Lactose Free

Lactose Free Products
What does lactose-free mean?
Lactose is a simple carbohydrate commonly known as ‘sugar’. It is formed by the union of two simpler sugars (called monosaccharides), glucose and galactose. Milk contains approximately 4.7 grams of lactose per 100ml. It is important to note it does not have harmful health effects and it does not fall within the group of sugars that we have to limit in our diet.

The main difference is that lactose-free products are made from real dairy, while dairy-free products contain no dairy at all. Dairy-free products are made from plants, such as nuts or grains. Neither lactose-free nor dairy-free products contain lactose. Dairy-free products include soy milk, almond milk, and coconut milk.

Here we have 6 reasons to choose lactose-free milk:
