A member asked:
What kind of enzymes rather enzyme which is found in the milk we buy or in all milks which is had to break down in our bodies when we consume it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lactose: Lactose is a sugar composed of two easily absorbed simple sugar molecules bound together that must be broken down by an enzyme found in our guts. That enzyme fades as some people age, and then the complex sugar becomes in essence a laxative as it passes through unabsorbed.
