Lactose intolerance : myths and facts : processing
Lactose intolerance is a well-known term. It refers to the lack of sufficient lactase enzymes in the body to break down milk sugar (lactose). The term lactose intolerance is often misunderstood and incorrectly treated by avoiding milk and other dairy products.
