AND IF THERE IS NO LACTASE? You can drink lactose-free milk. Milk is an actual food that can be consumed by everyone: children, the elderly, pregnant and breastfeeding women and people who practice sports. ...lactic ferments, added to fresh pasteurised milk during the production of many fermented milks on the market, are called “ probiotics ”, i.e. microorganisms capable of carrying out a beneficial and protective action on consumer’s health. In order to be able to exert this positive effect, probiotics must be alive and viable until the sell by date of the product and, once introduced with dairy products, they are able to overcome the acidity in the stomach and reach the intestine where they can perform a beneficial action. This term should not be confused with “ prebiotic ”, which instead indicates an indigestible ingredient that stimulates the growth or activity of one or more bacteria in the intestines, making them predominant and benefiting the individual.

This is because some people have a low or poor efficiency of lactase, an intestinal enzyme that, acting like “scissors”, is able to digest this sugar. You will find more information in the section on “Milk and health”. In “highly digestible” or “lactose- free” milk the lactose undergoes a technological treatment, at industrial level, which makes it possible to obtain milk in which this sugar is almost completely absent and thus suitable for those with an intolerance.
