Can cows be lactose intolerant?

Is Full fat cows milk easier on lactose intolerant sufferers?

  • Answer:

    i really do not think so as lactose intolerance occurs due to deficiency of enzyme lactase in the sufferers............ it is a carbohydrate intolerance and need not to do anything with fat content of any milk....in brush border of intestine lactase enzyme is present .if there is lactase deficiency than lactose that is a milk sugar will not get hydrolysed .so will remain as lactose and remain in the intestine leading to increase in osmotic load and thus hyper osmolar diarrhoea and dehydration. hence full fat cows milk will not be easier on lactose intolerance sufferar.
