How convenient. Marketing sweets to this population could produce some very interesting commercials and slogans.

I wish President Trump had bought Greenland from Denmark.

Since many people in Greenland come from gene pools that have consumed little sugar at all for centuries, their body has adjusted to consume sugar in a different way.

Not my field, but doesn't this border on Lamarckism? Use or disuse within the body would increase or decrease function within the body over time? IO believe this would be in contravention to true natural selection.

This mutation is a serious problem for human infants and does not provide any health benefit. The NIH describes it this way:

Congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency usually becomes apparent after an infant is weaned and starts to consume fruits, juices, and grains. After ingestion of sucrose or maltose, an affected child will typically experience stomach cramps, bloating, excess gas production, and diarrhea. These digestive problems can lead to failure to gain weight and grow at the expected rate (failure to thrive) and malnutrition. Most affected children are better able to tolerate sucrose and maltose as they get older.

“While a majority of people absorb the sugar they consume into their blood stream, these people’s body instead sends it to the intestine,”

Everybody sends the sugar to the intestine ...
