Lactose-free products?

The consumption of lactose-free products (whether dairy products or milk-free products) no special effectNo matter who.

Lactose is lactose, i.e. a certain sugar derived from dairy products. It is a disaccharide from the single sugars glucose and galactose. Certain people and populations do not use lactose because they cannot digest it. They lack a certain enzyme. If they consume normal dairy products, even in small quantities, they get quite terrible diarrhea.

Because of this disease picture of lactose intolerance, lactose-free products are available on the market.

Lactose, however, has no certain positive effects. It’s not bad if she’s in a food not is included. Nobody needs them. All foods containing no milk products and no lactose as an ingredient are naturally lactose-free. Fruit, vegetables, bread, meat, fish, eggs – all lactose-free.

So nothing happens if you eat a lactose-free milk product. It contains only possibly the monosaccharides of glucose and galactose which have already been cleaved in advance, so it does not have a different calorific value and also tastes a bit sweet, as is usual from the product group.
