➡️ Here's the interesting fact:
A large percentage of adults globally are lactose intolerant.
Meaning their bodies naturally reduce the enzyme needed to digest milk after childhood.
To digest lactose, the body requires an enzyme called lactase. In its absence, milk undergoes fermentation in the gut.
One of its byproducts, galactose, is a type of sugar that can contribute to oxidative stress and chronic inflammation in the body over time.
