Is Lactose Alpha-Gal Friendly?
AvoidNo. Lactose (sometimes referred to as saccharum lactin) is a type of sugar found naturally in the milk of most mammals, and thus contains alpha-gal.
Lactose and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Lactose, also known as saccharum lactin, is a disaccharide sugar composed of glucose and galactose. It is naturally present in the milk of mammals and is a significant component of dairy products. In the digestive system, lactose is broken down by the enzyme lactase. People with lactose intolerance lack sufficient lactase, leading to digestive issues when consuming lactose-containing foods.
