Lactose Intolerance
A review of studies concerned with Lactose Intolerance, by Wilt et al, found that:
- there are race and age differences in Lactose Intolerance prevalence,
- individuals with LI can tolerate up to 24 grams of lactose daily if ingested throughout the day, and
- lactose reduced milk may be an effective strategy to reduce some Lactose Intolerance symptoms.
