Can I enjoy Stonyfield Farm yogurt if I am lactose intolerant?
The answer varies with each case, but generally, Yes! Lactose intolerance is a very common condition that occurs when lactose (milk sugar), is not digested properly because of an enzyme deficiency. Yogurt, with its complement of lactic acid bacteria in a live, active culture, aids in lactose digestion and is well tolerated even by most lactose intolerant individuals. In fact, some studies have demonstrated that certain yogurt cultures have helped some lactose intolerant individuals permanently overcome their condition.
