Drink or Burn

It's supported by scientific research now--Fiorella is what is called "lactose-persistent," which means that, thanks to a North European DNA adjustment, she's still swilling milk well into adulthood. Apparently a gene in her ancestry got altered because drinking milk is a compensation for lack of exposure to vitamin D in dark, dank climates.  No wonder her Galitzian great-grandfather was so vehement about providing milk for his children.  It was either that or his pale-skinned offspring would have burned to crisps.
