Lactose Intolerance
According to the National Institutes of Health, 25 percent of Americans have low levels of lactase - a digestive enzyme that helps the body digest lactose (the naturally occurring sugar found in milk.) The good news is that researchers also believe many of these people may never experience symptoms of lactose intolerance.
Recent evidence strongly suggests that people with lactose intolerance can easily enjoy the recommended number of dairy foods per day without discomfort. For some people, the best thing is to learn how to enjoy dairy differently.
- Start Small - Try a smaller portion of milk and slowly increase the serving size.
- Pair Up - Drink milk with other foods, not on an empty stomach.
- Say Cheese - Hard, aged cheese (Cheddar, for example) has little to no lactose, so it's easy to enjoy.
- Get Cultured - Milk products with "friendly" bacteria (yogurt, for example) appear easier to digest.
- Favor a Flavor - Many people report being able to enjoy chocolate milk better than plain milk.
