Studies have shown that approximately sixty-five percent of the human population may have difficulty digesting lactose. For people of East Asian descent, up to ninety percent of the population may be lactose intolerant, and in the United States, approximately twenty-five percent of the population has difficulty digesting lactose. Lactose intolerance occurs when the body lacks the enzymes needed to digest the sugar in cow’s milk. Although some people develop lactose intolerance as a child, it is also common to become lactose intolerant as an adult because adults' diets typically contain less dairy than children's diets do. Almond milk is a suitable lactose-free substitute for dairy.
