Not drinking milk won't cause your body to stop producing the enzyme that breaks down lactose. Mrs. paddyjoe is severely lactose intolerant, so when we shop we have to read the ingredient list on everything. You would be amazed at the amount of products that have some level of lactose. The list won't just say milk or butter either, but whey, non-fat skim milk, lactose, amongst others. If you're as intolerent as she is, one wrong bite could make her sick for two or three days. Luckily, more and more companies are making really good lactose free foods. She can even drink all the milk she wants by drinking Lactaid. (sorry, not meant to be a commercial). Remember though, you still need a certain amount of calcium, but is suppose that would be a whole new thread.
