Raw milk and lactose intolerance

Finally there's some evidence to back up all the anecdotal reports that raw milk can be consumed by those with lactose intolerance.

According to a study underwritten by the Weston Price Foundation,

"Some 2,217 Michigan consumers of “fresh unprocessed milk” (the Michigan study's term for raw milk) were surveyed, of whom 155, or 6%, said they had been “told by a healthcare professional they had lactose intolerance.” Of those 155, some 127 have no symptoms of lactose intolerance when drinking the fresh unprocessed milk—which is 82% of those with the lactose intolerance diagnosis."
