This processing level can even remove lactose in the protein, which means they can be the right solution for lactose-sensitive protein seekers who aren’t as interested in vegan or dairy-free options.
Similarly, when humans first began consuming milk from domesticated animals roughly 11,000 years ago, the great majority could not digest lactose, a sugar in milk, as adults.
Besides being an important part of milk itself, lactose is a valuable by-product in the manufacture of cheese.
Members of this group uniformly ferment the lactose with the production of the gases, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
