Answer:
Lactose is the sugar that's in milk. Our bodies use an enzyme called lactase to break down that sugar so we can absorb it into our bodies. But people with lactose intolerance don't have enough lactase. It's produced in the small intestine. Even with low levels of lactase, some people can digest milk products just fine
