people who are lactose intolerant are able to drink raw milk. I had to have my gall bladder out. my son had to have his out and my daugher is having problems now too. it is the overprocessing and chemicals in the food and hydrogenated fats that are so darn bad for us.
Processed (pasteurized) milk removes the enzymes required to break down the lactose in the digestive tract. Lactaid is simply a form of those enzymes. Had the milk not been pasteurized in the first place it wouldn’t be an issue for most people.
