I was just informed that raw milk can be digested by lactose intolerant and tolerant people alike. This is because the milk contains the enzyme, lactase, necessary for the breakdown of lactose. The reason lactase is not found in "cooked" milk is because the pasteurizing process denatures the enzyme rendering it useless.
The problem is...the distribution of raw milk is illegal...
Check out this website to discover all the health benefits raw milk has to offer and where you can get some...legally...I think :).
