We have had requests to check the availability of milk alternatives for those who are lactose intolerant or who are vegan. We checked the two main supermarkets in Acharavi and found, to our surprise, that there is a very wide selection. For those who are lactose intolerant there are zero lactose fresh milks and goats milk. For vegans we found the following:- Soya, sesame. quinoa, coconut, hazelnut, hemp, almond, KoKo, rice and oat milk substitutes. Some of them eg almond came in varieties of flavours. We counted 21 different ones! I hope this helps Jan

I thought goats milk still contained lactose? it did the last time I checked anyway.......? Maybe its less of a problem than normal cows milk then perhaps.

Hi Kelly The reason for that people are lactose intolerant is that they cannot process A1 casein which is present in all cow's milk with the exception of pure bred Jerseys and Guernseys. The casein in goat's milk is A2 which is closer to human milk and is much less likely to cause an intolerance. Before 0% lactose milk was available, goat's milk was the milk of choice. A medical advice report stated that:- 1. Goat’s milk is less allergenic. 2. Goat’s milk is naturally homogenized. 3. Goat’s milk is easier to digest. 4. Goat’s milk rarely causes lactose intolerance. 5. Goat’s milk matches up to the human body better than cow’s milk. I hope this answers your question Jan

It most certainly does many thanks Jan for explaining it to me. I always knew it contained lactose but was confused as to how people could still drink it that were intolerant to lactose.
