Most of the world's adults have difficulty digesting lactose, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. There is a general decrease in levels of the enzyme lactase, which is responsible for the digestion of lactose, and aside from Northern Europeans and those of Northern European descent, most racial and ethnic groups experience a pronounced decline.

on 8/8/2006 Hard cheeses usually have 95% less lactose than milk. Aged hard cheeses are usually lactose free. Read the label. If there are 0 carbs then there is 0 lactose. Lactose is just a kind of sugar after all.

on 11/22/2005 I've been lactose intolerant for 2 years and just found lactose free cheese and soy cheese, which is just as good. look for it in the cheese aisle.
