dairy-free

Lactose intolerance is the inability to efficiently digest lactose (milk sugar) and is caused by a lack of lactase, an enzyme manufactured in the small intestines. Lactose intolerance in adults can cause discomfort and digestive disruption, but it is not a serious threat to health and it can easily be managed through dietary modification. Milk alternatives all have different qualities, so try experimenting with soy, coconut, almond, hemp, rice and oat ‘milks’. Long live the ‘faux-milk’ moustache.
