Hello friends, many people are dairy intolerant, but why does that happen; When our digestive system cannot properly digest a food we generate a thing called sensitivity or intolerance to that food, in the case of dairy this is very evident; As children we consume breast milk to nourish ourselves and in fact breast milk as food is infinitely superior to formula milk; Many studies show how the use of breast milk improves our cognitive capacity compared to the use of formula milk.
A lot of the ability to tolerate lactose, digesting it correctly depends on your genetic origins, in Asia for example the vast majority of the population has lactose intolerance, but the countries with less lactose intolerance are for example Russia and the Nordic countries because They were the ones that historically consumed the most dairy products, so if you are not from those countries the probability that you cannot digest lactose correctly is very high, therefore, if you are going to consume dairy, I will recommend that they at least have no lactose.
