Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So now you know how milk becomes lactose free, but what are the benefits of lactose free milk? Easy to digest: With the addition of the lactase enzyme, lactose free milk is much easier to digest meaning less digestive tract discomfort such as indigestion, gas, stomach pains, bloating and diarrhoea.

Detailed explanation-2: -For those with a dairy allergy, consuming lactose-free milk may cause an allergic reaction, resulting in symptoms like digestive distress, hives and vomiting. Additionally, because it’s produced from cow’s milk, it is unsuitable for those following a vegan diet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactose-free milk typically contains 120 calories per cup (244ml). This is slightly lower than regular cow’s milk, which contains approximately 150 calories per cup. The difference in calories is because lactose-free milk typically has an added sugar substitute to make it palatable.
