YouTuber NileRed was curious about how lactose-free milk is made, so he did a little research and came up with this helpful explainer.
Even among those with lactose intolerance, it's possible to manage it through a few steps like drinking lactose-free milk. Here's a list of foods listed by lactose amounts. Via Mayo Clinic:
People with lactose intolerance are unable to fully digest the sugar (lactose) in milk. As a result, they have diarrhea, gas and bloating after eating or drinking dairy products. The condition, which is also called lactose malabsorption, is usually harmless, but its symptoms can be uncomfortable.
A deficiency of lactase — an enzyme produced in your small intestine — is usually responsible for lactose intolerance. Many people have low levels of lactase but are able to digest milk products without problems. If you're actually lactose intolerant, though, your lactase deficiency leads to symptoms after you eat dairy foods
