GOAT MILK

Back


Lactose Tolerance

> The sugar in milk is called lactose. > Some people have low levels of the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for digesting lactose, and are therefore “lactose intolerant.”

> The symptoms of lactose intolerance include mild to extreme discomfort, so lactose-intolerant individuals often choose to eliminate anything containing lactose from their diet.

> Goat milk contains less lactose than cow milk, which may make it a better option for those with mild lactose sensitivities.

> Individuals concerned about lactose tolerance are advised to consult with their health care practitioners regarding the advisability of consuming any dairy products.
