  1. its for lactose intolerant people!


  2. No - lactose free milk is for anyone who needs it. It's usually given to babies and infants because they often react to cow's milk and end up with allergies or being lactose intolerant. Some adults are lactose intolerant and have to drink lactose free millk (or alternatives like soy or rice milk) for their entire lives.

  3. anybody who is lactose intolerant should drink it, or soy milk.  somebody get stomach cramps and stuff from drinking regular milk.

  4. no i drink it alot

  5. its for everyone

  6. No, it's not just for babies.

    People who are lactose intolerant drink lactose free milk.

    By the way...your mother is not an idiot, yet you did a good job sounding like one.

  7. People who lack enzyme lactase drink it too. Sometimes hyperactive children are told to stay away from it too.

  8. it's fine, alot of people can ONLY drink lactose free milk, because they're lactose intolerent, it won't hurt you.

  9. Lactose is the formal name for the kind of sugar in milk.  Some people are intolerant of it... that is, they are missing the enzyme to digest it.  So instead of it digesting, it basically ferments or rots in the gut, causing gas, bloating, and diarrhea.  So your mom may be lactose intolerant.

    She'd save money, though, if she bought regular milk and just took a Lact-Aid pill prior to drinking it... Lact-Aid contains the enzyme to break down lactose so you avoid gas/diarrhea.

    But lactose-free milk won't hurt you, no, an dit's not just for infants.

  10. It's for anyone who's lactose intolerant.

  11. no, i believe they would benefit someone who is also lactose intolerant

  12. yes its o.k. to drink and babies dont drink lactose free milk i dont think and lactose intolerant ppl drink that milk and its just FINE to drink lactose free milk

  13. i drink lactaid all the time, regular milk makes me want to hurl
