Episode 357 - Why I Was Wrong About "Lactose-Free Milk" & Yogurt

from Cultured Food Life · host Donna Schwenk

In this podcast, I explain why I changed my mind about using lactose-free milk to make yogurt, how Lactase works in the body, and why fermented dairy like kefir and yogurt are often easier to digest than regular milk. I also share why avoiding dairy for long periods can lower lactase production and make people think they have a dairy allergy when they may not.
