ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 5 months agoWhat? What mammals make lactose-free milk?
If you are wondering how lactose-free goat’s milk stacks up against regular cow milk, it has a bit less lactose. As stated, the former typically contains around 4.1 grams of lactose per 100 grams, while cow milk contains 4.7-5 grams per 100 grams
Sheep’s milk or buttermilk from cow’s milk is about the same lactose contents as goat’s milk. Less than 20% reduction.
Wikipedia tells me none, but that goat milk has slighlty less lactose in it, making it maybe easier to consume?
Lactose intolerance is actually a matter of scale, some people can drink lactose-low milks like goat milk when they can’t handle cow milk.
Not that the comment seems aware about that.
