Hi.
It always puzzeled me,
that on the one hand lactose (milk sugar) seems
to make problems for some persons because they were
"lacking the ability to digest" lactose
(lactase missing after age of 3).
On the other hand milk sugar (lactose) is a proper aid in helping to
build up /rebuild ones symbiont flora in the colon.
As such recommended to intake purely by health-book authors.
Now i found an article (see below) that seems to
underline exactely the latter.
Do we have to reconsider our view of milk, that not the indigestable
sugars, but maybe something other in the milk is responsible for
digestion problems on milk?
(as already discussed here, coagulated and pre fermented milk was
available and used in paleolithic times by hunters of "calves").
Is here a lactose intolerant person or someone allergic to milk , who
can tell how the reaction on (almost pure) milk sugar is?
Any asian could report what milk sugar does on them?
thanks
If not ingesting adequate amounts of fiber, milk sugar seems to be an
aid to achieve a proper symbiont flora.
(I prefer the fiber)

<<
Non-Digestible Oligosaccharides (NDOs) are a a class of carbohydrates
that are not absorbed or digested in the small
intestine of man and animals. These oligosaccharides have a
degree of polymerisation of 2-10. NDOs thus reach the colon
unaltered. In the colon NDOs are readily fermented by the
intestinal microflora. This may result in changes in this flora,
thereby increasing the number of (potential) beneficial
microorganisms, while repressing the number of (potential) harmful
bacteria. This possible change in the intestinal flora
may be beneficial to the health of man and animal.
NDOs are occurring in nature in most edible plants, as well
as in (mother's) milk and honey.
