years of getting used to milk and forming genes and enzymes for processing this. For you guys your genes know how to break down milk fully as you have had cattle for centuries. Bantus mostly used plants for proteins so our bodies doesn't understand Milk fully so it leads to some bad discomfort intolerance. So its same thing when it comes to alcohol all this are evolution manenos. Genes will play 70% of many things that go through human body. Have seen white people eating junk food and still stay slim give that to black african people and they balloon in a fortnight.

Alcohol is about your metabolic ability to metabolize it. If yours genes cant handle this you die from alcohol poisoning or alcoholism. Chinese and Native Americans lack this gene

Yes alcohol is a poison to slow metabolism people and can be fatal for people that don't metabolize accordingly. People assume you have to drink heavily to damage your organs but even drinking less and having a slow alcohol metabolism can damage your organs equally. If you lack the genes No luck nothing else can help. Even eating food being healthy all will be irrevant. The only solution is avoid alcohol and that's why its clearly said even by alcohol producers that it affects people differently.

I knew...just thought it affected native americans and such people...not africans. now I realize it could be serious.

I now get the genetic explanation to alcohol intake and tolerance. Very convincing. Asante Njuri.
